System: X-Box and PS2
Story: **/*****
The story is
quite lame. Crash Bandicoot is sleeping, and Dr. Cortex makes his return,
and blasts Crash's sister and freezes her in time! Anyway, then Cortex
disguises himself as Crash's sister, which is relativity embarrassing,
and tells Crash to follow her/him. Crash is a good game character, but
stinks at learning and stuff, and is pretty stupid! Cortex is leading Crash
into a trap. But when it comes to action, his brain actually works! Little
do Crash and Cortex know, a pair of evil alien twin parrots called "the
evil twins" have come from the tenth dimension to get their revenge on
Cortex, enslave Crash, and takeover N. Sanity Island. Cortex's niece Nina
is also included. Three heroes are out to defeat the twins and to save
their dimension from becoming a putrid wasteland! Or a waste-verse.
Characters: ***/*****
They should've
added Crash's sister or one of Cortex's henchmen as a playable character,
but the characters aren't that bad. Nina can use a good punch and grapple
from rooftop to rooftop. Crash uses spin and jump. Personally I liked Cortex's
moves a lot better. He can shoot from his ray-gun and act like he's in
a world war. Who knew a short, demented, yellow-skinned scientist could
have good attacks?
Music: ****/*****
I like it. Like
two musicals are bad and that's academy of evil and the battle with Tikimon!
But I like most of the boss music and N. Sanity Island, along with Iceberg
Lab and Hi-Sea-Hi-Jinks. Personally, the music is very good, but they need
to make better musicals for Tikimon and the academy of evil. I can't really
add anything to this.
Levels: ***/*****
Okay, some are
fine with me. I like Cavern Catastrophe, Totem Hokum, and probably Boiler
Room Doom. But they could've done better in some levels. Like Ant-Agony
was way too long and Classroom Chaos took me a long time to beat. As it
stands, most levels are good, but some need work. Here's a list of levels
and I'll give them a rank along with them.
N. Sanity Island:
2/5
Jungle Bungle:
1/5
Cavern Catastrophe:
5/5!!!
Totem Hokum:
3/5
Iceberg Lab:
3/5
Ice Climb: 4/5
Slip N Slide
Ice Capades: 5/5!!!
Hi-Sea-Hi-Jinks:
3/5
Academy of Evil:
0/5
Boiler Room Doom:
5/5!!!
Classroom Chaos:
0/5
Rooftop Rampage:
4/5
Twinsanity Island:
3/5
Rockslide Rumble:
5/5!!!
Bandicoot Pursuit:
1/5
Ant Agony: 3/5
I hope that was good enough. That's all the levels there is.
Bosses: ***/*****
Each boss has
its different music and defeat. Most bosses have three health bars but
that doesn't mean that some of them are easy. Madame Amberly and Dingodile
were the hardest bosses because their attacks were hard to avoid. But Tikimon
and the Uka-Uka ice monster were the lamest bosses of all time! My favorite
bosses were the Evil Twins, Dingodile, and Mecha Bandicoot. But why spoil?
Buy the game to find out who are the bosses. Oh wait, I did spoil a lot
of it.
Terrain: *****/*****
Neat backgrounds.
You gotta admit, it is pretty cool. See for yourself. Real-looking sky,
sun, and clouds. Ah, it's great!
Items: */*****
Wumpa Fruit,
crates, TNT crates, etc. Not very exciting. You'll see them all in mostly
every Crash game.
Gameplay: **/*****
They blew it
with the darn camera! You can see backwards and frontward. You can't turn
the screen, and turning the screen would make it easier, like turning it
to the side so if you are on something, you won't fall.
Difficulty: ***/*****
It isn't too
difficult, but then again, not too easy either. Collect all 96 gems, beat
the final boss fight, and unlock all the secrets to beat the game fully,
and to unlock a funny video. But it wasn't worth it, for finding all of
those gems. It isn't too hard, as I said in the first sentence.
Fun Factor!: ****/*****
I have seen better
games, but this has got to be the best Crash Bandicoot game that Travelers
Tales has ever invented! It's funny, action-packed, adventurous, and thrilling.
Not so many characters though, which gives this a 4/5 instead of the highest
rank.
Overall: ****/*****
The worst part
about the game is the camera. But despite that, this is an awesome game!
Sure, I beat it in a month 'cause of the gems, but it still is a good game.
I got it at Christmas 2005, along with the game guide. I have to say, a
lot of the musicals were great, especially the Cortex and Mecha Bandicoot
boss theme, and the Cavern Catastrophe one. Even non-Crash Bandicoot fans
should like this. They should make more Crash platformers, instead of more
racing and parties. I am still upset about that. But buy this! It will
surely make you laugh!
Recommendation:
****/*****
Yes! I recommend
you buy this game. You won't feel sorry at all. It's actually a neat game,
with the great graphics, level designs, boss fights, and funny happenings.
If you like it, you can thank me later!
WELL THAT'S ALL I CAN THINK OF FOR CRASH TWINSANITY! Hope it was A-Okay. I worked hard on it.
