Retrospectives, usually done by RK128 on Crashy News, where we discuss the games in depth and less more like an review. It gives games a second look and chance to see the pros and cons without intending to pursue a recommendation of purchase.
The Crash Retrospective continues with this party game set within the Crash universe. This follows Crash’s drift into the track with CTR, so we have another spin-off in the Crash series. With Naughty Dog not making this title, does the quality suffer, or does the title still offer a fun experience?
