Go Kart games, specifically Mario Kart, are awesome. Why then, does the team over at Naughty Dog, completely own every Kart game prior and since? This was the last Crash game ND made, and their new series Jak and Uncharted aren't conducive to a kart game, so i think the dream of getting a kart game that's better than this is gone.
And yeah, I said it: this game is better than every Mario Kart. Better powerslide system, rewards for getting sick air, more shortcuts and track variety. Better characters too. While the nintendo pantheon is legendary, none of the characters has ever had a personality and all attempts to give them some are cursory. Crash skirts the "animation w/ 'tude" phenomenon (That begat Sonic, Bubsy, the Cool Spot and too many others) but comes off with enough well placed humor that I don't imagine the creators in goatees and year-round shorts.
So yeah, fun to play, amazing tracks, complete win. And I bought my most recenty copy of it for under $10. Why is this not on the PSN?
4 stars
