Incredible Crisis
Description official description
Grandmother Hatsu has a birthday. She wants it to be a special day, and is eagerly waiting for her presents. However, father Taneo, mother Etsuko, son Tsuyoshi and daughter Ririka have all forgotten about that. They have to buy last-minute presents for the grandmother, and make it home in time for the party. Sounds simple? Not quite: each member of this completely ordinary, working-class family is delayed by inexplicable obstacles, which involve, among others, bank robbers, UFOs, miniaturization, and a giant teddy bear who is out to demolish Tokyo.
Incredible Crisis is entirely composed out of 24 predominantly action-oriented mini-games. Most of them are unique, though a few are repeated throughout the course of the game. Among these mini-games are synchronized dancing, various driving sequences, simple obstacle-dodging, shooting, and others. A few mini-games deviate from the action style, e.g. a quiz or a puzzle that involves calculating an item's weight.
The mini-games must be first completed in a specific order, tied by an overarching story told by CG animated cutscenes. Afterwards, they can be accessed directly from the main menu.

fun as hell game! a must try! in the ultimate of wackyness!
The Good
almost everything, the graphics made it look weird like a japanese cartoon, which in this case is a good thing, all of the mini-games (yes even the ones that seem too hard) were all fun as hell, some of them could even be done more than once and still be enjoyed, the sound and music fit the game oh so perfectly, i now have a favorite main theme to a game, the difficult was fun and challeging while some games seemed to hard at times it was a good thing, and they wern't impossible either, overall great game.
The Bad
well.......the length of the game was a little on the short side, i was surprised at how i beat the game withing just 18 hours or so (and normaly i never beat a game) while i will amite that the shortness was good, it was also bad, unlike other games with mini-games in them these interested me so much that i was ready for the next, but then all of a sudden the game ends with the ending and then say's the death words "to be continued" how will it, there most likely won't be a sequel to it here in the U.S. maybe japan, but not here, still a great game though.
The Bottom Line
well.......if you like wacky games, or shall i say wacky mini-games, then you will love the living hell out of this game, however if you don't, what ever you do don't touch this game with even your mind.
