Crash and Neo Cortex working together? One of the signs of the apocalypse?
The one right after dogs and cats living together? Nope, it would seem that this
unlikely pairing is the result of an evil invasion that is threatening the
island paradise that is home to this new odd couple. Crash and Neo are forced to
team up in order to save their and the world … although neither of them is too
happy about the idea.

| A home worth fighting for. |
In Crash Twinsanity you’ll not lonely control Crash and even Neo Cortex and his
niece Nina, but Crash and Cortex together at the same time. Since Crash doesn’t
particularly like Neo, he’ll take every opportunity to exact a little revenge
and put Neo through a little hurt all in the name of saving the island. For
example, when faced with a slippery snow covered slope, what better way to make
your way down quickly than to use Neo as an impromptu snowboard? Much to Crash’s
chagrin though, he’ll sometimes need to protect Neo from his own ineptitude. One
sequence has Neo surrounded by a swarm of killer bees. Neo’s reaction? Why to go
running off through an area of platforms and broken bridges of course! Crash
will need to ensure that Neo makes his way to the end of the mountain pass
safely by moving platforms and fending off enemies. If all of this seems to be a
twisted situation, then you can blame the game’s write for that. Crash
Twinsanity’s storyline was developed by Jordan Reichek, who came up with some
pretty twisted stuff when he was working on Ren & Stimpy.
Crash Twinsanity will be different than previous Crash games in more ways than
the teaming up of Crash and Neo. The first is that enemies have been given
complex AI that goes beyond that found in a standard platform game. Rather than
simply running right at you or tossing projectiles your way, enemies in the game
will take a more proactive and reactive approach to attacking Crash. They will
actually seek out and hunt Crash rather than standing in one place waiting for
Crash to come to them. Also, they know both when to attack and when to run away.
If things are going badly for them they are not above turning tail to live and
fight another day.
