In Crash Tag Team Racing, players can combine their car with an opponent’s mid-race to make a super-car equipped with a powerful turret gun. When clashed, players can either get behind the wheel and drive or fire an onboard weapon. Each character has his or her own uniquely deadly 360? rotating turret. Players can continue the action out of the car where they can explore the entire world on foot and collect upgrades for their cars and unlock bonus tracks. [Vivendi Universal]… Expand

    No element of the gameplay is particularly mind-blowing, while in return nothing about the game is poorly designed whatsoever.

    A great game for the kids, or maybe just the kids at heart.

    Admittedly broken down into its individual aspects Crash Tag Team Racing comes up a little short, however the overall game gels the pieces together to create an entertaining experience for young and old alike.

    Shoddy camera in amusement park mode, lots of cliched gameplay. [Dec 2005, p.101]

    A competent, highly stylized romp through a fading franchise that's appealing to the younger set, not really hip enough for the teen crowd, and not in-depth enough for veteran gamers.

    A shallow racer spread thinly over other game styles. [Jan 2006, p.101]

The characters are different, the racetracks are a lot of fun and Von Clutch is my all time favorite character cause he's the funnist guy around and yes all the characters are fun to play.

It's very different from CTR of CNK, but it is enjoyable on its own. Racing in this game is not great as in the CTR (to be exact is entirely different style), but game catches poins by introducing wide variety of different challenges (bowling with chcickens for example, I mean what is in mind of von Clutch to invent this? It's both great and weird), which are super-enjoyable. There is also a rich spectrum of unlockables, which is really cool!… Expand

    This is why for some reasons, this game is amazing as hell.

    Why 10/10 ? Because it’s by far, (in my opinion) the most original game of the franchise.    … Expand

Pros: Excellent blend of platforming and racing, fantastic graphics and visuals, likable characters with humorous voice acting, and bizarre level design. Cons: Too short, too easy, hit-or-miss mini-games, limited multi-player value, no online play, and players will have more fun shooting other racers off the track than actually racing them.… Expand

    I have played this game for many, many years. It has never gotten repetitive or lame. It just keeps on getting funnier and funnier. The racingI have played this game for many, many years. It has never gotten repetitive or lame. It just keeps on getting funnier and funnier. The racing is well done for a console game of the time. The single player is also quite funny, but more short bursts of laughter. This is a great game to play with friends! Buy this game if you see it second hand in a game store, yard sale, what ever. It's just so fun. 8 Years on after getting this game. I still find it fun. Not many games can do that. But, I was quite young then so more aim this for a younger gamer like 5-10. But anyway, I love it!… Expand
