I have attached a Part 3 of the video where I clean up those sapphire relics making them gold to show 101% completion. The game can be completed up to 101% by getting all gold relics and even 102% by getting all platinum relics but that is too much for my lack of skills. After collecting all Relics I encounter Oxide for the final time to beat the game at 100% Part 2 of the video completed the fourth world area and moves onto the Gem cups. Part 1 of this video plays through all events and end after the first encounter with oxide. The game is probably the longest Karting game I have played through. The game is very enjoyable when playing just the race events but really does drag on when completing relic challenges and token challenges only to have to race every track again in the gem cups. The hardest to pull off is on the sewer level and I don't show this one until the Relic cleanup in part 3 (Not on Ytube) You wont see these in the initial races, but i do show them off later in the gem Cup. A couple of the tracks have a few trick shots to help cut corners or a section of the track. Initially I just wanted to blast through events to get them done, but as I progressed and got better at the game I was getting the gold medals so the start of the game just looks bad.
I never really get the hang of the slide and turbo mechanic. I am not particularly good at the game and hate time trials in any racing game especially when they are not optional and are needed for completion.
Instead I complete all events in each world area before moving onto the next eventually completing the story. I should have just run through all the races to show the story and have that as a single part and all the rest of the fluff in subsequent parts.
CRASH TEAM RACING PSX HOW TO
I wasn't sure how to best show the game and there was a couple of ways but I inevitable chose the more boring way. The game does look ok in its Native hardware aspect (after horizontal doubling). The PAL version while sacrificing some speed runs at a higher resolution of 512x236 although strangely it just seems to stretch the image instead of actually utilising it for more visibility. The 60fps ntsc region version is being played here and has a native resolution (before horizontal doubling) of 512x216. The game is quite hires for a playstation game and it does this by sacrificing some screen resolution to load in all those nice textures without excessive dithering. Relics are earned by beating certain lap times, three CTR Tokens are hidden on each track, and the special Gems are awarded to the winner of each of the five Gem Cup tournaments.The best Karting game on the PlayStation and one that stands up with best karting racers on other platforms.

Players are also free to race each course again for new incentives, including Relics, CTR Tokens, and Gems. Doing so earns players trophies, which in turn allows them access to new tracks.
The overall goal in the Adventure mode is to defeat all opponents on each of the courses. Crash Tag Team Racing is a Racing video game published by Radical Entertainment, VU Games released on October 19th, 2005 for the Sony PlayStation 2. Each power-up can also be "juiced" up by collecting fruit. A go-kart game wouldn't be complete without power-ups, and CTR features 11 different items to use during the course of play, including tracking missiles, explosive crates, bowling bombs, and defensive measures such as Aku Aku masks. Also featured on the courses are various ramps to propel go-karts through the air, and players have the added ability to hop over items found along the ground.Ī Hang Time Meter also helps players gauge how long their vehicle remains airborne the longer the kart manages to stay in the air, the bigger the turbo boost when it lands. Power-slides are used for tight turns, and players can maximize their vehicle's top speed by running over ten pieces of fruit. In addition to acceleration and braking, the go-karts can perform a number of techniques to make each race more competitive for skilled players. Players begin the tropical adventure by initially choosing one of eight characters: Crash Bandicoot, Dr. The Adventure mode is the main aspect of play, and it involves trying to beat a surly alien named Nitrous Oxide in a tournament spanning 16 races. Five game modes include Adventure, Time Trial, Arcade, Vs., and Battle. Crash is joined by his sweetheart Coco, the evil Cortex, and a combination of animal friends and dastardly bosses from previous games, each individually rated in speed, acceleration, and handling. The famous orange marsupial returns for a fourth and final game on the PlayStation, this time from behind the wheel of a go-kart.
