Crash Tag Team Racing Review
Crash Tag Team Racing is quite obviously the best Crash Bandicoot racing title out of the three, and here's why.
The Characters
There are 8 characters to choose from in this game. You can play as Crash, Coco, Crunch, N. Gin, Nina, Cortex or the two new characters Ebeneezer Von Clutch and Pasadena O'Possum. Each character has 3 cars and their own weapons that can be upgraded.
Non-Playable characters include Willie Wumpa Cheeks and news reporter chickens Chick and Stew.
Chick and Stew add humor to the game with hilarious quotes and catchphrases and one of them keeps changing his hairstyle every time they appear on the screen during the cut-scenes. They also give you hints and tips and show you how to play the game and teach you the basics of the controls. They also star in a Die-O-Rama where Crash spins into one of them, forcing that one of them to flatten him then kick his flattened corpse away.
Game play
In the previous Crash Bandicoot racing titles, you drive around in your kart towards each race and there are warp pads that warp you to the track. In CTTR however, you walk to each race, and there are doors to let you in. When walking round the Mid-way or each of the hubs which are:

Game play
In the previous Crash Bandicoot racing titles, you drive around in your kart towards each race and there are warp pads that warp you to the track. In CTTR however, you walk to each race, and there are doors to let you in. When walking round the Mid-way or each of the hubs which are:
- Mystery Island
- Happily Ever Faster
- Tyrannosaurus Wrecks
- Tomb Town
- Astro Land
You are playing as Crash and you walk around collecting coins and completing missions for other characters to unlock other cars or get crystals.
When playing on tracks, for example, Tiki Turbo or Rings Of Uranus, you get to play as any of the 8 characters that you want, as long as you have unlocked them first.
What makes CTTR better than the other 2 racing titles is that besides the race, you have some new challenges to complete. 2 of them give you the chance to practice being a driver while the other 2 give you the chance to practice being a gunner.
Crashinator is where you drive around the track smashing targets that are laid out all around you within the time limit.
Rolling Thunder is where you drive around the track with the other racers, 1 of them plays as your driver and the other six try to escape your weapon's bullets. You have to destroy the other 6 drivers a set number of times to win. I always play as N. Gin for this one because he has the best weapon in the game.
Run and Gun is the only challenge where your player is automatically selected for you. You have to drive around the track shooting targets that are floating around the track. You have an automatically selected driver who drives you around the track as you shoot the targets.
Fastest Lap is similar to Time Trial. You basically drive around the track trying to beat the set time!!!!
New Features
Gags, Mini Games, Die-O-Ramas, Shortcuts and Outfits.
During the game, you will find Park Drones with Red Balloon icons over their heads. This means that you can play a mini game. Mini Games range from bowling to shooting ranges.
If you see a Park Drone with an orange shirt icon above their heads, it means they have an outfit to sell to you. All the characters have one outfit each, except for Crash who has several outfits.
A Gag is a mini clip showing Crash treating the Park Drones or another character badly or doing something random like running into a photo booth or using a love tester machine and frowning at his result.
An example of one of the gags, is Shark Bait, found in Mystery Island. Crash is standing on a platform looking at some Park Drones standing on a bridge. Without thinking, he pulls the lever next to him causing the bridge to collapse and the Park Drones to fall in the water. The Park Drones get eaten by Sharks causing Crash to start laughing.
Die-O-Ramas are hilarious mini clips showing Crash dying in hilarious ways such as being eaten by sharks 3 times, being crushed by a piano, drowning in a pot of cheese, being eaten by snow apes 3 times, being crushed by the planet Uranus, having laser surgery, being sucked out of a window, being crushed by a vending machine, exploding 3 times, being strangled by the tail of a cow, being crushed by a fat guy licking an ice cream, getting thrown off a cliff by a snow ape, being crushed by a tree, being crushed by a safe, losing balance on a bridge and falling backwards only to be flattened by a set of gears, the list is endless.
You get a Baby Crash outfit for unlocking all of these hilarious Die-O-Ramas.
There are also tracks that have shortcuts that you have to unlock by finding switches to activate them.
These tracks are:
- Deep Sea Driving (Mystery Island)
- Once Upon A Tire (Happily Ever Faster)
- LaBrea Car Pits (Tyrannosaurus Wrecks)
- Crash Test Mummies (Tomb Town)
- Craters On Uranus (Astro Land)
Overall, I rate this game 10/10 and I give it 5 Stars. If I was asked if I would recommend Crash Tag Team Racing, then my answer would be yes, of course I will!!!!!!

Simpsons: Road Rage Review
Rated: 10/10
Stars Given: 4.5 Stars
I played Simpsons: Road Rage and I think it is really good. My favourite maps to play are Evergreen Terrace and The Entertainment District. My favourite characters to play as are Homer as himself and Mr. Plow, Snake, Lisa and Bart.
I discovered some cheats and had lots of fun experimenting with them and seeing what they did like one for instance that let me play as Smithers.
I sometimes feel that this game is kind of a rip off of Crazy Taxi, but, however, in Crazy Taxi, you're taking passengers to random locations for the fun of it. Simpsons: Road Rage has a similar game play, but in this game, you are taking passengers to random locations for a reason.
The reason is that Mr. Burns has bought the buses and toxicated them or something along those lines and the residents of Springfield have to raise money to buy back the buses by, yes, you guessed it, turning their cars into cabs.
There are missions too, and most them are really easy. The last mission however, was a nightmare. This is because the mission is in aerial view mode and I have trouble driving in that mode.
The controls are alright I guess, although I sometimes ended up crashing the car, but it was worth it.
Overall, I think Simpsons: Road Rage is really good and I would definitely recommend it to all you Simpsons fans out there who are reading this review.
D'oh!!!!

