Fun for awhile, but CTR: Crash Team Racing runs over it

I really don't know how to put this into words. Well... back in August(1999), Chocobo Racing was the kart-racing style game for the Playstation. But I just realized, that, ummm... CTR: Crash Team Racing just completly kills it. Chocobo racing just doesn't have the better visuals, neither the fun or excitement. Even the tracks, which there is only 10, get kinda boring. But I'll indeed say that the "Magic Stone" idea is an awesome attribute. Also, the music stays with Final Fantasy series. ALSO, you get to control FF characters! Hmmm... should you buy it? Only if you have money for two games(which your first buy should be CTR), then give it a shot.

Feeble

Unimaginative, and not even good in comparison to other "kart" games.

The game is highly focused on picking up magic crystals on the track and using them against opponents -- for example, getting three "fire" crystals hits *all* opponents with an unavoidable fire attack.

And, frankly, what fun is that? You race well enough to take the lead, only to get hit with a cheap shot? There's certainly no place for such anti-rewards in a game aimed at anyone over the age of five, and those younger won't be able to handle the twisty tracks anyways.

Breeding and raising Chocobos in "Final Fantasy VII" was fun. Racing them around in mario-karts most certainly is not.

Really Enjoyed!

My 10 & 9 year old daughters just love it. They have played CTR & seem to love this one just as much. Same idea but different characters & powers. Great second choice for those who like CTR but can't afford it right away!

Chocobo Racing is a pretty good racing game it is about the same type of game as Mario Kart or Diddy Kong Racing. It's very fun with the story mode and all but with all the magic spells and special powers it takes away from the racing element of the game and turns it into a battle.

Better than Crash Bandicoot Racing anyday of the week!~

Awesome game with incredible graphics and movies. Crash Team Racing doesn't even compare. Crash's graphics are too cartoony and childish. Chocobo Racing is for those ready to move on to the next step. More challeging that Crash too. Keeps you wanting to play more, and on the edge of your seat. Has a story line, characters, and secrets. A must buy for fans of the Final Fantasy series. Game complete with soundtracks from the series. Again a must have!~

One of the better kart games.

Chocobo Racing is a fun racing game for people who like CTR. I have both CTR and CR and I like them both the same. You can even customize one of the characters after you beat Story Mode. I especially like the Magic Stones idea. If you like go kart games like I do, you should consider buying, or renting, this game.

Okay

this is a okay game, by far better that CTR, but the character are all the same. Theyhave nothing to differenciate them. THey all steer the same and have the speed, but they have different abilities. There are tons of different square character's which are all pretty cool. Its a good game, considering it is a simple kart game.

Chocobo Racing!

A great game.The graphics aren't the best,but the music makes up for that. The chartors are cute. The White Mage's outfit is sort of a rip of from FF4 and the Black Mage looks(or reminds me of)like a very cubby Vivi(from FF9(the best RPG EVER!) But the game is gret and all that.

5 star Game without a doubt
