Oh don't get me wrong. I love me some Chance Time frustration. And the problem with day at the races was it's just a dice throw covered in nice graphics.
Does Crash Bash feature a Master difficulty like Mario Party 9?
You've never played Crash Bash did you? Try to 100% that game. All gems, all crystals, all trophies and all relics. I'm in world 3 and I'm already raging. Also a heads up; there is only one difficulty :3 (though the AI might be harder if you're playing with 2p, like I am. The Pogo minigames show the pure **** that game can throw at you, when you have to get nearly 100 POINTS MORE THAN THE AI TO WIN >.>)
Concluding, Crash Bash has it's moments and MP has it's moments.
Now something I've rarely heared anyone talk about is the Gothic series. Made by Piranha Bytes (G1,2 and 3) it's a western rpg. It's inda clunky, but overall a great game.
