Special shoutout to the final boss being so bad that I docked the game half a star for it alone. Even Twinsanity's barely playtested final boss didn't drag the game down that badly for me. Didn't think I'd spend 3 hours of my life trying relentlessly to beat the cheating final boss of a children's racing game, yet here we are. And a special fuck you to the bait and switch ending after going to all that effort... no credits either? Miss me with that. I've forgotten what else I was gonna say about the game which speaks to about how forgettable it is over the original. Other than that, it's an alright kart racer I suppose.
Pretty solid successor to Crash Team Racing, it plays good, settings are nice.
Unfortunately, it really doesn't feel as fast as the previous game and the antigravity sections feel like they slow you down at times.
Very glad that the game's content entirely got a shining second life in Nitro-Fueled, because this game can be hard to go back to compared to CTR and Nitro-Fueled.

A solid kart racer, definitely a step down from Crash Team Racing, but still a solid time. The PS2 was not known for good kart racers so this one stands out. The controls are stiff and takes time getting used too. Some of the level designs are not very creative and drab. The final boss is very drustrating and seems like complete RNG whether or not you will win. Still a solid game though.
