How Metascores Are Calculated

It's a multi-player dart racing game starring your favorite bandicoot, Crash, and a host of his friends ... and foes! The stakes are high and the competition fierce. Ready ... Set ... Go! [Sony]

GamePro
Control is also nearly-perfect... The transparent controls allow you to concentrate on racing and blasting your opponents, and so the races are faster, more fluid and more fun.

The game that made kart racing cool. Nothing has ever matched its quality. [Mar 2002, p.34]

Games Domain
The graphics are mindblowing, while the gameplay is perfect and easy to get to grips with. Along with the substantial variety of tracks and the fun of the multiplayer mode, CTR is an experience not to be missed.
96
PSX Nation
Great balance and plenty of fun put this one on par with "Mario Kart" and if not for the average track design it would easily surpass.
95
Electric Playground
Just like the previous Crash games, CTR is utterly polished and addictive to a fault... That's right, you heard me, CTR is a better game than Nintendo's "Mario Kart."
94
Electronic Gaming Monthly
Heavily inspired by "Mario Kart," but still an amazing multiplayer racer. [Jan 2004, p.188]
92
Absolute Playstation
Combines all of the best elements from other kart racers, adds a few unique touches and throws out all of the crap. What gamers are left with is an exciting 2 to 4 player game and a very challenging 1 player mode.
91
Gamezilla!
The deep and challenging gameplay will have you playing this game for weeks.
91
Gaming Maxx
The best cart racing game that can be found on the Playstation, and possibly the current best on any system.
91
Gaming Age
The tracks are awe inspiring in their beauty and complexity, the gameplay is tight, and it is just plain fun. This is a game that almost anyone can enjoy by themselves or with some friends.

GMR Magazine
Countless mascot racers flooded store shelves during the PlayStation era, and Crash Team Racing was the only good one. Really. [Feb 2003, p.97]

TotalGames.net
Graphically appealing and full of great special effects and sound samples, this will enthuse any Crash fan. As a racing game though, it's just a little too slow to get your pulse racing.
85
IGN
Once you get past the insanely capitalistic smile of Crash, the game is rock solid in playability and graphics. Hell! It's a four-player kart game that's on the PlayStation. Isn't that enough?
84
GameSpot
It's a great Mario Kart clone, and it succeeds where the likes of Mega Man, Bomberman, Diddy Kong, the Chocobo, and even Mario himself have failed.
83
Game Revolution
Though it doesn't add much to the tired genre, it manages to do everything well.

Total Video Games
Crash Team Racing looks amazing. The sharp looking environments are clean and fully formed. With the exceptions of a few seam problems in the courses here and there, they are great looking.
80
All Game Guide
The only real drawback to Crash's presentation is the Dual Shock setup. You can't reconfigure your controls, so prepare to use some finger gymnastics to get your valiant road warrior to pull off all his or her moves.
80
Hot Games
Amazingly enough the four-window split screen mode works incredibly well, with each portion of the screen running in high resolution and at super high speeds.
80
Cheat Code Central Platinum
A good game, not a phenomenal game, just a plain and simple good game. Though, a little on the cute side, the challenge out weights such matters.
