this game refuses to ever take itself seriously. the entire thing is a joke and i love it. its not perfect by any means but i will forever defend this stupid game

Everyone has that one game that was 'their childhood'. This game was absolutely mine.

I remember playing this game almost religiously as a kid. The car-fusion concept just seemed so cool to me.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Also yes.

This game is the most underrated game in the whole franchise. It's my favorite none-Naghty dog Crash game close to Twinsanity

This game was ambitious. Sure the platforming is nothing like the OG trilogy and the racing is nowhere near technical and in-depth as CTR, but the game looked cool and the idea of switching Crash outfits is fantastic and i hope the next Crash game does it. I still to this day jam to some of the soundtracks from this game.

You missed that triangle in the loading screen makes a fardd sound effect...

Playing this as a kid this game was great. Guns on Cars, the loading screens were always fun and I loved the platforming and exploration. My favourite part for sure were the die-o-ramas. Tho some were really quite terrifying. And of course the outfits were alot of fun as well. The races were alright overall, but the worlds themselves as well as the music made up for it.

Finally a positive review of this game! it’s very much a guilty pleasure i go back to every once in a while each year, looking forward to more reviews! subbed before i even finished the video

This is probably the only crash tag team racing rewiew on youtube that has platforming and racing as positives and maybe the only tag team racing rewiew that classifies the game as good I only saw one other rewiew except this that doesn't say tag team racing is bad mediocre or just awful

16:26, wasn't expecting that joke, thanks for that

If case you didn’t know! On the loading screens, you can change the pitch using the analog sticks and there’s another sound for the icons you didn’t show. Additionally, for Von clutches lanes, you can jump out of the gutter by pressing X and steer using the Analog sticks. Sorry if this is two years late

While on the loading screens you could also fart, exactly, I think it was by pressind square or circle and if you pressed it while holding down on the d-pad it would be a bit slowed down and if you were holding up instead it would be rather quick I do remember playing this game on a restaurant when I was a kid and I remember spamming the buttons on the loading screen lol

The collectables, large number of interactive set pieces, character dialogue screens, unlockable costumes and vehicles, and focus on driving really shows how this game was made by the same folks as The Simpsons: Hit & Run.

I honestly don't remember at all how driving felt in this game. I always clashed with someone and I would shoot everyone until the end when I abandoned whoever carried me all the track. I certainly a loved chaos as a kid...

To be honest this was my first crash game.

I heard originally Crash Tag Team Racing had no platforming segments (or at least not to this extent) and was just a spiritual successor to The Simpsons Hit & Run. But then Vivendi complained and forced Radical Entertainment to spend about six(?) months creating worlds specifically with platforming in mind. Take this with a grain of salt, because I can't find where I got that info.

This game is a fever dream of almost 15 years old for me. I would come home after elementary school and play this with my best friend and die laughing from the farting and burping of the loading screens. I loved the ninja penguins, music, and remember the story fondly again. Thank you for reminding me of this part of my childhood ♥️

This game was my childhood! I remember how much fun me and my friend had in summer time playing the 2 player mode and teaming up. I hope this game gets a remake

The best part of this game is that it's so chaotic and there's no need to worry about balance since online doesn't exist (Soundtrack is my favorite too)

I always loved how this game ends with crash taking the car and just driving off with out crunch and coco

Hey, when I played it I was astounded that they mixed racing and platforming in one game. I loved it. It was a blast to play with friends. You did miss one thing though, Coco's infamous line.

This game introduced me to crash as a kid... and it’s been the only game I have played of his until recently, I got the N Sane Trilogy. Not because this game made me hate the series or anything, far from it. I loved this game as a kid. But once I upgraded from the GameCube to the Xbox 360, I stopped playing platformers and started playing FPS and adventure games, like assassins creed and call of duty. Good times tho. I will always defend this game. And all of its “fart on the loading screens” glory

I actually really liked the minigames in this, which is such a rare thing to say

Two problems that I always had, and especially when I was a kid, was when I was just legit annoyed that there was just nothing but Ninja Penguins to fight, and how Willy wasn't a Secret Character to unlock and he would have three badass cars to drive around with, but other than that, this game had been nothing but my childhood, and I loved everything about it. And if it wasn't for Pasadena I probably wouldn't be a furry because I was so in love with her. I think I was more interested than she was the type of girl that could fight back, and back then when I was still a kid, that type of personality never really occurred. I also loved how I felt like they tried to give you double the love of both platforming and racing, by combining the two, and especially to how some area are sneaky enough that allow you to unlock a shortcut per world for a track.

