Crash Team Racing... The most electrifying series in game entertainment today has NOT come back to the old school Platform. Instead, Crash n' company crossed over to the racing platform for a refreshing feeling that leaves you tingling all over.

First of all, Crash is no longer for the solo pilot which it usually is. Now, up to FOUR players can crash Crash and his friends and fiends until your thumbs are sore and have sweltering blisters all over them. That's right! Naughty Dog has decided to make a bold move by making a game with multiplayer pleasure.

Playable Characters.....

  1. Crash Bandicoot
  2. Coco Bandicoot
  3. Dr. Neo Cortex
  4. Dr. N. Gin
  5. Pura
  6. Polar
  7. Tiny
  8. Dingodile

Oh yeah. There are a lot of playable characters in this game. 12 to be exact. Although there are only eight to start out with. Somehow there is a way to get the other four characters. You all should find a way to do this. Modes.....
Ha! there are quite a few involved with this game. To list them...

That should keep you busy for a while.

This isn't just a "racing" game it is an ass-kicking racing game! Not only do you have to race you have to fend off other racers trying to annihilate you. You can also try your hardest to annihilate them! Use tracking missiles, bowling bombs, explosive crates, unstable mixtures in beakers, N. Tropy clocks, and warp orbs to knock your enemies off the track. Also use power-ups to your advantage. These include masks (aku aku or uka uka depending on character), turbos, and power shields. In battle mode, two more are added to the list: super engines and invisibility.

Overall, the game has an excellent replay value. To beat the game with every character including the secret characters you have to win, you will be playing this game even if you are a natural at this game.

Yep. Naughty Dog has certainly thought of basically everything to challenge even the novice player of the Crash series. The Crash series is a legacy that will live on for years and years in the gaming community and in the halls of the Dog House as well.
