Damien McFerran of Pocket Gamer, giving the game a score of 5 out of 10, commended the "generally stunning" graphics and "excellent" level design, but criticized the "unforgivably poor" combat system and "repetitive" gameplay.

Damon Brown of GameSpot, giving the game a score of 6.1 out of 10, commended the game for its fast gameplay, solid graphics and funny characters, but criticized the small visuals, confusing items, lack of variety, controls that are "hard on the thumb" and the fact that the game "gets boring quickly".

Rob Hearn of Pocket Gamer, giving the game a score of 4 out of 10, said that while Crash Racing is "not offensive in terms of gameplay, Crash manages to offend nevertheless by being lazy, brief, and all but identical to Cocoto Kart Racer," and summed up the game as "Cocoto, but with a shoddier kingpin."

## Party

Crash Boom Bang! is a party mobile game published by Vivendi Games Mobile. The game is loosely based on the Nintendo DS title of the same name and features 14 minigames centered around characters of the Crash Bandicoot series, including Crash, Coco, Cortex and Nina. All minigames are simple in input and only require one thumb to play. The game's single-player mode allows the player to either play individual minigames or play them all in a row to accumulate the highest score. The multiplayer mode includes free-for-all games, in which the players all must lay thumbs on the handset to compete. Producer Elodie Larre described adapting a party game for the mobile phone as a "big challenge". Not wanting to make "another multiplayer game where the players just pass the phone to each other" and hoping to attract both old and new fans of the series, the development team decided to integrate the mobile phone itself into the minigames, creating such minigame gimmicks as playing with one hand behind the back, with one eye closed, playing with the chin, etc. The biggest challenge for the team was keeping the minigames inside the phone's memory, which was cited as slightly inferior to the first PlayStation console. The WarioWare series was described as an influence in making the game. Stuart Dredge of Pocket Gamer, giving the game a score of 6 out of 10, described the collection of minigames as "a mixed bag", but said that the multiplayer challenges were "relatively fun".
