Crash Tag Team Racing is a worthy racing platform game. It has given a lot of charm from the previous games, especially when they would introduce us to new characters. And they're pretty solid additions. Pretty solid because Willy Wampa is a pretty pointless villain. We hear his dialogue as we enter each level and he never has revealed himself until we gotten to the final world. Stew is literally me when it comes to Willy. But he and the other characters are hilarious. N-Gin would have to be the most funniest when it comes to tier missions. The story is solidly written and has most of the materials of Crash's racing journey. The graphics are nice. The gameplay makes the game really fun to play. When you explore the park, you get to play as a character. When you get to the racing, it makes the game much more fun. Not only does it contain racing, but also other features such as stunts, battles, destroying objects, etc. And the mini games are enjoyable too. The big thing that makes this a fun game is the humor. This game is hilarious. It would contain gag cutscenes such as Die-O-Rama. Like I said, the characters have some funny moments when it comes to their dialogue for the missions. And what makes the game hilarious is the hints for the missions. Where there would contain titles where game designers seem to have fun with the hints. However, I can't say it's one of the best comedy games ever. It's not just Willy Wampa, but another issue is there can be some moments in gags and Die-O-Ramas that can be cliched and predictable. But overall, this is a really fun Crash game. If you're a crash fan and would like to play a racing game out of it, this is definitely the game to check out. It may not be perfect, but it's definitely worth for some good laughs. It's sad this was the last time in the 2000s decade where there was a good Crash game. But hey, at least it gotten better with N-Sane Trilogy and It's About Time.

Crash Tag Team Racing is a stellar addition to anyone's party-game library. The controls are slick and the competition IS REAL! Great graphics, intuitive control scheme and some beautiful stages. I highly recommend it!
Jack of all trades: The game.

This game defines perfectly the word jack of all trades. Now, thats bad? Of course no! Being perfectly balanced is not a bad thing, 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 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 be average at best, but CTTR has some quality moments. Recommended.
