    The game is really fun. Like REALLY fun. It's addictive. It's compact. It's tight. Didn't expect any less from the same dev team behind Crash 4. Following this game for nearly 2 years, and finally seeing it out in the open is a heartwarming thing.

    The game is really fun. Like REALLY fun. It's addictive. It's compact. It's tight. Didn't expect any less from the same dev team behind Crash 4. Following this game for nearly 2 years, and finally seeing it out in the open is a heartwarming thing.

    The game, while only having one core mode for now, is still kept fresh with the wide selection of maps and the 8 unique heroes in the base game (with 2 more coming with Ripper Roo and N.Gin in Season 1). One of the maps, Surreal Summit, is based on my favourite Crash 4 level, Off-Balance. So no surprise that I adore this map in particular. Even with a rubberbandy online, you are still able to play and successfully play your role without much issues. That is a step-up from Nitro-Fueled's neglected Online. While the game has a Battlepass, it still paves way for good cosmetics both on the free and premium sides. Solid base roster. Solid game. Solid all around. It may not be the next Fortnite, Apex, COD, Overwatch, or Fall Guys, but it has a really solid foundation as a Multiplayer Crash game that'll just get better with time hopefully.

    My only negatives is that I wish that private matches also rewarded XP for leveling up heroes and the battlepass, as relying on matchmaking only is a bit lacking and tedious in that aspect. Maybe halfing the rewards for that might be what balances it out. For me, in order for it to be a 9 or 10, it needs about 3-4 more maps, and 4-6 new heroes for it to REALLY be worthwhile. And game modes. More modes are important for this kind of game. Introduce permanent new modes that are fun and spicy, and you have yourself a game that people can re-review basically and give it an 8, 9 or 10 even. Well-made game. Just needs a bit more to be chewed fully. Not saying it's unfinished or unbaked like other live service games that have far less content, but there is something special here with the brand new foundation for Crash Bandicoot Multiplayer. It doesn't need to be Bash remake. It just needs to be fun, unique, enticing, and passionate. That's how I can explain what the developer, TFB, are.

    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!

It’s a unique take on the Crash Bandicoot franchise, and unlike other spin off games such as Crash Team Racing, all the characters in this game have their own moves and abilities, which adds a substantial amount of replayability to the game. I know it looks simple from the surface, but the game is far more interesting than just collecting fruits. There are also the relics, which are used to activate certain relics stations around the map that spice up the gameplay, and each map has its unique stations with all sorts of abilities and power ups. I haven’t even talked about the gem pads, which when successfully activated will grant a bonus amount of Wumpas each time you deposit some at your team’s bank for a certain amount of time. This makes capturing gem pads chaotic and thrilling because everyone wants that juicy bonus. Last thing is that if you don’t like collecting, then you can always fight and stop the red team from depositing Wumpas, or defend your own bank from blockers of the red team. All these elements together create split second decisions, like: Do you focus on collecting? Or securing gem pads? Or getting rid of the blocker who’s on your team’s bank? Or blocking the red team at their bank because they’re so close to winning? And much more. The matches are fast paced, and they can can range from 2 minutes and upwards to 8 minutes. This makes every match feels different enough, and it also makes it accessible to someone like me who isn’t skilled enough at online games especially ones where you have to play for +15 minutes such as battle royale games. I’m already 13 hours in, and I feel like I can go for more than double that time ✅ Expand

    Crash Team Rumble is genuinely one of the funnest games I've ever played. I already have over 60 hours on it because it's so addicting. The core aspect of the PvP in this game is very satisfying.

Also not sure why they have their quickplay listed as "competitive" when no other game would label it like that. Expand

    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.

