Just know that they are available for CTR if you’re so inclined.įinal thoughts, if you love racing games, particularly kart racing, you’re going to love Crash Team Racing. I’m not a fan of micro-transactions, for a variety of reasons, but whether or not they work for you is your business. If you don’t have time for all that grinding but you still want all those goodies, Activision has conveniently provided micro-transactions to help you on your way.

However, I recognize that a lot of people play racing games like I play LEGO games, which is to say, they have to collect everything, unlock all the characters, unlock all the vehicles and wring the life out of the game. Okay, so that’s nostalgia since there aren’t a lot of games that allow for that kind of play these days, but CTR is one of them and it’s the best way to play in my opinion.

In this race, hazards include everything from lava pits to dinosaurs, so keep your eyes on the road! And if you can’t tell from the screenshots, the game just released its second Grand Prix season: Back N. Okay, so I’m not big on nostalgia even though I’m right in the sweet spot for that sort of marketing.Īs racing games go, this one is fun.

There were a cast of characters all with various strengths and weaknesses in how they handle on the race track. That being said, CTR, did the best job of imitating what Mario Kart did well. Crash Team Racing (CTR) was Activision’s answer to Mario Kart back in the day and was a solid response, if for no other reason that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Of course, the quintessential kart racing game is Mario Kart and all its glorious iterations. Racing games have been around a long time and kart racing in particular has a long history.