Ahh... I miss this game a lot. Wish I could play again.

This is the only postive review I’ve seen of this game

When I played this game as a kid, during loading screens, I’d spam the burp button and we’d all laugh. Fun times

As a kid I’ve played this game a lot but not having a memory card really sucked. + you can do a fart in the loading screen

Love this game with so many fun moments! The clashing into other cars ideas had me so hyped!

I loved this game :) also loving your videos. Keep up the good work, your doing a great job

I think I enjoyed the adventure aspect of the game more than the actual racing, which is ironic considering the games title.

Yes. A childhood classic

Did anyone here know that the characters had action animations when you collect powerups and press the analog sticks (R3) ...or when you stop the car ? I remember Pasadena uses her tail to fly when you get a chicken (as powerup) and stop the engine (press square) :D I loved the animation and Pasadena's design back there. Also while racing thar back mirror was a lot of help when you were able to throw stuff behind you. :D

Pasadena and N. Gin were the highlight of this game. And the music is dope.

My favorite character was the chicken commentator that changed his wig in every cutscene! Great review, brought back loads of memories. I spent hours just jumping on NPC heads and knocking them off of platforms

I remember playing this at a friends house and i have very vague memories of it, I loved the whole aesthetic of the game and im pretty sure this was the first racing game i played even before mario kart wii. I do remember the graphics being way better tho

This one of those games where I can understand, to a certain degree, why this game has it's fans who will proudly defend it. While at the same time it's not hard to also see why others, myself included, just don't get into this game very much.

Great video, also can't wait to see where you go with mind over mutant, make sure you find all the hidden mutant Heroes though.

Gotta sub to see future reviews. The two you already made were enjoyable and I’m looking forward to the rest

Willie Wumpa Cheeks! the only CTTR character not to be in nitro fuelled yet. let's hope it's not too much longer before that happens.

I love the Hoel burping and farting load time screens. they were just so funny to interact with. and if you move the left analogue stick around you can hear all these noises too. just crazy I think!

What a blast to the past, man! Such fond memories of this game. Music was bonkers but absolutely loved it

thank you for this video, this is a time travel back to my childhood; NOSTALGIA! also your review is well done, subbed.

This and Crash of The Titans was the first and only Crash Games I've ever played back then. Played it on the PSP :)

"there are these ninja Penguins and I don't know what they are" uhhh what?

I had an absolute blast with this game as a kid, and hell even as an adult now I feel like it has aged very well. I had no idea that there were such mixed reactions to this game though, I'm glad to see at least one person reviewing it enjoyed it lol

Stumbled upon your channel while also on a spree of old game reviews and one of the things you can actually notice is that even if a game didn't quite hit, it wasn't *just another cash grab* . CTTR tried to improve using the gun and shoot while giving a fun little platforming and minigames to get to races in singleplayer so you wouldn't just "win race, go to next one" all the time. Nostalgia does cloud my judgement a lot and if you tried to have an online match in it there would be no balance, but as a couch co-op or singleplayer it's a solid game. Good vid too

I used to like this game a lot until I realized that a lot of the track design was just incredibly safe and the racing itself just wasn't very fun. I feel like combat racing was realized a whole lot better, ironically enough, in jak x which was created by naughty dog themselves because not only was the car handling a whole lot more conductive to a good arcade racer, the weapons felt good to use and the track design didn't suffer for the sake of facilitating the games main gameplay mechanic. Plus, the game has one of the best soundtracks in a game period.

I don’t know why Wrath of Cortex gets so much flak, I loved that game. I liked the levels, the boss fights, and the Coco levels were great too.

Oh man, this game was my childhood. I never got tot the final space level, I was quite young and incapable. Seeing you play it is like opening a whole new world. There's all this attached nostalgia to the entire game except for that part. The music was crazy and as a child, the loading screen was hilarious.

this was such a blast from the past, v fun to revisit. great vid and analysis! will be sure to watch more of ya vids x

Honestly it is the only Crash Bandicoot game I had and itis still perfect for me. I liked exploring the open world, minigames, quests. Especially Die-O-Ramas, I thought it is the most hilarious thing ever in my childhood. I enjoyed these all even more than the races. One of the games I completed 100% on my ps2

Is this gonna be every saturday? I like the series idea, like a retrospective

love your content i actually liked most of the crash game! its one of my childhood.

finally a good crash youtuber that appreciates the classics subscribed

19:19, Suprisingly this was one of my favorite parts of the game, you could also do Farts too and when you changed the position of the left stick I believe it would change the pitch, so you would get high pitch chimpmunk Burps and Farts and Slow Low Pitch Fat Albert Farts it was Great

