Critic Reviews

90 Game Fan
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.
88 Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
More four-player fun than even Ron Jeremy could offer.
80 GamePro
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.
75 Game Revolution
The sheer variety of games will entertain most any party for hours on end (or at least until the beer runs out.)
75 IGN
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.
75 Daily Radar
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.
74 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.
74 Da Gameboyz
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).
73 PSX Nation
Let's hope Traveller's Tales takes note with Crash 4 and helps all of us forget about Crash Bash.
60 GameSpot
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.
50 CNET Gamecenter
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.
40 Happy Puppy
The six mini-games are fun to play... for about 30 minutes each.
