THIS REVIEW IS ESSENTIALLY FOR THE AUGUST 20TH, 2000 BUILD OF CRASH BASH LOCATED WITHIN SPYRO 3 PS1
Played the version found inside of Spyro 3. While I know it's missing 2 levels in terms of Mallet Mash and Dragon Drop. And it doesn't allow you to switch characters know have nor does this August 20th, 2000 build have the Crash Bash story.
Point is that this game is essentially Crash Bandicoot if it was Mario Party. The issue is Crash Bash in itself has both extremely unfair minigames like Pogo Gogo. But also repetitive ones like in 4-way pong. You get a cheat menu that allows you manipulate and access all levels (as of that August 20th, 2000 Build). And you can even enjoy them in co-op. Though as mentioned Player 1 is limited to Crash, and Player 2 Coco. This version still contains bosses and has a funny asset reuse of Homer Simpson and Bart Simpson as the artworks for the Komodo Brothers boss.
I got the gist of Crash Bash August 20th, 2000 build located within Spyro 3: YEAR OF THE DRAGON.
If you wish to access this version of Crash Bash do the following:
To access the demo you have to hold L1 + R2 + Square at Spyro's start screen menu.
To access the beta you have to press Left, Right, Left, Right(2), Left, Right(3), Left, Right(4), Left, Right(5) at the main screen of Crash Bash.
Enjoy.
Anyway it's a fine enough party game. I love Crash but even if this was the disc version I played and not the August 20th, 2000 build I still got the gist of the minigames, and I'd still prefer playing Mario Party.
