I have loved the Crash games since day one. Everyone started to give up on Crash after Wrath of Cortex, but that game was awesome (despite the load times). With Crash Twinsanity, many things have changed, and not for the better most of the time. I love the new storyline, playable characters, and movies, but some details did not come out too well. The music fortunately gets better after finishing N Sanity Isle. I hate the theme song (especially those chicken noises allegedly forming a tune) and the terrible take on the flower song at the end of Totem Hokum. I found myself turning the music off until the Ice level. Then the music turned into something like a 50s girl band. I didn't mind it that much. The holloween music on the academy level is good but repeats itself too much. I liked the old music better. Much better. MUCH BETTER. The Aku Aku protective masks that usually give you invincibility give you just the opposite in this game. Despite the many cons though, this game is extremely addictive. I just hope that the Crash series doesn't die. Buy this game and turn off the sound.
A Disappointment

THE TWINSANITY FEATURE
To get right to the point, not Crash's best. You hardly ever get to control both Crash and Cortex together. You don't even get to do it in the last level when you enter the Evil Twins' fortress. THAT ANGERS ME SOMETHING FIERCE! I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE HOW MUCH THAT ANGERS ME! THAT IS THE WORST FLAW IN THE ENTIRE GAME, THE LACK OF CONTROLLING CRASH AND CORTEX TOGETHER! Anyway, so you DON'T get to do much twinsanity in Twinsanity, so I'd really try thinking of some other name for the game itself.
THE CAMERA
Besides the serious lack of twinsanity, you also have a lot of trouble with the camera, particularly when you're being chased by something, like in Rooftop Rampage when your running with Nina, or in High-Seas High-Jinks, when the walrus chases you.
THE PLAYABLE CHARACTERS
Crash: Crash is the best character to play with, which is good 'cause you play with him the most. His jumping is a little off though. His double jumping is not as good as it should be. Oh, and his high jumping. In other games, you could jump while crouching or sliding for a little extra hight. You can't jump while crouching here. You can still jump when sliding but it's very hard to pull off, and it doesn't help it just makes it worse. Everything is else, except that Crash is too slow, is perfect for Crash. You shouldn't have to play with him as much as you do, though after defeating Madame Amberly in Academy of Evil, I was glad to switch back to Crash and play with someone I was used to.
Cortex: Cortex's shooting system couldn't be harder to use if you tried. It's the type of system where the crosshair just appears on the nearest target. That's usually no big deal, but Cortex's crosshauir jumps around so you never know what you'll be blasting. This is very hard to use when the bugs chase you in the Academy of Evil, because of the exploding crates. I think that they should've used the exact same shooting system that Sega used for E-102 Gamma in Sonic Adventure. You hold down SQUARE (or X, deppending on which system you're playing on), to start a laser. When an item that can be shot comes within the laser's proximity, it leaves a crosshair on the item. Release SQUARE or X and Cortex will shoot everything that he targeted. And if something he targeted requires more then one shot to be destroyed, he should automatically fire enough shots to destroy the target. Oh, and the laser only stays active for 8 seconds. It's red for 6 seconds and blue for 2 seconds. If you release SQUARE or X while the laser's red, he fires normal shots. If you release it while it's blue, he should fire all his shots in plasma blasts. And, you should have an unlimited amount of ammunition. You should have an unlimited amount of ammo in the game even though they didn't make a shooting system like the one I mentioned above. It should be like when fighting Madame Amberly in Academy of Evil, you never run out of ammo. Oh, and Cortex's jumping. He can barely jump at all. He should be able to jump just as high as Crash. His gameplay should require bouncing on Spring Boxes (those wooden boxes with yellow arrows pointing up painted on them) and jumping over pits. He should also be able to double jump. You should get to paly with him more.
Nina: Nina's a good character and all, but she's still kind of hard to use. For one thing she's too slow. She skips instead of just running. In Rooftop Rampage, you get chased at one point and it's almost impossible to stay ahead because of how slow she is. Her jumping is like Cortex's, but she can jump a little higher. She should also be able to jump just as high as Crash. Her gameplay should also require bouncing on Bouncy Boxes and jumping over pits (well... more then she does). She should also be able to double jump. She requires jumping towards rings and grabbing them with her spring-loaded, steel- trap hands. This could have been easier to do, but it's still not too bad. It's just that she jumps off instantly after grabbing them. She should swing on them like Sandy does in SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, and allow you to jump off when you want to. Other then this, it's kind of fun playing with Nina. She should also talk in this game, not just keep silent the entire time. You should get to paly with her more.
THE WORLDS, GRAPHICS, AND OTHER GAMEPLAY
You're going to be frustrated with Twinsanity, frequently. It's hard to make some jumps, due to bad camera angling. See, I go to my dad's house and play this game there, since my step-dad won't let us have video games here. Everytime I finish playing I relect on how long it took me just to get past one part of the game. Like, in the snow world, it took me 2 weekends just to pass the part where you snowboard on Cortex's back. It took me 3 weekends to pass the High-Seas High-Jinks part. It me a month to pass Boiler Room Doom. You get to certain parts and then you spend frustrating amounts of time just trying to pass it. You keep trying and trying and trying, but you die over and over again. And what makes it nice is, when you run out of lives, you have to work realy hard just to get back to the part you couldn't get past. The game is harder then it seems, because of the fully 3-D world. It's a nice addition and all, but sometimes you don't even know where to go. And the gems are real hard to find. The best part I'd say is when you're doing twinsanity. Soemthing else that rcks is the frequent bosses you. Bosses are a nice break from trying to beat something over and over again, and failing over and over again. The graphics are not to good either. Tiny's ugly, Kong's ugly, Pinstripe's ugly, and Dingodile's ugly. Coco shows up way too little, Crunch shows up way too little, Aku Aku and Uka Uka seem to have almost no import at all to the story, and Tawna should make a reappearence right about now, way now. Aku Aku masks don't protect you. Even if you have 2 mask, you'll still die if touch a nitro crate. If you have a msk and you touch one nitro, you won't die, but you'll lose the mask and start flashing to show that you're supposed t obe invulnerable. But if touch a nitro crate while you're flashing, you'll still die.
CONCLUSION
All in all, not the best game, but I still recommend buying it when the price goes down, way down...
Do not waste your time or money!

