"Crash Bash": Sony's Answer to "Mario Party"

Ever since the debut of Nintendo's "Mario Party", the multiplayer party genre is suddenly popular. Now the PlayStation's mascot, Crash, is jumping onto the bandwagon with "Crash Bash". It's the first game developed without Naughty Dog, who created Crash's first four games; instead, it's developed by Eurocom and Mark Cerny. For a first shot, Eurocom has done a great job with living up to Naughty Dog's legacy.

You can play as one of eight characters: Crash, Coco (Crash's sister), Dr. Neo Cortex (Crash's enemy), Dr. N. Brio (Cortex's rival), Tiny, Dingodile, and Koala Kong (Cortex's henchmen), and Kangorilla (a new character). There are also some secret characters, including Ripper Roo (a psychotic kangaroo in a straitjacket) and Penta Penguin.

There's a total of 28 different games to play. One example is a game where you ride on polar bears and joust each other while trying to avoid falling off of the slippery, swaying iceberg on which you're battling. In another, you bounce on pogo sticks and try to make the bricks of the platform you're bouncing on a solid color. There's even a game where you drive through a maze in a tank and blast each other with missiles and mines. Some games, though, are variants of classic games, such as air hockey, racing (although in this, you race in bumper cars rather than go-karts), and standard fighting, e.g. throwing TNT at each other and using your special 'power', etc.

The game allows for 1-4 players, and offers so much fun, you'll get addicted instantly. You'll definitely enjoy it!

First impression is good, but then the game gets BORING

I would not recommend this game. The only good thing about it is that it is a four player game. The game has good graphics, sound etc. but gets very boring after a while. The amount of games you can play are very limited and only entertaining for the first five or six days. After that the game is EXTREMELY boring. If you have played it somewhere and liked it, DON'T buy the game immediately until you've played it at least five or six times and still haven't gotten sick of it.

A step backward for Crash devotees

This game is not as fun or as involved as previous Crash games. If, after GTR, you expect a lot of 3D animation, and many scenes you will not get it with this game. So far (after 2 warp rooms or levels), it just seems to be variations of a few games but with ever increasing difficulty. I was sorely disappointed.

Not worth it

I enjoyed all the previous Crash Games, especially Crash Team Racing, so I decided to buy this one. I was dissapointed because I got bored of it very quickly. The games are the same old games but in 3D. The Crash characters are blended in well with the game but I just didn't enjoy it. The main good thing about this game is that four people can play at the same time; and they can choose from a large selection of about 24 games. The game isn't any good for one player to play.

I would recommend it, but only if there is somebody else to play with.

Crash has been bashed. What a terrible shame.

First things first. This game has a large amount of repetition. The games start out with a simple set of objectives from old arcade games. After you finsh the first set of games, you do the game again, but this time with a small new element thrown in. Without a dought, this gets boring quickly. To make it worse, the one player mode can be down right boring. There is absoulutly no backing force to keep you going. This might be part of the franchis's new develeper and owning company (it's Universal Studios for those of you who didn't know). It's sad that the preveous titles were instant classics and this one, with all its potential, could not follow through. What a terrible shame.

Very time consuming

crash bash is one of those games you could play with your friends when you have nothing to do. Although most levels are similar, you can never get tired of it. My favorite minigames are Pong and the Tank wars. If your not a huge fan of the crash series maybe you should wait a while to purchase this. But if your a big time crash fan and you enjoyed mario party this is a must have.

Crash, hust cant get enough of 'em!

Guarranted to be one of this years BlockBusters,Crash Bash is an all round age group. This game take it out at your freinds with Crash,Coco and the gang.With many different Mini-games. In case your dont know who Crash is, he is a Bandacoot ( a small rodent type animal) that trys to save the world from the Evil Dr.Cortex. This game will surelybe a great addition to your Crash Collection. If you've just heard about Crash,here are his other gamesby Naughtdog. Crash Bandacoot Crash Bandacoot2

Crash Bandacoot3 and crash racing!

Crash Bash is anti mod chip

Unforetunately I wasn't able to experience the boring repition of levels that my friends have complained about. MY particular problem was with the game even running, Sony has made sure this won't run on a PSX with a mod chip, even if you have purchased the game. People use mod chips for more than just piracy, some like to get advanced Japanese versions of games before they hit US stores, others contest their rights to make software backups. In either case new or backup this game detects the mod chip after booting and puts up a nice unfun stop message. I'd like to bash more than just Crash for this piece of anti-customer programming.

Disapointing for a Crash Game

For those of you who are looking for fun yet non-violent video games for your kids, there are none better than the Crash Bandicoot games. However, I'm not a fan of Crash Bash. I give it 3 stars only because there are parts that are enjoyable. And as a multi-player game, it can be a lot of fun. The problem is with the Adventure part of the game where you go against 3 other characters and gradually win your way to other levels. Instead of winning your way to other games, all you get when you go to a new level is one new game and harder versions of the previous levels' games. Also, when you don't win you get pelted with a "You FAIL" both visually and aurally. After losing many times in a row and you will lose because the games are tough, this doesn't do much for your self-esteem. If you're looking for a non-violent, multi-player game, this is a good choice. However, if you're looking for the something like the previous Crash games, then you're going to be disappointed.
