About Crash Team Racing

Crash Team Racing is a kart racing game featuring popular characters from the Crash Bandicoot series. The gameplay is very similar to other kart racing video games like Mario Kart: players have to choose a character and compete against the other racers on various racetracks. The story mode allows you to choose any one of the characters to complete all the main races and beat the ultimate boss Nitrous Oxide. Each of the main races are against 7 other AI competitors with 5 boss races. There are also a few arcade modes up to 4 players.

The tracks hold up better than I expected, though the rubber-banding can be brutal on higher difficulties. Solid game, just not flawless.

    Le rubber-banding brutal, ça me rappelle exactement pourquoi je le trouve surcoté à cette place.

    My kids fight over who picks the character first, every time.

    Marrant pour les enfants, sûrement, mais ça ne dit rien sur son niveau face aux mastodontes qu'on lui oppose.

    my backlog is huge but this one still gets weekend runs sometimes

    Se le nota el cariño de la gente, pero para mí está sobrevalorado en este puesto. Las pistas cortas se sienten repetitivas después de un rato, y el catálogo de personajes es limitado comparado con lo que vino después en el género.

    Les trajectoires courtes se sentent vite, oui, mais la précision de la glisse compense largement ce défaut.

    on refait ce débat tous les six mois pour ce jeu, bon, j'ai quand même passé un bel été dessus à l'époque

    Ce qui tient le mieux, c'est la lisibilité des pistes, on comprend l'objectif en trois secondes.
