I think it was the right direction for the crash series. None of the games since have ever really matched how great the character of the game itself was. But the way it was was purely because Ratchet and Clank stole the devs thunder, and they had to rework everything. If they started off trying to make this kind of crash game, Twinsanity would probably definitively be considered the best game in the series for some time. Hell to some people it still is despite being a fucking mess. I love the game to peices and it saddens me that nothing has ever been able to capture how exactly it felt ever since.
What really sucks is, you probably couldn't remake it with all the cut stuff even if Activision wanted to. Sure a few devs are around, but how are you going to do the music? Spiralmouth has been gone for years, the new osts being acapella is non negotiable.
