do you like crash, well if you do you should read about this game and see if you like it.My favorite part is that you start off with 8 cars and unlock seven.This game got realistic graphics and if you like cartoon racing games for example Mario Kart Double Dash crash nitro kart might be the game you want but I am not forcing you to get it I am just giving you information about this game,well hope you get a game that you like.

Super Mario 64 Meets Nascar

I'm a big fan of racing games, and got this one for my birthday (which, as I've said before, is a GREAT value).

This game has a storyline, but here you go--If you don't care about the storyline, it doesn't really matter that much. Just go racing!

If you do care about the storyline, you are supposed to try and escape from the evil alien (close enough) To do this, you need to win enough races to qualify to race his champions. This is where you meet Super Mario 64. In simplest terms there is a world that you drive around in which connects all of the race tracks together. You have to win at certain ranking levels before you can progress on to new tracks. There are also challenging, hard-to-get-to areas that require you to learn the car's special moves.
This pays off though, because then you know how to use them in the races, and you win more often. In the races, you get better at the moves, which in turn helps you get to more hard spots in the world map.

*****Final Thoughts*****
This is a fun game for up to four players. The basic controls are easy to learn, and the advanced controls are relatively easy to learn, but take longer to master. If you like storylines, you'll love this game. If you don't, you'll enjoy the game, but may get frustrated trying to unlock extra tracks and vehicles.

Excellent

This Game is really fun. If you want a substitute of mario kart for xbox, this game is for you. Graphics and sounds are good. Graphics are much better on the xbox version than the ps2. I don't know why people say its boring. Personall I never played the CTR, but this game is awesome.

Looks better then the gameplay

Unfortunately, this sequel to the Playstation's Crash Team Racing was a flop.

You play as Team Bandicoot (The Good Guys) or Team Cortex (The Bad Guys)in this very poor excuse for a racing game. Come on, everyone knows that when you think of kart racing your thinking of Mario Kart; so did the people at Vicarius Visions, Universal Interactive, and Vivendi Universal.(Those dudes who made that terrible Buffy game)

Audio- Nice,in game Dolby Digital A+

Visuals- Very sleek and and cartoony, perfect for a game like this. A+

Gameplay- Well, from the images and the and the great audio you would think this game would have great gameplay, well I'm sorry to dissapoint you but you WON'T be impressed. First there's the one player mode, which is an "Adventure" where you'll have to complete tedious challenges and race the AI. You have the choice to choose which character to use in each challenge or race, but they all prety much drive the same no matter what the manual says. Racing the AI players is just to easy, mainly because they don't really give up much of a fight. Then all of a sudden it's like the game kicked in to EXTRA HARD mode and the AI players are just zipping by. Very annoying.You do have a choice of of weapons, but they don't really seem to prevent you from winning. Or if your not into the "Adventure" (Wouldn't Blame You) then theres the multiplayer. There you can chosse between battle or racing other players. The battles are fun, buttle get boring FAST. The Multipalyer racing can be entertaining if your NOT racing. F

OVERALL - D+

This game is alot of fun. It is based on the excellent concept of the racing game Re-Volt.

On major problem is that the game is supposed to be in 720i format, which my X-Box and HDTV will support, but when I set my box to that format the game won't even load. This is a glitch, or the game is just 480i resolution. The graphics are good, but they aren't in 720i.