19:25 honestly same, cause how could I ever go back to any other game after learning what they could all have but are too afraid to commit to

Hell yeah I was waiting for you talk about the loading screens, that's the best part of the game! Lol

Damn,this game and titan introduced me to crash ,honestly it was so freakin fun to play both of them with my brother. Now there is only one to review for my childhood:Mind over Mutan :D. So ,keep up the good work :)

used to love just searching for the power crystals In the world as a kid wow thank you for this video, brings back nostalgia man

While it's not my favorite Crash game, I still like it. My favorite die-o-rama is the one where Crash spins into Chicken Stu (I think) and he smacks and kicks Crash away.

a huge part of my childhood. hearing bits of the soundtrack in the video gave me huge nostalgia vibes

i love your content. great quality and feedback. i wouldn’t mind if you would do other series :)

This was the racing game of my childhood

I think this game was trying to rival Mario Kart Double Dash with the 2 in one car ideas, as well as rival death battle racing games like Twisted Metal & Jak X.

Memories...fond memories and a very good review.

Did not expect the massive dose of nostalgia when watching this one. I know I really enjoyed the game but it must have really left a strong impression. I really want to play it again now. 🤩

Vid reaches 0:02, already thumbed it up 2 seconds earlier 😉😉😉

Favourite thing about this game was moving the left analog stick when hitting triangle or x on the loading screens.. way too much entertainment!

Thanks for this video.. lots of people talk trash about this game but I remember being a kid and 100% the game because it was so fun unlocking all the cars and outfits.

I don’t remember it fondly, but it’s nice that you have a lot of good things to say.

I played the crap out of this game, Hell I remember every bit of dialogue off by heart

This game was SO much fun that it’s actually PERFECTION.

This is one of the better Crash games. One of my favorites in the series! Thanks for the video dude!

I love how Cortex gets scared of Willy Wumpa while his closest henchman has a distorted face and a rocket lodged into his skull.

I can't help but say that they need to include that Rocket-ish vehicle that N.Gin rides into Nitro Fueled

This game was the first true open world Crash game that Twinsanity should've been.

Never played this growing up but this seems so ambitious and interesting that I imagine its underappreciated.

Something I noticed in this game, when splitting from a clashed car, you get a speed boost.. and if your character has clashed with a character from another team (crash with cortex for example), the AI will very gladly split at the last second to gain a speed boost and get 1st place alone (rather than share it with you), the cheeky bastard!

Damn I remember the chickens and me raging, good times. And I’m not a furry but Pasadena thooo....

Loved this one ,sure it's a lot of nostalgia, but while I didn't like the racing much the platforming, music, humour of the game and minigames made up for it to me. And the shooting race modes was a nice addition

The sound effects and music will forever live in my head

I played this game a shit ton on my PSP. Thanks for recapping it was really nostalgic, now im thinking about finishing the game again .😂

I wish they would remake this for the switch!

I remember burping and farting in the loading screen too, I loved this game

This game was my childhood. I remember the fart sounds you could do in the loading screen, it was hilarious 😂

The way you gave a false ending got me 😂. I was literally like 'wha?? I don't remember this?'

19:18 You can even do fart sound from what i remember

i didnt know that but you can upgrade your weapons after unlocking all the charctars cars

Hey dude, I'm just here to say your content is extremely good and I can already tell your channel will take off soon. Cheers lad and I can't wait for future videos. 💖

good new series bro, like it a lot, do more

Fun fact: if you press the circle button in the loading screen you fart. I spent way too much time with this game.

Young me loved this game

This game was the first ps 2 game i ever played.. Ps 2 was my childhood and my first ever console so i have a strong connection to it and ctr, i have completed this game multiple tines and when i'm bored of it.. I just leave it and come back a few months later and feel the nostalgia of playing this game when i was a little kid, i'm happy that a lot if people think about this game the same way i did. This game can suck and can rock at the same time, i remember getting lost at tomb town a lot back then😂. Thank you dude for making this review, i appreciate it with my heart

I just got this game recently and I've been having a blast! It's gone straight to the top of my favourite Crash games.

You can also produce farting noises during the loading screens.

The most important thing, Crunch is such a hottie in this game

I love how chaotic this game is and the die o ramas and other funny cutscenes are the funniest. The level environments are also great, plus you can interact with nina which is rare.

Ahh my favourite game of all time! I’m so happy to scroll through the comments and see everyone talking about how it was their childhood game, like me. So glad that this was a positive review, it really is one of the best games I have ever played
