(OLD) Crash Bash Review by Square Eyed Jak

[@cookiestar456]

This game is actually really fun on multiplayer.

[@Megumi_Bandicoot]

I feel like Uka Uka or Aku Aku should've been the final bosses. Fighting Oxide for no reason at the end felt so forced and out of place.

[@supergeniuswithattitude1432]

I felt they put him in the game as the final boss he the 1st final boss in a crash game that wasn't cortex so they wanted to use him more eventhought he wasn't in anyway involved in the story

[@davidp.7620]

it's a party game who cares

[@gamerguy425]

@@supergeniuswithattitude1432 That's probably it considering Cortex and most of the other bosses from pevious games are playable characters or too insignificant to be final boss material. STILL the opposing mask feels like an obvious choice, or they could have just made an original boss.

Wait, so if you beat the game with a bad guy uka uka gets all the power crystals and takes over the world leaving Crash and Coco to fend for themselves and hide and most likely get spotted by uka uka and die? WTF! What kind of ending is that!?!?!?

[@WildCard_M-Page]

personally i prefer the tiebreaker ending. beat adventure mode with 2 players, 1 as a good character and 1 as an evil character. the masks tell you to defeat your teammate, which means you go 1v1 against your partner in a jungle bash clone to determine whether you get the good ending or bad ending!

[@EvangelionPower]

You see this ending if you lead the forces of evil to victory. What ending did you expect?

[@Perunakeitto92]

They actually should've continue this path with CTR and CNK. If bad guys win they blow the shit out of Oxide and Velo

[@xDinomanx]

I started a co-op with one of my best friends and STILL, TO THIS DAY....have not finished it. Our save file dates back to 2008. Yep, almost 10 years. We are on the final warp room after beating Nitrous Oxide and STILL, CANNOT beat some of those remaining challenges. We have just about every single trophy, gem, crystal only to learn there are platinum relics to get.....*sigh* Still a great game though.

[@5argon]

This is one game I found unexpectedly amazing, I would have gave 8/10! Despite changing studios which is kind of worrying me, it does retains all the smell of the original trilogy + CTR while turned into a party game. The insane unlocking difficulty, the details such as different ability for each characters. The extra area after completing a game, just like old game devs likes to do but nowadays they are just lazy and post-game content is just trying to collect missed things. The clever little changes to the level but significant when you actually play it, just like various dawn/night version in Crash 3. The boss fight that I can feel it is "exclusive" and not a lazy work. Having goes over 100% in Crash 3, I enjoyed the challenge and design in this game greatly. (It is rage inducing, but I keep coming back to the game day after day so I guess that works... There's one day that I just popping balloons from morning to night) In all further PS2 and further crash games I cannot feel any of this "fingerprint". I do feel it is kind of a low production cost game, but it's definitely better than 6/10 if you ask me. Just imo.

[@kenn-fucius]

if you play the story mode with 2 players one good one evil you both beat eachothers ass and who ever wins gets the ending

[@sheilaghoul7019]

I think Koala Kong and DK Assface should have been replaced by N. Tropy and N. Gin or what not.

[@ShiftyGuy777]

Metal Man then who would be similar to tiny and dingodile

[@TheGreatGritzy]

Assface could've been replaced by Pinstripe tbh

[@evanmerwin7979]

You know what would rock my balls? A crash fighting game in the style of Jungle Bash, only much more advanced (more mechanics, stages and characters (RIPPER ROO))

[@SquareEyedJak]

***** That would be awesome, that is arguably the best mini game in bash. :D

[@plumbojumbo2190]

Square Eyed Jak Yeah. Shame Crash and Spyro are too busy locked up in Activision's basement as sex slaves... [LENNY]

[@Morgorath30]

for fucking real. Spyro and now Crash look fucking atrocious in skylanders.

[@plumbojumbo2190]

Morgorath30 Crash's design in the new Skylanders is very reminiscent of many parts of the original concept art for Crash, with the massive head and all. It's not a perfect incarnation, but it's a hell of a lot better than the Titans and Mutants designs. He looks much better than Spyro did.

[@Morgorath30]

***** I agree on it having some ideas from old Crash. But the final makeup of this new model just doesnt look right. He just looks plastic. Not to mention Crash Bandicoot always gave me a cool vibe, now hes giving me a scary vibe lol. Either way though you're right on one thing, Crash still does look better than Spyro's reincarnation.

[@bengardner2363]

Tiny kind of makes sense because he worked for N. Brio. Cortex even called Tiny his enemy in Crash 2 so it's kind of weird that Tiny is one of his most loyal henchmen in later games.

I know how you feel. A few weeks ago I decided to play this game again thinking I could handle it. I was wrong. The game made me rage so much I felt like I could explode into a million pieces. I got so angry I broke the glass on the outside of the game cover not entirely but I still cracked it from hitting it so hard. I don't know how I did it but somehow I managed to unlock every level in the game. It feels so satisfying to be able to unlock every level in that goddamn game. Still though that game can go to hell. I got screwed over so many times by the computer players. Also even though I beat the game I don't care about getting all the gems, crystals or relics, I just wanted to unlock all the levels.

