drives and the other mans a newly created turret and wreak havoc on your
opponents. When “clashed” the damage that you can unleash on your
opponents increases not only dramatically, but the precision for firing
makes it truly dangerous.
For
Crash
Tag Team Racing,
all of the weapons in the game are comedic in nature – robotic dogs,
chickens, cows… that sort of thing; and all “deaths” are quickly
brought back to life no worse for wear than a little behind in the race.
When not flinging barnyard animals like snowballs, you can earn boost by
driving aggressively (this is a racing game, not just a video version of
Death Race 2000) with drifting but you still get the most
benefits from smoking your opponents.
To
the negatives: I’m not a big fan of the need to wander around and
collect gold coins to progress through the game, it’s a tedious but
important part of the game. The loading times are way too long for a
game of this type – every zone you enter has a load wait, every race,
every mini-game, even when you are replaying the same thing! Load
screen. Annoying! The difficulty level is also rather poorly
implemented, I didn’t find the game challenging and rarely finished
less than 1st place even at the highest levels with the
difficulty juiced. Positives: Very bright and fun animation. Mini-games
are a blast! I think I ended up playing them more than the actual
racing. Crash
Tag Team Racing
is a fun game to play with younger players.
All
in all, Crash
Tag Team Racing
isn’t a terrible game, just one that tries to be a jack-of-all-trades
and master of none. It’s a decent game, one that is worth a rent.