Do not waste your time or money on this GARBAGE!! I own every Crash game from back in the playstaion 1 times, and this is by far the worst one yet! I thought games were suupose to get better with each installment not worse. The game play is very week. I had more fun playing the first three PS1 games than this garbage. I thought the last one was lame (the load times drove me to sell it on ebay)but this one is even lamer. The worse thing about it is the annoying music. I feel like I am back in the 20's and should be doing the swing dance. LOL!!
Thank god I only was able to rent it and not buy it. I am glad I am only out $5.00 and not $40.00 or $50.00.
So if you like to play something that will make you pull your hair out just listening to it.........then buy this game. Or if you enjoy stupid comments over and over again then this game is for you.
Give this franchise a rest already. Let it die! I felt it did as soon as Naughty Dog gave it up.
Die already Crash!!!!
this game looks cool

ok come on "Cortex spanking Crash Bandicoot" Crash Bandicoot the mascot of all of playstation being spanked. (i saw the e3 2004 trialer and dang it makes crash look like a 2 year old) crash bandicoot 1,2, and 3 were awsome great games then nuaghty dog made CTR and Crash Bash wich were great also. then Naughty Dog sold the rights. (Why!!!!!!!!!??????) and things went downhill from there. crash went to the gba and i've never played those games but they look ok. crash 4 was made, great games slow load time. (dahyavu plot with the same old crystal thing) then crash nitro kart came out. same thing as CTR even same levels just a couple more weapons different story and better graphics. ok game beat it in 3 hours. anyway back to CB Twinsanity (title sucks) just look at some of the stuff on the web like the screen shots and stuff. and you;ll hate crash tweinsanity also. and ask what happend to nuaghty dog and find Jak 1,2,and 3
1,2 were great havn't played 3 look awsome though. Ratchet and clank (rated T) games rock the planet man they r so fun there a Halo and Crash (crash made by Nuaghty dog) mix. play those don't waste your money. if your still want 2 play it rent it beat it in 2 hours and send it on its way. (thats what i'm ganna do)(if i don't deside to rent Rachet 3 while i'm there)(i would never get to crash twin if i rented that one) thats all i have 2 say l8er guys>>>>
Very cool!!!

I think that this game is a really a good game. The music is not bad, matter-of-fact, I think it's really excellent. The cool moves are good. It's not the best of the Crach games, and I do own them all, but it's also not the worse. I've rented it so far, but I do plan on buying it when the price starts to come down. I suggest renting it first.