I can feel the pain your going through the first few seconds of the video, it was the crystal challenge of the Pogo level in the first warp room wasn't it (damn mushrooms)? Took me an endless time to beat it with a bit of rage to get 200% completion. Crash Bash, fun game but will make you have your rage moments in adventure mode.

[@sw-hs1pt]

If it's party mode it is more fun, for me of course. Also I feel I'm the only one who didn't have much trouble beating that???? I mean, it was kinda difficult, I apologise for the rage that happened to you, I know that feel in so many other times there...

Love your Crash reviews dude, had me in stitches multiple times! The first 30 seconds is so accurate. "YOU FAIL!!" still rings in my ears even to this day!! All in all a great game though. Difficult, incredibly frustrating and downright unfair at times I'll admit, but still a great game. This game goes up to 200% and in my co-op game mode which I'd recommend as it's easier and definitely more fun playing with a friend, our save file is currently at 198%!! All we need is the platinum relic for N. Ballism!!! FUCK THAT LEVEL!!! And POGO FUCKING PADLOCK!!! We played as Tiny and Koala who are definitely the best characters! We also got the secret crate crush level at the end as our team had both good and evil characters.

[@ImScaredVids]

I used to play this all the time when I was younger, it was the only Crash game I had for PS1. Bad thing was, I had no PS1 memory card and for some reason it took me forever to realise that you can't save PS1 game-data onto a PS1 memory card so I'd get to about the 2nd warp room and then 'attempt' to save, almost every week I did this. For some reason I can't find any of the PS1 games I owned when I was younger, I assume they got chucked out, so now I've asked for some for Christmas. Great review, best review for this game. I actually remember seeing a review bashing (no pun intended) this game for not being developed by Naughty Dog... how can you hate this game?

[@KoopaXross]

Correction: You can die after you get Komodo bros into separate tanks and have a continue from there if you die.

[@toddmilhouse2458]

I cant 100% this game. I picked coco (because she's the bae) and I simply just cant. I remember the Sky Balls Crystal challenge and I was on that level for almost a WHOLE day. NOPE. I cannot beat this game. The only levels I truly enjoy and the pogo levels. I usually pick hard and team it depending on how I feel. Love the game, but the difficulty is indeed all over the place with this one.

1:54 - 2:04: My only guess is that Aku Aku forgot that he wasn't suppose to fight against his brother, but only stabilize him. I can understand that, but that doesn't excuse why N. Brio is helping Cortex in this game, when N. Brio has a vendetta against Cortex in Crash 2 (2:15 - 2:30). Also, N. Brio was the one who created Tiny, before Tiny joined Cortex's side, so it would be nice if Both N.Brio and Tiny was on Crash's side, rather than Dingodile. Besides, Kanga-Rilla has no proper backstory, in terms of who created Kanga-Rilla. Crash Bash never explained who created Kanga-Rilla, so it would've been nice if N. Brio and Tiny were the only ones who joined Crash's Team.

[@bandicootsmwcentral2950]

I loved this game as a kid but i have to agree with you. The dificulty in the story mode is fucking insane. The problem is how they handled the AI. The game would put a harder Ai on you depending on how many consecutive victories you had. But the obly way the AI decreases its Ai is by losing 10 fucking times. Which means that unless you do the harder challenges early game your'e fucked(well to be honest your'e fucked anyways by the mid-game). What i do like about the story mode are the cristal challenges sure they are hard but some of them are pretty fun and add a twist to the game.

when I first played this, I was like 5, and I thought that is was crash and Coco, vs tiny, dingo dile, cortex, doctor n brio, koala Kong, and Bonkey Donk. I feel like they should've made it more clearer who was good and bad, since I didn't understand who was who. when you picked the charecters, they should've said something like "heroes" over crash, Coco, tiny, and dingo and "villans" over cortex, n brio, koala Kong, and Bonkey​ donk. I just now figured out who is who, since I got rid of my old PS2, and obviously can't play this game anymore.

I played this so much back then and I still do . Never gets old and a fantastic soundtrack might I add . I really hope this gets Remade for ps4 next . (After watching that other spyro I don't think they're gonna wanna do that next lol.) Crash bash has more potential due to the fact it can be an online game and can add newer things to it like bonus charectors or more levels and soundtracks or maybe even crystal challenges like you said in tournament mode ( that actually sounds really fun ) funny enough that I played this for over almost 15 years and I just realized that if you play 2 player with 1 good and evil charector you have a secret outro that aku aku and uka uka talk and say you have to fight to the death and then the outro comes out whoever wins ,good or evil ending which it felt so weird . A game that I played for that long and saw footage I never seen that entire time was wild . Like I said hope they remake this for the last crash game for ps1 . It would make my ps4 dream come true .
