Ever since the debut of Nintendo's "Mario Party", the multiplayer party genre is suddenly popular. Now the PlayStation's mascot, Crash, is jumping onto the bandwagon with "Crash Bash". It's the first game developed without Naughty Dog, who created Crash's first four games; instead, it's developed by Eurocom and Mark Cerny. For a first shot, Eurocom has done a great job with living up to Naughty Dog's legacy.

You can play as one of eight characters: Crash, Coco (Crash's sister), Dr. Neo Cortex (Crash's enemy), Dr. N. Brio (Cortex's rival), Tiny, Dingodile, and Koala Kong (Cortex's henchmen), and Kangorilla (a new character). There are also some secret characters, including Ripper Roo (a psychotic kangaroo in a straitjacket) and Penta Penguin.

There's a total of 28 different games to play. One example is a game where you ride on polar bears and joust each other while trying to avoid falling off of the slippery, swaying iceberg on which you're battling. In another, you bounce on pogo sticks and try to make the bricks of the platform you're bouncing on a solid color. There's even a game where you drive through a maze in a tank and blast each other with missiles and mines. Some games, though, are variants of classic games, such as air hockey, racing (although in this, you race in bumper cars rather than go-karts), and standard fighting, e.g. throwing TNT at each other and using your special 'power', etc.

The game allows for 1-4 players, and offers so much fun, you'll get addicted instantly. You'll definitely enjoy it!

Chrash Bash may is as good as Niendo's Mario Part, if not better. The gameplay is based around different mini-games (like Mario Party), set into four groups. The groups include the likes of playing with pogos, bouncing balls, playing in the snow, ana a jungle level. In my opinion, the mini-games are much more developed than in Mario Party, however there are is a fewer variety. The level of fun, is without a doubt, better than Mario Party. However, the games are much more lengthy. You must have patience when playing each game because you must win three trophies to win a mini-game. This should be in everyone's Playstation library as a classic game.

As I said before, Crash Bash is ultimately the most fun I've ever had with the wonderful Crash Bandicoot Series. I'm 14, and I got my first Crash Bandicoot (Crash 1) when I was 9 years old, and I have enjoyed the entire series ever since. Crash Bash has it all; a great storyline, superb graphics, and, most importantly, an unbelievable replay value. It's as almost if I could keep playing this game for 2 or 3 more years (and I probably could!). Crash Bash provides 8 characters to start out with. They are Crash Bandicoot, the star of the series, Coco Bandicoot, Crash's sister, Dr.Neo Cortex, Crash's arch nemesis, Dr.N.Brio, Cortex's old colleague, the huge Tiny Tiger, Rilla Roo, a brand new villain, Koala Kong, and my favorite, Dingodile. Each has their own strength (and weakness) such as Crash's speed, Tiny's strength, and Brio's ability to fire a laser gun. There are 3 modes of play. They are Adventure mode, which is when you travel from warp room to warp room duking it out with the other players for trophies, crystals, and gems and battling bosses, Battle mode, a freestyle competition where you can pick your character, level, and difficulty and just get rollin', and finally Tournament mode, where you can select an arena of four levels and collect trophies as you go, and hopefully, win! The levels are spectacular, ranging from a level where you can mercilessly bombard your opponents with an assortment of crates and weapons to a flat out frenzy on pogo sticks! This game is one of the best games I own. I look forward to playing this game every day, no matter how much school homework I have assigned to me!! Trust me, you'll love every ounce of this 3-D masterpiece. And as for the people who think this game stinks, well, they're full of it. If you don't have this game, well then by all means, go out and snag a copy, put it into your PlayStation, and get ready to have a blast!!!

