These Video Game Character Redesigns SUCK!

4. Tiny Tiger - Crash Of The Titans

These redesigns suck

Crash of the Titans is a title that is absolutely RIFE with terrible character redesigns, from turning Crash himself into a tattoo sporting fool who sports John Cena level jean shorts making him look like a wumpin' idiot, all the way to Aku Aku who stopped looking like Plank from Ed Edd and Eddy's cool cousin and more like a monkey for some reason.

I tell yah, the only thing that was still wooden was the vocal performance *piped in crowd laughter* Yes I know, I know amazing joke, get out of my house.

Still, the cream of the crap has to be the one and only Tiny Tiger, who despite hitting the scene like a freight train with his iconic loincloth design, for some reason now rocks full army gear, has an increased lexicon, and speaks with all the grace and "what the hell did he say" tones of Mike Tyson.

Because that's a relevant celeb to base this character on right? Why not dust of the obsolete actor book and get Andy Dick on board as well. It truly proved that a tiger can indeed change its stripes seeing as Tiny seemed to develop them over his time on hiatus.

If I'm being brutally honest I didn't actually know this was Tiny until he made an admittedly pretty funny joke about not being used in the previous game. Yet once I'd finished my microscopic chuckle I just sat there looking at what they'd done to him and only had one question in my mind.

Why? Why change him THIS much? This was like chucking everything at the wall to see what sticks, but the devs only following the first part of that line and just throwing everything at a wall then scraping what mess was left together.
