Summary

For the first time ever in a racing game, players will be able to fuse two cars together on the fly to form a super vehicle with the all-new "clashing" technology. In Crash Tag Team Racing, players can combine their car with an opponent’s 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 360˚ 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. [Vivendi Universal]

But for sheer fun and ease of play, I don't think that you can find a better game than Crash Tag Team Racing.

Total Video Games

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.

GameSpot

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.

IGN

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.

Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK

This is really a funky platformer with okay raacing tacked on. Either way, it's still lots of fun, and arguably better on PSP than PS2. [Christmas 2005, p.104]

PALGN

Crash Tag Team Racing isn't as enjoyable on the PSP, but it's a step forward for the Crash Bandicoot franchise, the game is fun whilst it lasts.

PSM Magazine

While CTTR isn’t exactly what we’d call a memorable game, it offers some decent fun while it lasts – just not much more. [Mar 2006, p.87]

Pure Magazine UK

Crash is back in a racing platform combination that is fun, but no "Mario Kart." [Jan 2007, p.72]

Eurogamer

There's a lot of game in Crash Tag Team Racing, but there isn't a lot of good game. And since there isn't really a lot of kart-racing game either, on a system that seems to have more pure racing games than any other in recent memory, it's hard to think of a good reason to tag it any other way.

It's a great game!

Greg T. gave it an8:
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. I recommend this game to anyone who just fancies enjoying a game and not looking for something to blow them away with funky new things - platforming as it should be. Fun!

Tony W. gave it an8:
Great fun but painful load times.

Crash Maniac gave it a10:
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.
