    Just glad I kept the receipt, even brought a Nintendo DS just so I could play the latest crash game. This is by far the worst crash game I've ever played, just lifeless. Thank you vivendo, Dimps and Radical entertainment, you've killed the Bandicoot we all know and love. BRING BACK NAUGHTY DOG!

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

    Crash did not leave with a bang. Crash has really gone down hill since he isn't developped by Naughty Dog.

    Worst game on the DS. I don't know what went on. The graphics and sounds are so bad. I wish Sony and Naughty Dog made Crash again. All of the developers after that made Crash terrible. Now Activision has the rights to the series. What's next, Call of Crash? No no no no no no

    This is one of the worst games ever made! Broken mini games, awful graphics and art style, and annoying sounds. This game makes some very bad games look golden...or at least silver. I honestly tried this game, hoping that the bad reviews were just overly exaggerating how bad it is like a lot of critical reviews. But I was sadly wrong, and this turned out to be one of the worst video games,This is one of the worst games ever made! Broken mini games, awful graphics and art style, and annoying sounds.

    Not impressed at all. I do not like the mechanic popping up words into player's faces. Also the story is bland. But what about the minigames...they range from awful to mediocre.

    This game is a disappointment, The story doesn't make any sense, the gameplay is boring, and the characters don't look like themselves. This game may not have anything to do with the Crash Bandicoot series, but at least it's better than the atrocity that is Wrath of Cortex.

    The graphics are so bad and overused and the minigames are very bad to play the controls feel so slippery. I do like the character selection but overall this game is crash trash. Hah get it cause it rhymes....I better shut up.

    El peor Crash Bandicoot jamas hecho. Los controles tactiles no responden bien, los minijuegos son aburridos y los graficos son muy malos. Lo unico que lo salva un poco es el multijugador y la banda sonora.

    Este juego es una basura. 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 ofEste juego es una basura.

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

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

    Unless you're a die-hard fan of the series, you may want to wait for the bandicoot's next offering. [Nov. 2006, p.88]

    Not actually broken in any way, it's just an oddly vacuous and simplistic take on the poisoned ground previously laid down by Hudson. [Nov 2006, p.69]
  3. Although it lets you wander around a game board and participate in various multiplayer challenges as your favorite Crash Bandicoot characters, the game ultimately crashes and burns because the majority of its minigames are lifeless and uninteresting.
