I think this game is super fun! A unique idea that I think works very well as an online team game. I was thinking it was going to be something like Smash Bros., and wasn't expecting a sports-like scoring game, but I think I prefer it that way. It's original! I thought I was just going to wrap up playing after 100% completion, but I've found myself still finding it very enjoyable!
Not only that, but it's really cool to see an online team game that isn't a shooter. I can't name many others at the top of my head.
Though I'm rating it four stars, I can't really think of anything else it could add to it to make it better. As a platforming fighting game, it works and it's great, but I guess it's just locked at that.
It's fun to control, all the characters quite balanced, and its sense of humour and tendency to not take itself too seriously a lot of the time had me laughing my head off playing at times! All the maps provide something fun and unique too. With stuff like the relic stations giving you different abilities, the starting locations and banks being either super close together or very far apart, and even there being scalability and difficulty ratings for each map, games can be super chaotic but also require lots of strategy and teamwork to win. I gotta love the dynamic music when you boost your team, too!
My only little complaint though is that you need PlayStation Plus to play it, even for the practice with bots mode. But if you're getting this game, you're going to have PS Plus anyway so it doesn't matter too much. What would be really cool to see would be a single or multiplayer story mode, though, that features all the characters! Plus, it's honestly kind of hard to find players in matchmaking, so maybe that would be good to include for newcomers who would then perhaps try out the online mode.
This game does have "fear of missing out" elements though, with a battlepass, and hopefully they'll bring some items back sometime in the future. I started playing in the middle of season 3 so there is a bit I missed out on. But it's really just a couple of character skins, profile banners and performance songs though, and I got over it quickly. I can at least praise this game for not having an item shop and don't plan one any time soon.
Anyway, I'm really enjoying the regular updates and hoping the game will have lots more to come. The Spyro characters are such a fun addition and I hope they add more of them too! Crash and Spyro crossovers are perfect. I personally play as Crash and Elora the most, and they are a blast.

Crash Team Rumble é só mais uma amostra da ganância das produtoras e desenvolvedoras e dessa trend merda de transformar tudo em jogo online. Se fosse pra fazer algo assim, que fosse um Crash Bash então, que aquele ao menos era divertido e tinha uma variação enorme de minigames.
O principal modo de jogo se torna repetitivo em pouco tempo, existem outros mas tu simplesmente não encontra partida neles de jeito nenhum. Cheguei a ficar quase 20 minutos com um amigo no lobby e não conseguimos achar partida. E mesmo no modo principal as vezes tu fica mais de dez minutos sozinho num lobby esperando ser jogado pra algum que esteja precisando de algum jogador ou o game juntar vários lobbys vazios em um só.
O game tem um leveling extremamente malfeito que exige XP demais pra um modo que te dá XP de menos, o matchmaking além de horrível eh desbalanceado demais (foda-se que tu é nível 1, vai jogar contra player nível 500 SIM) e os servidores são péssimos. Ou eles demoram uma eternidade pra conectar ou simplesmente não conectam.
Crash Team Rumble não é bom como um game do Crash e não é bom como jogo online. É só um caça níquel feito pra embarcar na onda de Multiplayer competitivo online cujo único feito é fazer com que quem curte Crash pegue ódio do personagem. Não quero nunca mais ver esse game na minha frente e não recomendo.

Great core gameplay, but lacked content, progression, and features. Feels rushed and repetitive. Not worth the purchase now that updates have stopped.
I think it's a gross misstep to have this game be online multiplayer only. I put a few rounds into it, and it was fine, but it's just not the type of game I'd be willing to sink real time into while dealing with an internet-ful of randos. Let me play alone, and let the single-player experience have some legs. CTR:NF was really good both solo and multiplayer, so what went wrong between? Corporate meddling.
The game is really fun but it gets repetitive after a few matches and i don't really think it has the replay value that CTR had but overall it's still a good game.
