    Crash Tag Team Racing looks like a rip-off of Double Dash, but it's far from it. 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 theCrash Tag Team Racing looks like a rip-off of Double Dash, but it's far from it.

    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 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

    This is hardly a racing game, but it somewhat makes up for it in the extra stuff. Like this is 45% a racing game, and 55% other stuff. I do like going around messing with other characters and just messing around in general, but the other stuff isn't really all that fun. The races can be too easy and somehow just feels more like a straight path rather than a challenging race.

The races can be too easy and somehow just feels more like a straight path rather than a challenging race. It does have some funny humor...and I mean SOME, not very much. It sort of has that Crash Twinsanity feel to it when it comes to humor. It's a fun game that could've been better.… Expand

    Following in the footsteps of other popular video game mascots, Crash gets another racing game. Tag Team Racing doesn't offer a lot to separate it from other racing titles. The controls are a little loose at times, the tracks are unmemorable and the actual racing aspect of the game is uninteresting, rather, the focus is more on the weapons, fusing, etc. These aspects are good, and helpFollowing in the footsteps of other popular video game mascots, Crash gets another racing game. Tag Team Racing doesn't offer a lot to separate it from other racing titles. The controls are a little loose at times, the tracks are unmemorable and the actual racing aspect of the game is uninteresting, rather, the focus is more on the weapons, fusing, etc. These aspects are good, and help make the game pretty exciting, but it leaves the races feeling repetitive, and no real skill or experience is required to continually win races. The adventure sections are alright, they aren't great, but they aren't bad. The game itself is relatively fun and crazy, however.… Expand

    Tag team Racing, em sí, é um jogo ótimo em questão de modo aventura, corrida, qualidade gráfica, mas saiu um pouco do foco do que estamos acostumados de ver o Crash. Mas cobrindo isso, é um ótimo game

    Well forget CTR this is different kind of racer. Diverse gameplay modes and even some platforming elements but in the the game stays very thin. if you are seriously craving some cartoony vehicle combat or a game with a good sense of humor pick Crash tag team racing.

    One of best, modern, Crash Bandicoot games. Only thing what i hate are changed personalities.. but it matters? No! Is fun and if you play multi-player, is fun for whole family!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Um this game is alright but could have been better and the story is so much worse than crash team racing. There are only 15 racing tracks and only 2-3 of the extra modes are good but I did like the open world mechanic that was a lot easier to use than twinsanity and some car design's are awesom (Crunch's monster truck anybody?) bug this could have been a lot better.… Expand

    This game defines perfectly the word jack of all trades. Now, thats bad? Of course no! Even if you do not excel at anything, since you will not have serious flaws, apart from the feeling that there are better people or "things" than you. However, i wouldnt define Crash Tag Team Racing it as the jack of all trades master of none, being that its quality in most game modes is quite good, IThis game defines perfectly the word jack of all trades. Now, thats bad? Of course no! Even if you do not excel at anything, since you will not have serious flaws, apart from the feeling that there are better people or "things" than you. However, i wouldnt define Crash Tag Team Racing it as the jack of all trades master of none, being that its quality in most game modes is quite good, I would even say that it is a game... very refined in a lot of areas... well , removing certain filler minigames and that the car fusion mechanic needs some polish, everything in the game is quite good, the exploration, immense amount of content, INCREDIBLE graphics for the console (like almost all the games in the series), in some way even is revolutionary. Although is very monotonous and sometimes it seems rushed. But... on the other hand, it's okay. I accept simple and repetitive experiences as long as they are polished enough, and Crash Tag Team Racing despite its repeatability (which is sometimes extreme), manages to entertain a while and offer an enjoyable repeatability. This is surprisingly one of my favorite Crash post ND games. Although it still maintains the humorous tone of Twinsanity that I quite dislike, surprisingly the comedy of the game I enjoy it more. Although it has many silly jokes, the dialogues of the characters both within the game and in some cinematics were fun and memorable. In short, Tag Team Racing is a very good and underrated game, which could still be better, but there were a few things missing to polish. Of all the jack of all trades type of games i have ever played, i would say CTTR is the best since this types of games tends to have so many gamemodes than are average at best, but CTTR has actually some quality moments.… Expand

    Mini-games are a blast! I think I ended up playing them more than the actual racing.

    While the racing is good rather than great, see it as just part of the game's charm and CTR makes for a fun family treasure box. [Apr 2006, p.100]

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