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.

More four-player fun than even Ron Jeremy could offer.

Not to say that Crash Bash can't be played alone, but when there's a room full of people, Crash Bash suddenly becomes ten times more fun.

The sheer variety of games will entertain most any party for hours on end (or at least until the beer runs out.)

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.

The games themselves look good and play even better, but only against other humans. It's just not fun to play minigames against a computer, no matter how well they're both programmed.

Gaming Maxx
It's a party title without the boring drama of rolling dice. It's a game that gets right to the point...the fun.

It is shallow, but it is a party game meant for four players to have fun beating each other senseless (in the game of course).

Let's hope Traveller's Tales takes note with Crash 4 and helps all of us forget about Crash Bash.

Utterly run of the mill, completely middle of the road. Its flaws may not be glaring, but there isn't a single aspect of the game that truly shines through.

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.

The six mini-games are fun to play... for about 30 minutes each.

Jared C. gave it a10:
A flawed fun game, every level includes entertainment, its non-stop fun.

Rami W. gave it a10:
This game is so fun that i`ll play it for a week non-stop. Well at least a day.

Niko gave it an8:
This is PURE fun. You gotta have this game for multiplayer sessions with your favorite buddies.

Skylubber T. gave it a 9:
I play this game with my mother, my wife, and my daughter and we are rolling on the floor laughing! How many games have that sort of multigeneration appeal? I place it above Crash Team racing and Mario party for entertainment for all ages. I only rate it a 9 just to leave room for future games. Worst game: ball-bearing hockey games. Best games: box-throwing, Tanks, circle races. Best comedy: hammering each other instead of the mushrooms, and the characters' reactions when mayhem occurs on many of the games.

Odin W. gave it a 9:
This game is so cool, but the balloon thing is so bad, 4-Player Pong kicks ass and the 2 player mission is nearly as fun as playing Cookie & Cream...

Joe gave it an 8:
It's a cool game but the "Pogo Pandemonium"is not so funny.

Nick gave it a 2:
I am a big fan of Crash, but he should not be in mini games.
