Reviews from

in the past


To the few out there who are somehow still requesting a remake of this game (as faithful as the other ones, I assume), I'd like them to remove their rose-tinted nostalgia glasses and answer me this:

Have you revisited the Adventure Mode lately?
Have you gone past through the first or second warp room at least?

Because I revisited this game multiple times in the past decade, and always dropped it to that point until now.

Not because it's too hard. There are the occasional difficulty spikes, but you can persevere towards the end in not much time. No, it's because it gets very tedious very quickly.

It's clear to me that the condition to win the minigame at least 3 times (up to 9 times if you're really struggling) to earn the trophy was done to pad up the game's length, given how light its content actually is, with too many variants of the same concepts.

It's not like there's no potential for great multiplayer fun, because I can clearly see it. But if you don't own the correct version with working cheat codes, so you can instantly unlock all the minigames and make the most out of those multiplayer sessions with the buddies, then I hope you have the patience of a monk, especially if you intend to fully complete Adventure Mode. Because I sure don't have it for this.

Soundtrack's kinda fire though.

"Crash Bash" is a nostalgic throwback to fun party gaming sessions, but it falls short in terms of variety. While it's undeniably enjoyable to play with friends, the lack of minigame variety becomes apparent over time, leading to repetitive gameplay. Despite its shortcomings, the game still holds some charm, especially when revisited with friends in 2024. The classic Crash Bandicoot characters and simple gameplay mechanics can provide moments of entertainment, but ultimately, it's not enough to keep the experience fresh for long periods. "Crash Bash" may have its moments of fun, but it's best enjoyed in short bursts with a group of friends looking for some nostalgic gaming fun.

was the fun game to play when when i had friends over and i only had my ps1 so we couldt play mario party instead
