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!

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!!

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.

This game has it all! Great graphics (some of the best I have seen on the playstation), good sound (not annoying), awesome playability, good learning curve, longevity and a sense of humor.

This game is suitable for just about everyone, regardless of skill level or age. The easy controls, wide range of fun characters and cartoony graphics will appeal to younger gamers, but it is sufficiently challenging for the older gamer. Completing the game is a little too easy (I finished Arcade mode and Adventure mode within a month, and I'm not exactly a great gamer) but the time trials, relic races and multiplayer modes will keep even advanced gamers coming back for more.

I have played many racing games on the Playstation, Dreamcast and N64 including Wipeout 3, Micro Machines V3, Mario Kart, Wave Race 64, SnowBoard Kids and Diddy Kong racing, but this game beats them all.

Naughty dog did a great job on this game, just like they did on the previous Crash games.

I would recommend this game to anyone who owns a Playstation.

There's no doubt about it. "CTR: Crash Team Racing" is a ton of fun, and is the best racing game on ANY console. That's right, you heard me. The BEST.

Developed by Naughty Dog, "CTR: Crash Team Racing" features 8 characters: Crash Bandicoot, Dr. Neo Cortex (Crash's enemy), Tiny Tiger and Dingodile (Cortex's henchmen), Coco (Crash's sister), N. Gin (Cortex's lab assistant), Polar (Crash's pet polar bear cub), and Pura (Coco's pet Bengal tiger cub). You can also unlock 7 other characters who are hidden in the game: Ripper Roo (a psychotic kangaroo in a straitjacket), Papu Papu (a grumpy Indian chief), Komodo Joe and Pinstripe (more of Cortex's henchmen), Fake Crash (Crash's evil twin), N. Tropy (the master of time), and the mysterious, super-secret character Penta Penguin. Each character has his/her own special strengths and weaknesses.

The game spans across 18 race tracks -- 15 of which are named after the 15 racers (the other three are generic). Some track themes include a beach, a cave, a mine, a pyramid, a castle, a laboratory, a canyon, a sewer, and even through a system of underwater tubes!

Trust me, this is one game you wanna play. Even if you're not familiar with Crash, you'll still enjoy it. Hands down fun.

It would be an understatement to say I was pessimistic when news first came in on Naughty Dog's last Crash Bandicoot video game. Every nasty thought I ever had about the title vanished the second I popped it in. Naughty Dog has managed to keep the traditional Crash Bandicoot flavor while retaining the tried and true formula of the recent onslaught of mascot racers. (i.e. Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing and the upcoming South Park Rally) First of all the graphics are, while not as eye-popping as say, Final Fantasy VIII, still manage to drop jaws. There are more than a few nicely done effects in this game that I'm sure will leave you staring wide eyed at your television screen. Of course, like all other racers like it, CTR is packed to the teeth with weapons that aren't exactly wholly original, are exciting nontheless. Another nice feature about this game is the racing itself. Instead of putting a "deathlock" on the gas and simply navigating through the level at hand, the game requires you to actually "race", something most arcade racers don't put much of an emphasis on. Last but certainly not least, is the incredibly entertaining multiplayer mode. You'll make the best of this game by dusting off you're ancient Multitap and gathering three friends to play with. If you enjoyed Mario Kart 64 and DKR and you have a Playstation, don't hesitate and buy this game.

I had been waiting months for CTR and when it came out I was so surprised how good it was. At any area you'll feel intense. From great graphics to super sound! If you're someone new to racing games than this is a great starter game. Fans of Crash Bandicoot and the original should definetly buy this. If you don't have it - get it! Sadly the creators of the game, Naughty Dog, have finished with Crash Bandicoot games. For Crash Bandicoot 4 Eurocom is on the way!

From the creators of the Crash Bandicoot series comes Mario Kart racing for the PSX! Built on a brand new game engine, Crash Team Racing is one of the best looking racing games on the PSX, with detailed environments and high framerates. Select one of eight different characters to race across more than 20 different track in Adventure, Time Trail, Versus, Gran Prix and Battle Modes. Take your favorite Crash Bandicoot character and race him against 3 of your friends for bragging rights!

There's a new mad scientist in town and his name is Nitros Oxide and he's about to wreak his own havoc on this little island paradise. He's absolutely obsessed with speed and fast just isn't fast enough for him so he concocts a crazy idea to speed the whole world up forever!

Tune your own "wheels", pick up goodies and watch out for those environment hazards. This game boils down to pure racing fun. ...

If you like mariokart you will like this game. The differences in gameplay are miniscule. Great multiplayer fun. If you have ps2 though, you need a ps1 multitap. There are codes to unlock more battlemode stages. I like mariokart64 better but this is a more than adequete game.

Crash Team Racing is destined to become a classic. To get an exiting, never gets boring virtual racing game you don't need Mario Cart, you need CTR. With over 20 tracks, 12 characters, and a great storyline, this game is a blast for anyone. With lots of bonuses and weapons you can use to slow down other players, and speed you up, up to four players, without sacrificing the game quality, I believe that this is the best, most fun, racing game in a very long time.