    It's a simple, but fun experience delivered in small bites between matches. While on a surface level it may seen too simplistic the gameplay itself it's addicting, and hooks you up constantly wanting more and more.
    My only complaints as of now it's some of the built into characters challenges being far too unrealistic (like blocking 300 wumpas / scoring without being hit once a total of 7 times) and the lack of repeat characters / roles restrictions (fighting against 3 blockers while someone else it's backdooring scoring it's quite painful).
    For the people divided about it - give it a try! Seriously. The game it's only half the price of a standard release (29.99) and it's definitely gonna have some serious support similar to Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled (given how they already announced a roadmap showing new characters, maps and game modes).
    For the people review bombing this game without even giving it a try yourself, solely based off pure childhood nostalgia about Crash Bash or against the new Art Style of crash Bandicoot, i have 2 things to say:
    1) Grow up. The vast majority of y'all are adults who first experienced Crash Bandicoot in the nineties going mental on socials over something that it's either not your cup of tea or solely because it isn't a copy paste of your past nostalgic memories (like remasters / remakes) .
    2) Crash Bash wasn't, and isn't nowhere near as good as your child self remembers. Seriously, try to play it now in 2023, try to fully complete the game (200%) by yourself and come back here to tell me how you feel about it.
    Huge congratulations to the developer team! You can feel and tell they love and care about Crash Bandicoot and really put their time and effort into it, from Crash Bandicoot players to Crash Bandicoot players. This game reeks potential, and i am all here for the ride.

    The 30$ price tag might be weird, but in my opinion you are getting your money's worth of enjoyment, and you can always catch this one on sale if the price still doesn't appeal to you.

    The game is not perfect though, not a lot of content at launch, and lack of a story mode and other modes make the game drop 1 score. Also, the game is expensive for what it is, and the marketing is not convencing a lot of people. Maybe, that's the reason the game has mixed feelings for a lot of people that didn't play the game yet. I know it's a live service game, but I think they should've released more content at launch.

    But these problems can be solved easily by updating the game, with new seasons and etc...

    Crash Team Rumble is surprising a nice and fun game! I've played it around 5 hours and I already love this game. The game contains a strategy that must be worked out by everyone. This is the only way to win games. I loved how TFB gave more moves to the not only main characters, especially for Ripper Roo, Dingodile, Catbat, Tawna, etc. The gameplay is equal to that of Crash 4 if not improved.

    How does the gameplay work?
    You have to collect 2000 Wumpa fruits and bring them to your base. Said like that, it sounds trivial... But in game it is much more fun. You not only have to take care of your Wumpa, but also focus for opponents and power-ups that are scattered around the map. Each map changes features, including hazards, size and height, and they are well detailed. There are three roles, currently, in the game: Scorer, Blocker and Booster. Each character has its own role and you have to make the best use of it, Crash Team Rumble does not only pay you back through victories! The problem with this title is that it has little content, and contains only one mode to play with... Repetitive yes, but a lot of fun! It is still too early to give it an actual rating currently, but what I am writing is my experience in front of this title. If we want this game to last long, we need to be the first ones to support it instead of criticizing it without even knowing it well.

    In any case, keep up the good work TFB!

    Para concluir: Crash Team Rumble tiene un enorme potencial y es sumamente divertido en su base, que seguramente se pondrá cada vez mejor en el futuro, tal vez no te ofrezca mucho por el momento en día 1, pero seguramente habrá mas para el rato, es cuestión de que toys for bob administre bien su desarrollo y contenido, y que activision no haga alguna babosada al juego que lo termine perjudicando.

    A competitive version of Crash Bandicoot’s platform template is a great idea and realised with style, but it really is just the same activity on repeat, for now. [Issue#30, p.89]

    Crash Team Rumble is an experiment with the Crash Bandicoot brand that went very well. No match is the same as the last, and there is a prevailing sense of fun. Not to mention, there are plenty of incentives to keep you playing. However, as a fully multiplayer title, only time will tell if it will last or be forgotten.

    Crash Team Rumble feels a bigger-than-average swing for the series, but one that — at this point — ultimately misses. That said, there are updates on the horizon, but I’m worried that it won’t be able to break away from more unbalanced characters and a general lack of content. Maybe Crash Team Rumble will end up like Fall Guys or Rocket League and go free-to-play at some point, but as it stands I’d have to recommend waiting for the game to bulk up a little before diving in.
