Here's a review I did when this game was released, which is over a year ago now. It's pretty poor quality I'm afraid, but hopefully it'll be entertaining enough to read.

Introduction: The third Crash Bandicoot game to hit the Playstation 2 and possibly what will save crash bandicoot from dying. When Naughty Dog decided to drop Crash Bandicoot and go onto other things many people was worried about what would happen to Crash Bandicoot and with good reason. Crash Bandicoot the wrath of cortex was a huge disappointment to most Crash fans and many people believed it was the end of the Crash series. However, Crash nitro kart came and was quite pleasing. It was very much like the hit Crash team racing and saved the Crash series. And now, Crash twin sanity has come, will it bring the Crash series to perfection? Or fail?


Gameplay: The most important thing in a platformer is to have good Gameplay, and thankfully this does. Although it remains true to its previous games it also has a new style named teamwork. You get to play as Crash and Cortex that have many ways of being controlled. For example on one particular level you use cortex as your skateboard, on other occasions Crash and Cortex will be fighting while you control them. What’s better is it isn't always teamwork, you can play as Crash or Cortex by themselves on certain levels. There is also another character that is playable, no not coco but Nina Cortex. Many favourites return including, Dingodile, Tiny, N Gin, Coco, N brio, Ripper Roo and more. Sadly, the camera angels can be a problem and the difficulty at times is too much especially if a inexperienced gamer is playing. It takes a different route to the other games. Instead of just being warped to one level to another, Crash Twinsanity has one huge world which is filled with levels in itself. This is quite fun as you'll be going through Crash's homeland, icy mountains, and other crazy places. Sadly, the game's a little too short. 8/10


Story: The story takes place after the wrath of cortex and 2 alien bird creatures want to destroy earth! There isn't much else to say on the story accept its extremely funny. Nearly all of the cut scenes will make you laugh. That being said, whenever you die on a level you will be forced to watch the scene again which can be quite tedious and annoying. 7/10

Graphics: The best graphics for a Crash game so far. You can see the colourful world even better than before and the world is very detailed. The facial expressions on Cortex and Crashes face is always humorous. Although, compared to most games released this year Crash twin sanity is quite a disappointment in terms of graphics. 8/10

Sound: Voice actors are done very well here. They all sound exactly like they should, especially Cortex. The background music is unique and weird but can actually be quite funny to listen to. Noting excellent but fits the Crash Bandicoot world quite nicely. 8/10

Replay value: Trying to get all the gems will take a long time, and the levels are extremely entertaining so you will probably keep coming back for more. Sometimes you wont always understand a scene so you may want to replay the level just to understand the joke on a scene. The only bad thing I can say is the levels may be too difficult and you will get frustrated with the game for being too difficult. 7/10

Overall: It looks like Crash is back on the scene and Jak and Daxter may have some competition. I suggest buying this game, you will Definitely get your moneys worth if you love platformers and a challenge.

Overall: 7.5/10
