Twisted: The Game Show

"A Great Party Game!"

Ok, first, if you own a 3do, BUY THIS GAME. This is a GREAT party game, if not the best ever made. Second, this game is no fun without at least 1 MORE freind to play with. If you are a very social gamer, you will get a lot more fun out of this game (unless you like playing 2 player games with yourself). Although it does have some trivia in it (which can be turned off or on with adjusted difficulty) it is not really a trivia game. The main idea is this: You are on the game show, Twisted. Your host, Twink Fizzdale introduces 6 contestants, and then you (plus up to 4 friends) can select from these characters (if you don't think uncle fez is hilarious, you probaly won't like the humor in this game). You are in the palindrome (har har) and your contestant must roll the cyberdie (3 dice each with the numbers 0, 1, and 2) and try to move up the helix. There are 90 squares that the helix is made up of, and the first one to reach the top wins. The helix has 4 kinds of squares on it; Challenge squares (what most of the helix is made of), Bonus squares (Roll Again), Bozo Squares (Lose a turn), and the Wheel of Torture (you will find out about this when you land on it). Each of the characters has thier own dialouge, and it is very rarely repetitive. The voice acting is great, and the grahics are good (At least for a 3DO game). The replay value is plenty, since you'll being playing it over and over again (each game takes about half an hour to 2 hours depending on the amount of players). Overall this game is definitely what the title states, Twisted, but plenty of fun too.
