Incredible Crisis

Incredible Crisis, known in Japan as Tondemo Crisis! とんでもクライシス! is a video game developed by Polygon Magic and published by Tokuma Shoten for the PlayStation in June of 1999. It was then translated and released in English by Titus in November 2000 in North America and Europe. An arcade version was also released in Japan by Tecmo.

Incredible Crisis follows four members of a working-class Japanese family on their bizarre adventures home from their daily routines to get birthday presents for the family's grandmother. The game consists of several action-oriented minigames strung together and book-ended with pre-rendered cutscenes. The game was designed and scripted by Kenichi Nishi and features music from the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.

Why it Rocks

 * 1) The game is basically a dream for anybody who enjoys how obscure the Japanese can really get. This game has it all: Strange moments, quirky Japanese humor, and many, many others.
 * 2) Extremely funny storyline.
 * 3) Good fitting graphics.
 * 4) 24 (26 in the Japanese version) Minigames that test your concentration deeply.
 * 5) Moments like Taneo being chased by a giant Globe and a giant pink Teddy Bear attacking Tokyo overcome their welcome.
 * 6) Great and funky music from the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Most of the minigames will turn your fingers into mush easily.
 * 2) The difficulty of the games can be a little bit too high for beginners.
