Editorial Review
PlayStation owners no longer need to borrow their friend's Nintendo 64 in order to have a rollicking good old time racing virtual turbo-charged go-karts through outlandish environments. Crash Team Racing does an excellent job of re-creating that same thrill on the PlayStation.

Crash Team Racing has all the marks of the kart-racing genre, including big-headed characters driving diminutive go-karts, power-ups to increase speed and slow down opponents, and thematic tracks with multiple paths for exploration. What CTR adds to the mix is fairness: tighter-turning cars are rewarded for precision driving, skillful jumping, and strategic placement of booby traps. Sure, the playing field is level, but the better the driver, the better chance he or she has of winning consistently without any annoying "catch-up code."

The one-player game is wonderfully presented as an exploratory adventure, while the multiplayer mode is a split-screen must-play for anyone with a PlayStation (and, of course, friends). Twenty-five tracks, 12 characters, and responsive control make CTR the gotta-have racing game. --Jeff Young

Pros:

  • Excellent kart control, including power slides, hops, and wheelies
  • Wide tracks encourage passing
  • High replayability, especially in multiplayer mode
Cons:
  • Characters aren't as cute as those in Mario Kart


Product Description
An alien named Nitrous Oxide appears and challenges Crash and his friends to a race. If Nitrous wins, he gets to take over the planet. Crash and company must win at all costs to avoid falling under the rule of Nitrous. Pick from classic CRASH BANDICOOT characters like Crash, Coco, and Dr. Cortex, each with custom carts, and hit one of the 25 tracks. Jump, power slide, and turbo your way to missiles and bombs you can use to get rid of the opposition. When you friends start talking trash, make them put up or shut up with versus mode. Play CTR: CRASH TEAM RACING and try to save the world from Nitrous Oxide.

1 out of 5 stars I am here to take away the 5 stars rating because this game sucks   October 27, 2008
I feel sorry for all you Sony fans out there, but this game is terrible. the weapons and bonuses are lame and the karts are way to slow. every Mario kart game ever made has been better then this and not by a little but a lot. this game is a joke.


5 out of 5 stars A Classic for all Ages   October 9, 2008
CTR has got to be one of the greatest games for a family to play. It has very good graphics, effects, sound and react time. CTR can have up to 4 players, with split screen for each viewer. Highly recommended for players 5 and up.


5 out of 5 stars My son loved this birthday gift   September 8, 2008
My son is a huge Spyro the Dragon fan, and he quickly took to this game. Spyro's got some competition now...


4 out of 5 stars CTR   May 29, 2008
My boyfriend has crash nitro cart, and we liked to play it. He used to have this game until he lost it, so i figured it would be a good gift for his birthday. He was very excited! I had never played it before, but when i did i thought it was way better than nitro cart. I really enjoy the courses in the first one better.


4 out of 5 stars I still love this game   October 20, 2007
I've played this game before when I was younger, and even though it's a "kiddie game," I still love it! The controls are easy to get used to, there are many tracks and options to explore, more than one challenge of just defeating all the characters in a single or cup race, and overall, it's just plain fun! It's great for all ages.
