Crash Bandicoot was a crazy ass game. It was crazy in Crash 1. It was crazy in Crash 2. It was crazy in Crash 3 (Warped). It was completely bat-shit crazy, ok? However, there was one aspect of this Playstation 1 franchise that was craziest of them all. You might call it a Mario Cart ripoff, but I don't care about that. It was one of the most fun (for other people), most exhilarating (for other people), most frustrating (for me) games ever. It was Crash Team Racing.
Have you ever bothered to look at the cut scenes for this mental-fest? Well I have, and they are insane! There is an evil alien named Nitrous Oxide (WTF?), and he has come to Earth to race against Earth's finest go-carters in a game for control of the planet. Those best racers just happen to be the myriad of characters from the Crash Bandicoot series. Seems legit.
Ok, I know that this isn't the worst game out there, but I despise it! I had a fear of this game, and it was completely warranted. The weapons were totally unfair, and the best racer rarely fucking won. It was such bullshit. A way better version of this game involved a bunch of characters that were a lot less well known, but it was the far superior game. That game was called muthafuckin' Speed Freaks. Now that was quite the children's go-carting game. CTR absolutely paled in comparison.
CTR was ok, but because it could never amount to the sheer brilliance of Speed Freaks, it will always be Just Shit.
