A big congratulations to all involved in this masterpiece production!

Hey Charles! Crash 4 is fun but actually quite challenging, What with the new features in the game I guess it does come to that. it's no surprise it's doing well that it's very good game with a popular character. Btw got a question, N. Gin look's quite pugy. But I noticed he has holes at the bottom of his coat for his legs. Is his body smaller or even more cybernetic inside?

It's great to see Crash going toe to toe with Mario once again, like it should!
I sadly don't have a console that can play this game, so I can only look at gameplays online, the story seems kind of rushed, the characters are not their classic selves, being comedic and riiculous like in the later games (from Crash Twinsanity onward), and a lot of little things seem to contradict the previous games.
Anyway, are you still planning on "reviewing" the designs?

Hazman regarding N Gin's body... ??? What do you think? :)

Geb - Yes I do plan on publishing a review. I will say that technically and artistically the game is fantastic. Eye candy all over the place plus superb production quality. No surprise it's number one! :)

Charles Z: I like to think his body is actually more cybernetic, Evidence of him doing the robot dance in his victory animation in CTR, His robotic voice and the bolts in his coat. It would be a neat quirk for him to move more robotic and make robotic sounds when moves and maybe gets glitches for some humor. Kinda like when he gets mad his missile goes off. But that's just what I think.

Hazman what you think about N Gin is pretty good! I can see him set up that way. Maybe his body encasement is what keeps him alive. Maybe he's vulnerable and it protects him like like a turtle shell. Keeps his organs going like an iron lung.

Charles Z: I noticed he does have a shell like exterior, I do like the iron lung idea! With the bolt holes being his exhaust point or something.

Maybe it's a fuel tank.
