    I like the game, but unless you’re comfortable with the cost to take advantage of the multiplayer functionality – the entire point of the game – I can’t recommend it.

    Despite showing enormous potential, Crash Boom Bang! is hampered by dodgy controls and a testing user interface. It's disappointing because this could have been a great multiplayer game. [Christmas 2006, p.80]

    A distinct average and oddly passionless collection of touchscreen mini-games.

    Crash Boom Bang is a mess. There are too many unneeded features, not enough time was spent developing the important ones, and hundreds of small hiccups and issues make this game feel like it should have gone through more inspections at every level of design.

    A dull and poorly designed game. The mini-games are boring, you can't save in-game and you'll be waiting around a lot of the time. This is just a quickly rushed license title.

    It could have been an interesting title but the problems with control, weird gameplay style, terrible graphics and rigged, repetitive games just kill any joy that would be garnered from playing it.

    Games like this ought to be easy to pick up and play, but “Crash Boom Bang” is so confusing and unnecessarily complicated that it will make any player shut off the DS in frustration.

    Es una sólida propuesta party ya que es un género muerto, si bien entiendo las quejas de los fans de Crash a mi este me gustó mucho

    Multiplayer board game/minigame compendium that's a straight rip off of Mario Party.

Para empezar los gráficos son horribles, hay juegos que son muchos más vistosos en la consola que se ven mejor que esto. Después la historia es simplona, arruinaron los diseños, y lo peor de todo es que es un plagio de Mario party. A diferencia de crash of the Titans, y crash mind over mutant, este juego ni siquiera es bueno por sí mismo. A pesar de que crash of the Titans y crash mind over mutant hayan cambiado muchas cosas para la fórmula original de los crash, seguían siendo juegos disfrutables porque tenían otros apartados que estaban buenos a pesar de que no se sentían como un crash, porque como juegos independientes se podían disfrutar. En cambio, este juego no se puede disfrutar ni siquiera como juego independiente, ya que es un juego plagio de Mario party. Bajo mi punto de vista el peor crash de la historia… Expand

    Horrible. I loved ol' Crash back in the PS1 days, but the well has run dry on this franchise.
