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

5.0 out of 5 stars CRASH TEAM RACING - If you don't have it...GO GET IT!, November 22, 1999
By A Customer
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: CTR: Crash Team Racing (Video Game)
I bought this game 3 days ago and I have played it for probably about 20 hours in those three days. The graphics are amazing with no draw-ins or flaws to be found. The tracks are varied so you never get bored and the game play never seems repetitive. Once you win a race (in Adventure mode; there are about 6 different modes of play and you can choose the difficulty level) you have to go back over the same track to obtain the letters 'C' 'T' and 'R' and win the race again; once you are through with that you go back and try to win a "gem" by having an amazingly quick time. Once you win four races you race the boss one on one. With all of this to do the replay value seems endless. This is by far my favorite racing game (a lot more fun than Gran Turismo) and favorite game overall for the time being. If you don't have this game - GET IT! If you have this game - stop reading this and go play it!

5.0 out of 5 stars CTR - great fun racing game (mario kart for the playstation), July 18, 2001
By 
This review is from: CTR: Crash Team Racing (Video Game)
This game is one of those great games that are fun to play with family and friends, and the one that you always end up playing over-and-over. It's great for people who like Crash Bandicoot games or just like to have fun. It has many great features such as: aventure-race through worlds to collect trophies, talismans, and relics to enter boss races, championships, etc. arcade- 1 or 2 player: the racing with other characters in one of different 25 tracks or a cup race. plus you get to shoot the other racers with rockets, bombs, trap them, ram them, hit them, push them off the road, almost anything you want. vs. - 2player game with only each other to trick and beat this time. battle(a 2-player game) - great!!! battle it out in an area where players can shoot each other with boms or rockets, ram each other, using all the powerups, trap each other onto tnts, etc.

A great game for people of any age!!

5.0 out of 5 stars WAY more better than Square's disappointing Chocobo Racing, December 9, 1999
By A Customer
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: CTR: Crash Team Racing (Video Game)
This game is just AMAZING! I really, really mean this. DO NOT by Chocobo Racing. Buy this.

The graphics in this game are lush, colorful, fast, without any pop-up(how did they do it?), and are just fun to look at. Even in two player mode, there's no real frame-rate reduction(!).

The controls are both easy and realistic(sounds weird saying this, for this game being a kart game). The control demands both brake and gas, not just slamming on the gas. And, if you do a "skid" right, you'll get a free turbo. Master this even, and you can turbo down a whole race.

There are some modes, including: Adventure, Time Trial, VS. and even Battle mode. The adventure mode is the heart of this game; you'll get to race around in a beautiful world. Time Trials are best put this way: You race alone. And the VS. and Battle modes are just spetacular, containing hours of fun either racing your friend or blowing him to smithereens.

There really is no bad side to this game, and if there is, it's almost transparent or something to do with repetivity(is there such a word?).

This IS the "Mario Kart" for the Playstation, if you wanted to know. Buy this at all costs.
