    this game has some of the most worst graphics of all time. this is a party game yet littered with micro transactions so you can get ahead of the family

    I don't get the low-ish score for the game.. I really don't... its a simple fun party game with Crash Bandicoot characters, it isn't trying to be most elaborate thing in the world.. people need to realize this.

    The characters look like they are on drugs. There is only one new party game per world. All the other ones are cope and paste. You can tell that Naughty Dog did not make a game.

    The 5th crash game and final playstation exclusive crash game. It takes the the crash 3 graphics and slightly optimizes them. The gameplay is a load of warp rooms full of minigames. It has a lot reused content throughout. I had a very boring time getting 200%. With all of the reused content its already repetitive, but you have to play every single one 3 times to get the trophy.

Its really annoying. It also has one of the worst stories in a crash game of all time. But i have to give it to crash bash, its good fun and you can get an hour or so of sheer enjoyment, and I also find it as a game you can have nostalgia for and just relax while you play.… Expand

    Un juego de lo más curioso y diferente a lo que acostumbró siempre Crash. El juego tiene buenas ideas y en su mayoría es bastante divertido, pero a veces peca de repetitivo, y hay algunos mini juegos que no son tan divertidos, por lo que al tener que jugarlos luego tantas veces la experiencia se vuelve molesta. Es mucho más disfrutable jugarlo acompañado.
    Nota final: 7.

    It's really fun to play with my best friend, the mini games are all creative and the story mode is really long

    The game consists of only mini-games and they are all repetitive. Boss battles aren't bad. If you are a fan of mini games, you can have a look.

    Crash Bash is a party video game in which players compete in a series of mini-games using characters from the Crash Bandicoot games. In all honesty this is almost the very definition of mediocre. None of the mini-games are awful, but none of them are particularly memorable either, and both the Mario Party and Wario Ware series of games do the same thing much better.

    Crash Bash is a fantastic game, a game meant to be played with someone with you, or against you. The challenges are awesome, this game really made my childhood a better time, it is beautiful, challenging, addictive. Some challenges are maybe to challenging but all in all this game is one of the best games I've ever played, and the co-op mode made this game perfect.

    I know there's a people who want a remake of crash bash but I have to say no half of the minigames are locked if you want to unlock them you need to complete the most boring single player in any game...you need to win each minigame three times just to earn one trophy and you'll repeat the same minigames over and over with just minor differences and if you want to earn gems or crystals youI know there's a people who want a remake of crash bash but I have to say no half of the minigames are locked if you want to unlock them you need to complete the most boring single player in any game...you need to win each minigame three times just to earn one trophy and you'll repeat the same minigames over and over with just minor differences and if you want to earn gems or crystals you have to replay the same minigames with unfair difficulty. It's one of the most repetitive games I have ever played it's not even fun with friends I say crash of the titans coop mode is more enjoyable with friends than crash bash I was going to give it a 4 but because it had a great soundtrack it gets a 5… Expand

    Not good. Strange controls, repetitive mini games and a general lack of understanding in the party game genre. The Naughty Dog era of crash games didn´t end well.

    Crash Bash is the only party game that got as much action in my childhood as Mario Party. In many ways several of the games were more rewarding than the Mario Party mini games.

    Juego muy entretenido para jugar con amigos en el modo historia o simplemente para unas partidas casuales, buenos jefes en el modo historia, unos cuantos personajes y gráficos de buena calidad.

    Este juego es muy divertido en multijugador y tengo que admitir que el modo aventura para dos jugadores es muy original. El modo para un jugador también esta bien pero se vuelve bastante repetitivo y encima frustrante en muchos minijuegos.

    Un juego espectacular, niveles muy variados, incluso difíciles, ni hablar de los niveles que desbloqueas cuando te acabas el juego, son buenos, pero mega difíciles jajaja

    Absolutely amazing, and brings back many great memories. However Some of the stages that turn the odds against you really show a lack of creativity in my opinion. Instead of coming up with newer ways to test your skill, the game instead just handicaps you. That is the only flaw I find in this game.

    crash bash its good game if you play if with your friend . if you play alone its not so fun
    if crash bash remake its good but it shouldn't be one game. it should be online multiplayer of some game.

    Not much to the game, just a bunch of family-friendly mini games. But each of the mini games was BRILLIANT.

    La verdad es que este Crash es bastante entretenido, más aún si juegas con amigos. Es simple, es fácil y eso lo hace divertido. Un buen juego para fans de Crash.

    Crash Bash was ok, not what everyone expected from the fifth game in Bandicoot universe, however it took some time to kill. Competitive game with well-known characters had some interesting levels. Some of the mini games were original however after the third time beating the same level but with trickier opponents simply became boring.

    9.1 - Great party game. Seriously underrated and the ratings it gets make absolutely no sense. Such a fun game with memorable characters and stages, along with a story mode with challenging levels. So much content here, and it is definitely among the top party games.

    Crash Bash is probably the last good spin-off to the Crash Bandicoot series. Even though the game was developed by a different studio, the characters stay true to themselves and you simply can't avoid finding a certain type of minigame that worth turning on your Ps1.

    The problem here is that there are better, more original and inventive party games out there; Crash Bash fails to do anything to put itself ahead of Nintendo's "Mario Party" series, or even match it.

    I, for one, will be giving multiple copies of Crash Bash and multi-taps to family and friends this holiday, and that alone should speak miles on just how addictive and fun this game can be in a multiplayer environment.

    It's not original and it's not deep, but it's packed with tons of silly games and it's a social magnet amongst the geek elite.
