ABOUT THE GAME

Crash Tag Team Racing is a 2005 kart racing and platform game developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games) for the PlayStation 2 (PS2), Xbox, GameCube, and PlayStation Portable (PSP). A version for the Nintendo DS by Sensory Sweep Studios was cancelled near its completion. It is the third racing game in the Crash Bandicoot video game series, following Crash Nitro Kart (2003). The game's story takes place in a racing-based theme park, in which Crash Bandicoot must recover its missing Power Gems to claim the park's ownership. Crash Tag Team Racing was the first Crash Bandicoot title developed by Radical Entertainment, which was acquired by VU Games during the game's development; Radical would subsequently develop Crash of the Titans (2007) and Crash: Mind over Mutant (2008). The game received mixed reviews upon release. Praise went to its clashing mechanic, genre-blending approach, visuals, voice acting, and humor, while criticism went to its lack of depth, low difficulty, the execution of its platforming elements, and technical issues on the PSP version. Characters from the game later appeared in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled in 2019.
