Hoping for a Crash Bash experience, i was left with a bad Mario Party spin off.

User Rating: 5 | Crash Boom Bang! DS
The review score this game got put me right off this game, I had lost all hope in the Crash Series after Wrath of Cortex but after playing Crash Bash again it made me take a look at Crash Boom Bang. There is a nice set of playable characters to choose from and game modes to keep you occupied for a while. Graphically on the DS it is Average maybe even above. So i have no issue with the graphics. Gameplay wise they have gone with a board game approach, You roll a dice and you move squares, landing on different mini games to gain points. I have played Mario Party which is very similar but theres something The Mario party games have that Crash Boom Bang does not. There is the option to use items during the game giving it a nice, Twist. But there is a enormous amount of luck involved when rolling the dice. I suppose it would keep me occupied if i were on the move but there is little enthusiasim i have in this game that would keep me hooked to it for hours. The mini games are mixed. There are a few good ones and a lot of terrible ones but theres a wide selection. Overall i was very dissapointed but i wasn't expecting a Great game. I'l stick to the Classic Crash games. (5.2)
