    CTR is marvelous for casual and competitive players alike. Naughty Dog nailed the handling and balance of the various karts and mechanics in addition to the excellently varied and themed tracks to create endless replay value.

    Incredibly fun game, I love getting to play it with my girlfriend. It's nostalgic and feels very familiar to play for me, but I am confident any newcomers will be able to get right into it with ease too.

    This game is a huge middlefinger to nintendo and I love it.

    Gran Turismo 4 is incredible but you shouldn't leave bad reviews on Crash Team Racing because it took the first place in the ranking both games are incredible for their respective player base

    The best kart game ever even if you compared it to today kart games, the gameplay mechanic, the character, the handling, everything is perfect if you are a fan of kart games

    Crash é uma franquia a qual eu, infelizmente, não vejo tanta mídia como eu acredito que deveria ser. Esse pra mim, é/foi um jogo com características marcantes e que são divertidas até hoje. Seja nos itens que conseguimos nas caixas, nas pistas e até mesmo no carisma dos personagens.

    Countless mascot racers flooded store shelves during the PlayStation era, and Crash Team Racing was the only good one. Really. [Feb 2003, p.97]
  2. Great balance and plenty of fun put this one on par with "Mario Kart" and if not for the average track design it would easily surpass.
  3. Just like the previous Crash games, CTR is utterly polished and addictive to a fault... That's right, you heard me, CTR is a better game than Nintendo's "Mario Kart."