For those of you who are looking for fun yet non-violent video games for your kids, there are none better than the Crash Bandicoot games. However, I'm not a fan of Crash Bash. I give it 3 stars only because there are parts that are enjoyable. And as a multi-player game, it can be a lot of fun. The problem is with the Adventure part of the game where you go against 3 other characters and gradually win your way to other levels. Instead of winning your way to other games, all you get when you go to a new level is one new game and harder versions of the previous levels' games. Also, when you don't win you get pelted with a "You FAIL" both visually and aurally. After losing many times in a row and you will lose because the games are tough, this doesn't do much for your self-esteem. If you're looking for a non-violent, multi-player game, this is a good choice. However, if you're looking for the something like the previous Crash games, then you're going to be disappointed.

This game has a dramatic beginning, with Uka Uka challenging his brother to a contest. They're not going to do it themselves, so they summom teams. Aku Aku's team is Crash Bandicoot, Coco, and Tiny and Dingodile. Aku Aku summoned them to be on his team because Uka Uka had too many players. Uka Uka's team is Dr. Neo Cortex, Dr. N. Brio, Koala Kong, and new baddie, Rilla Roo. The contest is a collection of arena based battles. There are seven genres of games, Crate Crush, Polar Push, Pogo Pandemonium, Ballistix, Tank Wars, Crash Dash, and Medieval Mayhem. You hop on a pogo stick, ride on polar bears, tanks, and dragons and play air hockey. I give this game my highest recommendation!

My husband and I (30+ year olds, I have to admit) bought a playstation on a whim several years ago. Crash was one of our introductory games. As they keep coming out with new ones, we're on it. Crash Bash is the first time we have played the game simultaneously and what a blast. The graphics are hilarious and inventive. The game lets you pick which character you want to be, and I was a little reluctant at first rooting for anyone but Crash. I quickly got over that. It was good enough that he was on my team. It is hilarious. The big characters riding around on little polar bears is a kick. It is pretty tricky, but not enough to frustrate you. And, again, it is inventive. One of the games has 4 characters on 4 corners of a floating ice block that tips toward the direction of most weight. It is a riot. The final "challenges" are tough, but again, not impossible. They make it just difficult enough to make the game last and not become boring, but not too hard to frustrate the player. I recommend Crash as a must-have with a Playstation.

I got crash bash not to long ago and it's my favorite game i ever played.Some people say Mario Party is better, i don't think so.Crash bash is awesome, you can ride dragons,hover ships,pogo sticks,polar bears,tanks,little flying saucer,or just run aroud people and throw stuff at each other.The good guys are:Crash,Coco,Tiny,and Dingodile.The bad guys are:Cortex,Dr.N.Biro,Koala Kong,and my favorite Rilla Roo.The bosses are Papu Papu and his minoins,A polar bear and his little robat polar bears,Komondo Joe and Moe and there fire powered bunker, and last you race Oxide and then corner him and let him have it.In adventure mode there is a new kind of lvl. in every warp room.If you want to you can tipe in a code and play "Spyro Land of the Dragon."

....O.k if you want to go head to Head or 4 against 4 but Avoid the Adventure Levels. With it's overbearing YOU FAIL every time you lose no such reminder if you win by the way. It's a bit Too Harsh for the young players the game is intended for. I feel as though i wasted my money . A FAR Cry from Crash Bandicoot: Warped

"Crash Bash" is deffinently the best of the Crashes. It's challenging, fun, and hard to quit. The levels are hard yet still fun to play (even though you loose half the time). And after you beat one level, they develope new ways to play that same level in a different way (My favorite levels are the Crash Box Bash one's). But I have to say that the best, best, best part of "Crash Bash" is.......... THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE CRASH!!!!! That's right. You can choose from a total of eight charecters (Crash, Coco, Dr. Neo Cortex, Tiny, ect.) to lead you through the game. You can also battle other people, go through tournements, or do the regular adventrue mode. So this is the reason I think that Crash Bash is they best of the Crashes.

It is about time they made this game.You can play as all of the characters from the prevous Crash games. It is like Mario Party, but better. If you like all of the Crash games. Then you will like this game.
