crash twinsanity

Advantages: something different
Disadvantages: like .....

Crash Bandicoot is one of those titles that became legendary in its time. It was first released for the PlayStation and remains a legend among old school gamers, a bit like Mario and Sonic. As with most things, a good thing is not to be left alone and unfortunately, the Crash Bandicoot series has been dragged out and is now looking and feeling old and tired, reminds me a little of old rock stars who try time after time to make a come back only to ...
...go. Unfortunately, that crazy Bandicoot Crash is yet to learn this hard lesson. Let's start with the storyline but to be fair, you don't expect a jaw-dropping story from a Cartoon platformer but what TwinSanity offers is decent enough and does the job of providing a good background for the action. Basically the game is set three years after the last game Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex which saw the evil Dr. Cortex entombed in a block of ice ...

Review of Crash Bandicoot: Twinsanity (PS2)

Crash Course Bandicoot

Advantages: Fun, nice tracks, good visuals, great multiplayer
Disadvantages: Unforgiving, overly difficult extra modes, Crystal Arenas are poor, ineffectual weaponry

Crash Bandicoot's second outing on the PlayStation2 was, perhaps surprisingly, a sequel to the cult PSOne kart racer Crash Team Racing. The first instalment of the series to come on a DVD, Nitro Kart doesn't make any notable technical advances, but will doubtless please fans of the original as it follows the same formula so closely. And that means all the things you loved (or conversely, hated) about CTR are recreated here, almost to a fault. Essentially ...
...applies to rather too many Crash Bandicoot games), the main bulk of the experience is tainted by a mercilessly high difficulty level. The CNK Challenge is the first offender - a good idea in theory as it sees you having to collect three letters placed in obscure, out of the way or hard to reach places, but things are made unnecessarily problematic with the further requirement that you must simultaneously win the race you are a tackling. And that's ...

Stick To What You Are Best At 50!

Advantages: Good Story, Great voiceovers and characters
Disadvantages: Poor Controls, Annoying re spawning, No Learning Curve

...If I was a total 50 Cent fan then I am sure I would have bought the game the minute it came out. I do own a couple of 50's CD's though; I like his music and what he stands for, which could become important later on. 50 Cent Bulletproof starts off with no easy learning curve to give you a feel of the controls but rather with arguably one of the hardest levels in the game. Here 50 learns that his friend K Dog has been kidnapped and later in the level ...
...the end of the level 50 is cornered and shot 9 times which cleverly ties into his real life past before the real game begins in earnest with you back at the docs house starting your journey to indentify K Dog's killer. This job ends up being harder than anyone thought and takes you too many different environments meaning you have to kill lots of different suspects before the real killer is found. After each level is completed the story flows along ...

Review of 50 Cent: Bulletproof (PS2)

Jurassic Sims

Advantages: Good fun and cheap to get hold of
Disadvantages: No real replay value

...and welcome addition to the Jurassic Park franchise and one that really explores the possibility of the premise from a business stand point, one that in the films always drove the characters to commit acts of increasing stupidity in exchange for the chance of vast wealth. The game is basically 'Theme Park' only with a dinosaur zoo slant. You have been charged with developing the park from a bare island (which you yourself pick from a number of potential ...
...the island you will need to build certain essential amenities such as paths, toilets, fast food stands, merchandising, sanitation etc. But also all of the cool dinosaur related building as well such as a ranger station (security) and the enclosures themselves to house your star attractions. The dinosaurs themselves are where this game really sets itself apart. Rather than giving you a list and prices you have to find the DNA yourself by sending ...

Review of Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis (PS2)

Simpsons Hit and Run (PS2)

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

Simpsons Hit and Run for the PS2 is a quite average game. You play the game as different characters through out, including Bart, Lisa, Marge and Homer, you complete different challenges to unlock new cars, get rewards or it may just be in the interest if the character in line with the story to complete the missions. You also come across other characters when completing missions like Doctor Nick, Mr Burns, Smithers and many others. The graphics in ...
...a like the Simpsons cartoon graphics, they are much more square though which leaves the characters looking a bit different to the cartoon, the graphics arent very impressive, though they do not ruin the game either. I bought this game over a year ago for around £15, however I am very sure that you could get it much more cheaper at the moment, especially if you buy it pre owned or on the internet. The missions in this game get really repetitive and ...
