Description
Compilation of zany mini-games where the Tanamatsuri family faces absurd crisis situations, from lightning to alligators in the toilet. Created by Polygon Magic and Titus for Europe, Sony Computer Entertainment America for the USA, released in 2000 in the United States and in 2001 in Europe. About thirty mini-games with QTE and arcade sequences, humorous voice acting and a scripted progression. Western edition.
A true oddity, this collection of mini-games follows a Japanese family through a disastrous day in a string of absurd vignettes, set to a catchy jazzy soundtrack. Too strange for the mainstream, it went unnoticed. Its offbeat humor and unbridled inventiveness make it a party game to rediscover for anyone who loves unapologetic nonsense.
Is Incredible Crisis still worth playing in 2026?
A wild minigame compilation from Polygon Magic, Incredible Crisis follows a Japanese family through an absurd day strewn with catastrophes, across varied trials mixing reflexes, rhythm and timing. The offbeat humour, the zany staging and the freshness of the situations make for a unique, hilarious experience. The uneven minigames and a short length temper the whole. A delightful curiosity to recommend for fans of atypical party games and eccentric Japanese humour.
