If you ask a casual gamer if Crash Twinsanity exists on PSP, they might confidently say "Yes." They are confusing it with Crash Tag Team Racing (CTTR).

Ironically, the best way to play Twinsanity on a PSP-like screen is to stream it.

If you meant a different portable version or the Crash Bandicoot Purple / Ripto’s Rampage GBA games, please clarify. But for the purpose of this review, I’ll assume you’re asking about playing the PS2 classic on PSP.
