Crash Bash

Crash Bash is a game released for the Playstation, primarily intended as a multiplayer game. It was the first in the Crash series not to be produced by Naughty Dog. Instead, it was created and developed by Eurocom.

Storyline
A fight has broken out between Aku Aku and Uka Uka. Instead of fighting head to head, it is decided a contest between good and evil will ensue. Crash and his buddies, Cortex and his henchmen, and introducing Rilla Roo, are zapped to outter space to partake in various mini game activities to see who will win the Crystals.

Additions
Radically different from the previous games in the series, this game is often compared to the Mario Party series for the Nintendo 64 and GameCube. Every level is a minigame with various tasks which need to be completed in order to obtain prizes. The ending differs depending on what side (good or evil) you decide to enter story mode with.

Reception
Generally poor reception for this game, due to the dropping off of Naughty Dog from the project. They would later go on to create the Jak and Daxter series. The graphics were degraded from Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped and thus the game was all-in-all poorly received.
