crash is dead
You may wonder "Why is this game so bad?" Well, one major element is the characters. Or, the lack of them. Of the games 8 characters (yes, 8) only 4 were created by naughty Dog and have appeared on the PS1. In fact, 2 characters were created just for CTTR.
Also, clashing is fun but is pretty much a copy of Mario Kart Double Dash. In fact, that's what this whole game is. So good people, lend me your ears. Don't buy this game. Buy CTR for the PS1.
I usually love the crash racing games but this one fails completely. Unlike the other games you have to unlock every world before you can race in a non championship mode. In other words if I just want to race quickly without having to play an actual story mode game I can't. That really sucks, it is also difficult to find all the worlds and tasks that you are given to unlock other characters. I also do not like the tracks so far. Way too complicated, I thought the team racing thing would be cool but it is more of a distraction and makes it difficult to know where you are going. I found the other tracks from part 1 and 2 much more user friendly and fun. I feel as I play the game that I am spending more time on crashs's feet as opposed to on a cart and if I wanted to play the normal crash game I would have bought that instead! Overall not a good game at all.
