    Crash Team Rumble is a fun and unique 4v4 competitive game that is able to create something new and ludicrously fun out of the existing franchise mechanics. While I've played a ton and have not tired of the game, there is only one real mode, which might impact the game's longevity. Still, the game is deceptively deep and strategic, with teams needing to think and react quickly to be successful. Regardless of how long it's around, right now Crash Team Rumble is great for a blast of gaming fun for the whole family.

    While I feel the live service elements are out of place, I ultimately can't hate the final product. Crash Team Rumble is a blast, one that's easy to learn and hard to put down.

    Crash Team Rumble is a surprisingly great multiplayer. The simple premise is compelling and fosters a more-ish cycle. Each of the characters is well-designed and gives gameplay options that allow you to strategize during bouts. The lack of single-player content, multiplayer modes, and the inclusion of a battle pass is disappointing, however, the core gameplay is a ton of fun and is definitely worth a spin.

    Crash Team Rumble is fun and undeniably based on a good idea, since it tries to translate the classic platforming of Crash Bandicoot into a whole new multiplayer experience, however the absence of other modes and heroes, and mostly a lot of balance issues, deeply affect the outcome of the experiment crafted by Toys for Bob.

    Those that give Crash Team Rumble a chance will find fun, fast-paced platforming gameplay that rewards coordinated teamwork but is still perfectly entertaining with randoms. Toys for Bob has proven that the Crash Bandicoot-style of platforming is right at home in the online multiplayer space, but the game's longevity is a legitimate concern. Anyone interested in the game should jump in now while the community is most active, but those that don't want to risk spending $30 on a game that may fall off in a few months may be better served waiting to see if Crash Team Rumble gets a free-to-play re-release down the road.

    Crash Team Rumble is an accessible and terrifically enjoyable online platforming battler, and as more seasons of content are released, it could become a pretty essential multiplayer game. In the here and now, though, it's a bit too limited and features too little content to be anything more than throwaway fun.

    If you love Crash Bandicoot and you've been waiting years for what once was Wumpa League, there's probably just enough there to convince you that this is a good game. But it's not. It's a bad game. They shouldn't have made Crash Bandicoot into this thing, and deep down all of us know it.

    It may have one mode, but they show us some promising contents that will come in the upcoming weekends during the season!
    This game makes me more addictive than any Crash Bandicoot game I’ve played in the past!
    And this game might be the one that will bring me some excitement!
    Firstly, the characters. Each character has their own abilities, strengths and weakness and what’re they good for which is good because that will help us how to make a strategic plan for the victory.
    Secondly, the power ups. Those power ups will support us in a very rocky situations
    This game deserves 10/10!    … Expand

You can focus on getting wumpa fruits, buffs for your team or blocking the enemy team from progressing.

    For that you get 8 mostly completely different characters with unique skill sets that fall under 3 roles Scorer, Blocker and Booster. And even though these roles excel at their respective jobs, they can and should be used as all rounders if needed.

    This makes Crash Team Rumble to one of the best multiplayer games when it comes to moment to moment gameplay and spontaneous strategy that I have ever played. If not even the best. And it makes every match intense and vastly different.

    The balancing and many ways for a losing team to recover thanks to different gem platforms, that gives your team an advantage, makes this also one of the most fair multiplayer games I have played.

    The fun and varied customization options, the multiple but still easy to understand progression and the diverse and greatly designed maps also contribute a lot to the replayability and fun of this game.

    But as with every game, Rumble isn't perfect. The AI players that fill in for leavers or when a team isn't full at the beginning of a game, are mostly worthless. Especially when a enemy team knows how to focus them. And the live service model makes this game at launch a little bare bones, when it comes to content. A few more playable characters and at least one different standard mode would have been greatly appreciated.

    But when I experience the base game we got at launch, I am quite confident, that the content, that we already know will be added to the game in the following months (hopefully even years) will be absolutely worth the wait.
    Until then I will sink even more hours into the game we already have. Which will not be hard, because it is already such a fantastic experience.    … Expand

The game does feel extremely unbalanced with several characters being able to stun you to the point you can't do anything in return or have no way to really combat them. The goal is to get the fruit to your goal and fill up a gauge. There are multiple ways to get bonuses and fill it up faster, and several different classes for capturing, defending, etc. The game is a lot of fun for a roughly two hours and then you realize it's just the same thing again and again and quickly becomes less charming without content to back it up. Overall the biggest crash fans will love it, but everyone else? I recommend passing on.… Expand

    No es un mal juego, pero si ejecución es una basura, un juego con servicio es lo que no merecía crash bandicoot.
