Crash Team Racing

When it comes to arcade racing games, people always remember Mario Kart, and I've always found it to be a huge injustice.

CTR is BY FAR the best kart videogame. The career mode actually has a fun story (despite being an arcade game) and the difficult increases through the plot, forcing the player to evolve the driving style. If you are a casual, you could just play until the final boss is defeated and you're good to go. But if you're really into the game, the side "quests" are amazing, with great challenges to unlock new tracks and characters and beating your own records (actually receiving in-game rewards for it).

The multiplayer mode is also guaranteed fun, whether it's just racing or a fun battle among up to four human players using power-ups and "kart-shooting" one another.

The shortcuts are another part of the game that makes it unpredictable, self-challenging and of course, funnier.

And for last, the boosting-drifting system is what separates this game from the others. It feels so natural to make your kart jump, powerslide through the track gaining small boost, and then a final big boost if you've done it three times in a row is so, so natural that it makes it feel that this is how real-life kart racing works.

Please, do yourself a favor and play it.

CTR: Crash Team Racing is like Mario Kart in a way where you get characters from a famous series into one game well this time you get the PlayStation take with Crash series.

It's easy to see why many people love this game because you get to race on very well down and interesting tracks with eight different characters both heroes and villains.

The game does feature some challenges like any other racing game if you're not careful the other racers can leave you in the dust and hit you with power ups.

That's what makes this game very good is the fact it contains very cool power ups from weapons to turbo boost.

The game play is where the game really shines it features hours of fun with your friends.

The controls in the game did take some time to master but once you get the hang of it all is well and the game rewards you very well.

The music is what you would expect from Crash catchy and matches the game play.

The game is just pure fun yes it does give you some challenges but then again all is well with the game play.

I give CTR Crash Team Racing an 9 out of 10

I loved this game from the minute I picked up the controller!

The gameplay is superb! The handling on the vehicles is perfect fun! The power-ups you can pick up to use on your opponents are hilarious! The best part of the gameplay is the multi-player, where you can race or you can fight against each other in an arena!

The graphics are the average PS graphics and don't look as good as X-BOX or PS2, but they aren't that bad. The sound is great, too.

Overall, this a good, fun racing game for all ages. You will almost never get tired of this game!

Rating: 5 out of 5

ever since crash bandicoot came out, the first game was the best. however, the games got worse as they went along. but then, they came out with this game...... crash team racing, and improved crash bandicoot. now, crash bash is out, and that is a very non-crash bandicoot game. crash team racing is the only real crash bandicoot game for playstation.

CRASH TEAM RACING / CTR (1999) is another great addition to the Crash Bandicoot game series, this time featuring a Crash racing game. As many hardcore Crash fans might agree, CTR is way better than any Mario Kart games.

"In the fourth installment of the Crash Bandicoot series, an evil alien called Nitros Oxide challenges Crash, his friends, and even his enemies to a racing competition to see who is the fastest in the Universe."

Crash Team Racing is very fun, and is great for fans of racing games as well as fans of Crash and Naughty Dog. PlayStation games were always more fun in my opinion. A great play!
