"A bad mario party rip off"

If you've ever played the Mario Party games, you want a game like that is supposed to look like. If you went to the store to buy Crash Boom Bang! because you thought you would be like Mario Party think again.

Story: 5/10
A greedy tycoon called the Viscount is wondering how he can get the lost Super Big Power Crystal. Soon after, the Bandicoots recieve an invitation to the World Cannonball Race. The invitation says that the grand prize is 1,000,000 dollars. Three events into the World Cannonball Race, the Viscount tells the Bandicoots, Cortex, Pinstripe, and everyone else who turned up for the event the real reason he started the race. First, the story for this game sucks. Sierra try a different story.

Gameplay: 5/10
This game has 40 action-packed mini-games that memory and dexterity. The story mode has six different areas to play in. To unlock the mini-games you will have to play the story mode. First, this Mario Party rip off has less mini-games than Mario Party. It only has eight characters. Where are the special events like Mario Party had?

Replayability: 0/10
After you beat the story mode, there's no reason to keep playing this game. While playing the story mode, you should unlock every mini-game. Many of you are wondering what you get when you beat the story mode. You get the option to change the difficulty. That's right the option to change the difficulty. What use is that? Even when you're playing on hard mode the game isn't challenging. The mini-games are way too easy and the story mode is really stupid.

Controls: 10/10
The controls are the only thing in this review that is getting a high rating. The controls work well with every single one of the forty mini-games. That's all I have to say.

Difficulty on Easy: 1/10 Difficulty on Hard: 2/10 Overall Difficulty: 1.5/10
On easy mode the game not at all difficult. All of the mini-games are easy to beat. In certain games the AI (artificial intelligence) won't even know what to do. On hard mode the is still not difficult. The only thing that changes is how stupid the AI is.

Overall Score: 5/10
Crash Boom Bang! is nothing more than a bad Mario Party rip off. There is no point in buying this game because after you beat the story mode you will hardly play this game.
Crash Boom Bang gets an unimpressive 5/10.
