    I bought this game as it was £20 and I thought it might pass the time. I have really enjoyed it and think that it is perfect for the PSP gamer. Yes, it's very easy but it has enough going on to pass a train journey for a few weeks and also it is funny so keeps the whole expereince light and easy going.

    Crash Tage Team Racing for the xbox is awesome. Thsi version is BETTER. Add to that the fact it's on a handheld, co-operative wireless play, and outstanding graphics for psp, a definate buyer.

    pros: cool characters, decent graphics, racing has different modes. cons: the adventure, action, minigames or racing is not particularly fun - boring in fact. OVERALL: absolutely has no lasting appeal and fails on almost every level.

    A very funny game. I think it is brilliant how you can combine and you can race and walk.

    Good for on the go, but at home, I would prefer the PS2 version. Read my PS2 review of this for more detail, but the reason this one isn't as good is the frame rate. It can get pretty bad to the point where it's almost unplayable, but it's still worth getting if you can handle that.

    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, and this console port for the PSP lacks some multiplayer options and obviously has worse graphics and camera, so it probably really impacts on the game negatively. But... on the other hand, it's okay. I accept simple and repetitive, yet flawed experiences as long as they are fun 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.
    PD: I recommend playing the console versions since they are much better than PSP.    … Expand

    Der Rennen Part dieses Spieles ist wircklich schlecht
    Doch die Restlichen 70% sind pures Gold

    Es BUENÍSIMO, lo malo es que la mecanica de fusión está un poco rota pero el plataformeo es 10/10, por cierto, está versión en específica de PSP es la definitiva

    Crash Tag Team Racing is a thrilling racer that introduces new ideas, some succeed and some didn’t. The game is mix of both platforming and racing, you platform to the level and race hence and repeat. All tracks are unique even the music supports that, the soundtrack is a joy to listen to. Sadly there is only 8 characters which is a downgrade older crash racers had 15+ characters. TheCrash Tag Team Racing is a thrilling racer that introduces new ideas, some succeed and some didn’t.

Sadly there is only 8 characters which is a downgrade older crash racers had 15+ characters. The customization is very good with awesome karts and skins. The story is dumb but it’s expected, Also the game is very easy it’s so easy that the game becomes boring. The game also has great modes to play after completing the story mode. The new feature that the game introduces to the crash racers is going through other racers karts and joining them. When you do this feature the game becomes a cake walk and it ruins the game. Crash Tag Team Racing is a fun game has a mix of both racing and platforming but the new ideas are executed terribly but also the amount characters to play might feel a bet overwhelming. (Good 3/5) Give It A Try!… Expand

    One particular issue of the PSP version not featured in the home consoles is the intrusive load times that inhibit the pickup-and-play nature of the game, almost detracting from the seamless blend between both aspects of the game.

    The racing isn't the star of the show, and the load times are painful, but Crash Tag Team Racing's supplemental elements pull the whole thing together into a mostly enjoyable experience.

    Although the game is able to provide players with a diverse array of gameplay modes and even some surprisingly heavy platforming elements, they all eventually wear thin.
