The Incredible Crash Dummies

"A Ton of Mini-Games Rolled Into One Package"

When you think Crash Test Dummies, you think cars, safety, and seatbelts. Well in the days when everyone gets there own game, who could leave these destructive two-some out? Crash Test Dummies is a game where you compete in a variety of mini-games to earn money. These games include falling off a building (and crashing into as many things as possible along the way, skiing, driving a car towards a wall, and stopping lit bombs. Its all in good fun, but it can be really difficult too. It gives you a limited number a lives, and it doesn't adopt any password or save system. When you run out of lives, you need to start all over again. Another bad thing is the fact that the game is very vague about game instructions. You don't know what to do until you've played it through once or twice. Once you figure it out, its really fun. The Incredible Crash Test Dummies is an excellent niche title. It does have its flaws, but the game remains fun.
