From the Manufacturer
Game Description:
The race to save the planet has begun! Crash Team Racing is speeding your way exclusively for the PlayStation game console. It's a multi-player character racing game featuring your favorite bandicoot, Crash and a host of his friends...and foes! 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 environmental hazards. It boils down to pure racing skill! A key feature is the ability to select from eight of your favorite characters-play as Crash, Coco, Cortex, Tiny, Dingodile, N. Gin, Pura (the Tiger) or Polar. Play against the computer or up to 3 of your friends! Race across more than 20 different tracks. There are five different, challenging racing modes: Adventure Mode, go head-to-head in Vs Mode, Time Trial Mode, Gran Prix Mode and Battle Mode where you can test both your driving and combat skills. Customize your carts! Win a race, receive a Gold Wrench, and visit Lugnut's Garage for a 'tune-up'. Upgrade your carts in three categories: Tires, exhaust, and engine. Can you say Power-ups?! Augment your chances of winning a race by picking up power-ups which have abilities to help you, or slow down your opponents. There are tons of moves: Accelerate, brake, hop, and steer. Rev your engines for a 'fast start'; initiate a power skid to take corners tighter and faster; slam your brakes and slide around quickly-perfect for nailing that tailgater or cutting around a really tight corner; hit a Turbo Pad and hold a wheelie and boost your speed until you let go!

    Features:
  • Kart-style racing game, starring Crash Bandicoot and friends
  • 25 tracks
  • 12 characters
  • Split-screen multiplayer mode
  • Many power-ups to get edge on competition
REVIEW / STORYLINE
Crash Team Racing CTR  
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:
1.) Excellent kart control, including power slides, hops, and wheelies
2.) Wide tracks encourage passing
3.) High replayability, especially in multiplayer mode

Cons:
1.) Characters aren't as cute as those in Mario Kart