Shadow The Hedgehog Review
Game: Shadow The Hedgehog
Console: PS2
I thought the game was really good. Only one problem though, too many storylines. I like the fact of how you get to choose how you want the game to end. There is a neutral way, a dark way and a hero way.
My favourite levels are Cryptic Castle, Iron Jungle and Circus Park while my favourite boss fight was Egg Dealer. I also liked the levels Mad Matrix and Prison Island. My least favourite level is Sky Troops because it is obviously the most annoying. I've died so many times in that level that I've actually lost count. I also hate the levels Glyphic Canyon, Lava Shelter and Cosmic Fall for certain reasons that I can't be bothered explaining. I think the levels Digital Circuit, Westopolis, The Doom and Lost Impact are ok.
I hate the Egg Breaker boss fight, however, there is an exception to this. The exception is the version of the boss fight where Omega is your teammate. This version of the Egg Breaker boss fight is so fun and really easy to play, whereas, other versions of this fight are really annoying.
Overall, this game is really good, and even though I haven't completed it yet, I have decided to rate this game 5 stars and I would definitely recommend it to friends. Honestly, Shadow the Hedgehog may be annoying, but it's also really good. Trust me guys, I love this game and I'm sure you will too.
Word of advice, if you get to Central City, don't ask me for help, because I haven't completed that level yet.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Video Game Review
I've been a fan of SpongeBob since I was six yrs old and I loved all the episodes. I preferred the classic episodes but I liked the modern episodes too. I also loved the specials, my favourite being SpongeBob Vs The Big One.
Then came the day I finally watched the movie for the first time. I loved every minute of it. I danced to and sang all the songs and I laughed at the funny bits. Those gas men were annoying, Dennis was alright, Plankton was plain evil and Mindy was just the best.
But let's get to the topic. The game that was based on the film itself. You get to play as SpongeBob or Patrick and at rare times, both of them and join them on a journey to Shell City where King Neptune's Crown is. I loved how both SpongeBob and Patrick had their own set of attacks with my favourite as SpongeBob being the Sonic Wave Guitar and as Patrick being the throw move.
The game's plot matches the movie's storyline perfectly and the graphics are perfect quality. The bosses are all great(except for King Neptune ha ha ha), the level designs are perfect and I love how there are separate challenges in each level other than the main challenge itself. Examples of extra challenges include Sonic Wave, Sponge Ball, Floating Block and Combat Arena among others but my favourite part of the game was finding Treasure Chests because finding those equal finding extras and finding extras is so much fun.
Overall, the game was just as good as the film was, I would rate it 9/10 and if I was asked if I would recommend it to all you SpongeBob fans out there who are reading this post, then I would say YES and NO.
YES because it's a pretty good game and just so we're clear, I'd advise you watch the film before playing the game. I watched the film first and that's how I completed the game right.
NO because even though the game was good, it has a few minor flaws that make it really hard at times and might stress you out. If the game gets hard, take a break, watch a tutorial video, breathe or get a snack or something, then go back to playing the game.

Sonic Unleashed Review
Lately, I have been playing Sonic Unleashed on my PS2. It's really good and everything. I got used to the day stage controls of Sonic the Hedgehog quite quickly but the night stage controls of Sonic the Werehog took me a while to get used to and get the hang and basis of. I like playing the day stages the most and the best level had to be the Spagonia Rooftop Run day stage.
The Continents - The most annoying continent is Eggmanland while the least annoying is Apotos. I also liked Mazuri and Shamar but my favourite was Spagonia. I didn't like Adabat that much and I thought Holoska was ok. Chun-Nan was alright.
The Bosses - My favourite boss fight to play had to be the Dark Gaia Phoenix. I also liked the Egg Beetle and the Egg Devil Ray. I didn't like any of the other bosses that I have already played against.
I may not have completed this game yet but I am rating it 8/10 and I would recommend it to friends but a little word of caution, do not come crying to me if you get stuck on Eggmanland because if you do, I will whack you with a stick(only kidding).

Crash Of The Titans
"Never play Crash Of The Titans, it's the worst Crash Bandicoot game."
That's what I heard, until I played it.
I have not completed the game yet. I'm only on episode 17: Adolt Edumacation but I just couldn't wait until I completed the full game to review it so I'm reviewing it now.
The character designs: I don't like the way the characters have been redesigned except for Nina. Nina is the only good redesigned character. Tiny Tiger's voice has changed from his usual gibberish English to some kind of American/German accent which sucks. I also don't like the way Tiny is actually wearing what looks like golf clothes and shoes instead of his usual trainers and loincloth skirt thing. Doctor Cortex's redesign is ok except for the fact that he now has a belt on his lab coat whereas in previous games he didn't. I hate the redesigns of Aku Aku and Uka Uka the most but mostly Aku Aku. I guess the redesigns of Coco and Crash are ok and as for Crunch's redesign, I guess it's ok. I totally like N.Gin's redesign because it looks like he's made of metal which is awesome.
Overall, I'd rate this game 7/10 and if I was asked if I would recommend it to friends then my answer is no, I would not. Also, the game is really good so far and I hope to complete it one day.
