The Good

Clashing concept is neat, Somehow manages to cross a platformer and a kart racer without disastrous results, Cute, colorful characters with solid voice acting, Combat and platforming aspects are mostly fun.

The Bad

Not an awful lot of challenge, even on the hardest difficulty, Multiplayer is somewhat lacking, Core racing component is kind of underwhelming.

The Bottom Line

After being humiliated yet again by Crash Bandicoot at the end of Twinsanity, Dr. Neo Cortex returns to his evil scheming in his dilapidated Iceberg Lair. He hatches a sinister plan to challenge Crash to a seemingly friendly race competition...with plans of crushing the hapless bandicoot under the ruins of the hazardous racetrack!

The sequel to Crash Bandicoot's action racing game, featuring a new Tag Team gameplay system. In Crash Tag Team Racing, players can combine their car with an opponents in mid-race to make a super-car equipped with a powerful turret gun. When clashed, players can either get behind the wheel and drive or fire an onboard weapon. Each character has his or her own uniquely deadly 360Ëš rotating turret. Players can continue the action out of the car where they can explore the entire world on foot and collect upgrades for their cars and unlock bonus tracks.

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

While the clashing adds new depth to the racing, this game just isn't as refined as it could have been.
