Crash Team Rumble
SCORE: 68
It took me a year after the game was released to get it into my
gameplay schedule. This is what happens when companies are not being
competitive with our limited time and financial resources. Activision
could have made an effort to get to the front of the queue but they
chose not to. Crash Team Rumble is an online video game where you are on
a team and compete against others teams. There is a four on four, three
on three, and a timed mode where the team of four works together to
achieve the goals.
I played Crash Team Rumble for just over an hour. I was put on teams
that easily won the first two matches and then never saw a win after
that. There are plenty of issues I noticed with Crash Team Rumble. First
and foremost I wonder how dead Crash Team Rumble actually is. It took a
long time to get into the first match. I also noticed that there was lag
and glitches while playing. There are a few arenas to play in. Not as
many as I hoped. I learned each of them as I played them for the first
time. I did play the tutorial of Crash Team Rumble offline. Plenty of
legal agreements to agree to in Crash Team Rumble. A Xbox subscription
and Internet are required to play Crash Team Rumble.
I noticed in some matches my team was winning until the other team
started camping our base. The goal is to get these fruit and then take
them to your base. Players must stand still to deposit the fruit. That
makes you vulnerable for a little bit. I would drop something like a
piranha plant to attack enemies so I could deposit. That did not always
work, especially if they dropped something stronger and took me out
before I could deposit. I was the highest scorer on my team most
matches.
There are also these portal master looking circles that players can turn
to their side. That would help boost something. We can collect these
items and gain some power like to turn into a beach ball and roll
around. I seriously question the match making in Crash Team Rumble. I
would notice that I was constantly over matched by people that have been
playing for months or even a year. I even noticed when we got a high
level person they would leave, and come back on the other team.
As we level up we unlock different emotes, characters, and clothing to
wear in Crash Team Rumble. I did not have fun with this game.
