Countless mascot racers flooded store shelves during the PlayStation era, and Crash Team Racing was the only good one. Really. [Feb 2003, p.97]

Great balance and plenty of fun put this one on par with "Mario Kart" and if not for the average track design it would easily surpass.

Just like the previous Crash games, CTR is utterly polished and addictive to a fault... That's right, you heard me, CTR is a better game than Nintendo's "Mario Kart."

Great racing game for one player or for with friends. Story mode is fun but tournaments are also fun. A lot of character choice, everyone with their own attributes. Stages are filled with secrets and shortcuts. This game is perfect!!

if you take of graphs evolution is still better than Mario Kart World... this game feels like new and for the time the graphics were amazing... the story, shortcuts were so hard to find and to hit....
better weapons and better style....

The game that made kart racing cool. Nothing has ever matched its quality. [Mar 2002, p.34]

Combines all of the best elements from other kart racers, adds a few unique touches and throws out all of the crap. What gamers are left with is an exciting 2 to 4 player game and a very challenging 1 player mode.

It's a great Mario Kart clone, and it succeeds where the likes of Mega Man, Bomberman, Diddy Kong, the Chocobo, and even Mario himself have failed.

The only real drawback to Crash's presentation is the Dual Shock setup. You can't reconfigure your controls, so prepare to use some finger gymnastics to get your valiant road warrior to pull off all his or her moves.

Crash Team Racing looks amazing. The sharp looking environments are clean and fully formed. With the exceptions of a few seam problems in the courses here and there, they are great looking.

By far my favourite game of all time. I grew up with it and I still play it to this day. The best kart racing games have yet to offer, amazing replayability, easy to learn and very hard to master, very fun with friends and an amazing community (who made an online version and are currently working on a PC port).

A decent enough kart racer, but it can’t compete with the Mario Kart series in terms of characters or track design.

CTR is undoubtedly Sony's response to Diddy Kong Racing, but it's more than a shameless rip-off. All the joy from Rare's racer is successfully translated to the PlayStation and refined to a spectacular polish, with some of its own twists.

I dont understand the hype behind the game honestly. Yea its nostalgic, retro, quite fun, but in reality its like any other arcade kart racing game

Clon de Mario kart, no ha envejecido nada bien y no lo he conseguido disfrutar
SummaryIt's a multiplayer kart racing game starring your favourite bandicoot, Crash and a host of his friends... and foes! The stakes are high and the competition is fierce. Ready... Set... Go!!!!!
