VU Games finishes grooming its latest Bandicoot adventure, which is due in stores September 28.
Crash Twinsanity, the latest installment in VU Games' long-running series, has gone gold. When the game ships for the Xbox and PlayStation 2 on September 28, it will join this year's rich crop of high-profile platformers, including Sly 2: Band of Thieves (due September 14) and Jak 3 (due November 16).
Developed by Traveller's Tales, the game once again follows Crash Bandicoot as he gets into trouble. This time around, though, the loopy marsupial joins forces with his former nemesis, Dr. Cortex to defeat a threat to their home islands from a group of maniacal twins. In parts of the game, the two characters will be able to be controlled as one, with Crash using the Dr. as a giant club.

"We actually wanted to work on licensed properties first - to build up Bioware's reputation, to build up our knowledge of our craft, and to build up our team's experience," Muzyka explained to us at the show. "Now that we've got some experience and have a bit more of an idea of what we're doing, we want to make some new IPs, and Jade Empire is the first."
"Dragon Age is another one, and we have a third IP in development as well," he revealed. "All of these are Bioware-created, Bioware-owned IPs - brand new worlds that we've created. So, we're pretty excited."
Muzyka also revealed that a PC version of Jade Empire remains a possibility - but insisted that Bioware is focused on the Xbox version for now.
"On Knights of the Old Republic we always planned to do a PC version. This time, we might do one, but it's something we have to talk to Microsoft about," he explained. "They're not averse to the idea, but really, it's Xbox exclusive - it's really been designed for the Xbox."
Set in a fantasy world themed after medieval oriental legends, Jade Empire features a combination of Bioware's in-depth storytelling and character development with a rich real-time combat system which allows the player to learn and use a wide range of different fighting styles.
