Crash Bash
Review
2025-01-16
Recently booted this up and proceeded to nonstop DUNK on my partner much to their bemusement: "You're a nerd." You're god damned right I'm a nerd. I'm also an even bigger nerd than when I played this as a kid. Such that now I realize it's a weird knockoff of Mario Party but without the weird RNG-boardgame-horseshit of those games. Which makes it better for sure but at the end of the day it's also just a collection of minigames. If I had somehow brought this to college with me I think this would have been a barrel of laughs but given I had it as a kid and everyone preferred to play Jet Moto 2 or Halo or whatever I gotta Bash Crash and slap him with a 2 star.

Not a good game because now with hindsight it’s clearly a Mario Party clone but damn if I didn’t love playing it. Which is hilarious cause I played it solo and never got anyone else to play it with. We’d always play Jet Moto or Halo or something.
