Today, according to the Eastern Standard Timezone, is the anniversary for a game that’s well… a strange racing entry in the franchise, where platforming, mini-games and racing with team clashing is all mixed into one package with crude humour on top. This one was the first game done by Radical Entertainment, who have gone later to develop Crash of the Titans, Crash Mind Over Mutant and even the cancelled Crash Landed/I Am Crash Bandicoot game from 2010.
The game in North America has now reached its 13th anniversary, which was released on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, has a Metacritic score of 66 on the PlayStation 2, 69 on the Original Xbox, 66 on the GameCube, and 68 on the PlayStation Portable.
I have the distinct memory of talking with my friend in elementary school about this game. He was telling me all these secrets and how to unlock new areas, but when I went home and tried them but they didn’t work and I got real mad at him cuz I thought he was lying. Something about using a shovel to unlock bubble land, or whatever. Turns out, he was talking about Crash Tag Team Racing, while I thought he was talking about CTR! I was only aware of CTR and CNK at that time.
