The game starts with an excellent voice sample "Crash Baaasshhh!!". From this point on the game can only be described as a dismal and utterly failed attempt at cashing in on an already tired brand. The graphics are weak, appearing tiresome rather than cute, even taking into account the limitations of the Playstation. The gameplay consists of several half-baked "sporting" mini-games, including polar bear riding and painting while pogosticking. In themselves, these might not sound un-bearable, however the engines and algorithms behind the games are slow, un-responsive and thouroughly uninspiring. The programmers and designers seem to have taken no pride in this game at all. If the contents of this disc were incorporated into a fully-fledged RPG as short mini-games, no one would bat an eyelid; however to present them as a game in their own right is not only insulting, but down-right ludicrous! The sound I will give a two for the opening voice sample, but otherwise displays the same lack of originality and attention to detail as the rest of this depressing substitute for a "party-game". Value.... well it hardly needs to be said that I feel this game is bad value for money - personally I played this game for less than an hour before converting it into a frizbee-cum-ashtray. The fact that this game is still on the shelves is nothing short of a disgrace.
