Featured reviews
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
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.
"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!
This is the second best Crash bandicoot game with the first being best by far even though 3 is considered best but yet it took only 4 days to complete?
The plot goes as a super fast alien named Nitros Oxide is going to take over earth if nobody is faster than him. Crash and Cortex are gonna have to side with each other if they're gonna defeat him.
There are lots of cups and race tracks to race against each other in but a feature I would have liked if you could build your own track.
Any way its a good kart game. 8 outta 10.

- Quotes
[first lines]
Nitrous Oxide: Greetings, creatures of this planet. I've come to compete.So, you pesky earthlings like to race, eh, hehehehe. Well, I am Nitros Oxide, I'm the fastest racer in the galaxy. I travel to stars looking for creatures to test my skills. It's a little game I call survival of the fastest. Here's the way we play: I challenge the best driver of your world to a race for the planet. If your driver wins I'll leave your miserable meddle rock alone. But if I win I'll turn you entire goal into a concrete parking lot and make you my slaves. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Get ready to race for the fate of your planet.
- Alternate versionsIn the PAL version, there's an interesting glitch. When prompted to select a language before the title screen, you can press Triangle to cancel it, leaving you with nothing but blank spaces and hyphens where words would normally be. The glitch gets really interesting in Adventure Mode, because most bosses strangely swap their heads and dialogues with each others. You can get such atrocities as Papu Papu with Pinstripe's head, Komodo Joe with Oxide's and Oxide with Papu Papu's (Ripper Roo, on the other hand, remains untouched). Another difference is that Aku Aku/Uka Uka will be silent. The game seems to change to the Japanese language when you do this (the only problem is that neither the voice lines nor the Japanese font are there, and that's why it doesn't work). The reason it seems to do this is because the CTR challenges in adventure mode will say "CBR" along with some missing characters. CBR stands for Crash Bandicoot Racing, which is the name of the game in Japan. As you've probably guessed, these challenges use the letters CBR instead of CTR in that version. This further supports the theory that the Japanese version was built off of the PAL one, also evidenced by the fact that it retains all the improvements from it.
