    But you can't deny that Crash Bandicoot's graphical qualities are one of the best we've seen from a game of this genre.
  2. No element of the gameplay is particularly mind-blowing, while in return nothing about the game is poorly designed whatsoever.

    "The old cart racing mold has (finally) been broken...make that shattered" [Nov p.87]
  4. The colorful characters and environments will thrill young eye candy junkies while the ease of difficulty will give younger gamers a confidence boost because they'll be able to see a lot of what this game has to offer.
  5. A great game for the kids, or maybe just the kids at heart.

But as a platformer/racing/vehicular combat/party game, it can be a lot of fun. Is it the best of any of those categories? No, but it can be a fun time, by a mix of ironic and genuine fun. The writing it kind of a mixed bag for me, but it can be pretty funny in some areas. Overall it does kind of feel like a cheap theme park ride, but that can be a good thing for some people.

I've had hours of fun out of this when I was younger, and still enjoy playing it on my original Xbox to this day, and hope to see Crash Tag Team Racing 2 for the Xbox360. (not Xbox 1 as I don't have it yet.) Full Review »
