Crash Has Gotten Thinner With This Installment

User Rating: 7.8 | Crash Tag Team Racing PS2
I only asked for this game because it's a Crash game. This seems to be a pretty pathetic attempt to keep the series going long enoguh for them to create something totally awesome. The game's not very hard, not very long, not very interesting, and doesn't even give you a boss to fight.

The storyline is this. Von Clutch's power gems are gone. He needs Crash to get 'em back and to find the culprit. Answer: Willie Wumpa Cheeks stole them. Crash get's 'em all back and stops Willie and Cortex. Woo hoo, yeah. Not a great storyline.

The racing rules, but why does there have to be a limit on the ammo? Vivendi seems hellbent on pushing this on gamers. There should be no ammo limit for Cortex on TwinSanity and no ammo limit in this game. That basically tells us we can't shoot around for the fun of it. Pretty dumb.

The on-foot gameplay is frequent and that's how I like it. Fortuantely, the game expands Crash's variety of humor and all the outfits. Finally Crash gets an action button. Like SpongeBob has R1, Scooby-Doo has CIRCLE, and now Crash ahs TRIANGLE.

The game wasn't great, but I recommend it for the humor and the multiplayer.
