Crash Tag Team Racing

"I was hoping this would be Crashes comeback."

The introduction:
I received Crash: Tag Team racing as a birthday gift and i started to have some hope that Crash games might make a comeback. Boy was i WRONG.
All this game is, is a Ripoff of Mario kart's "Tag Team" formula. Here are my thoughts on the game.

Gameplay: 4/10
This game lacks originality. The game does not require a great amount of driving skill. In fact winning a race is about as easy as connecting to an opponent shooting the others up so they aren't on your tail, then disconnecting a short while before the finish line and obtaining a cheaply earned victory.

Graphics: 6/10
The graphics look very nice and very smooth. The only problem here is there is nothing really exciting about them. Everything is bland and dull. They do not push the gamecubes capabillities and seem as if they did not try very hard on them. The graphics could have been majorly improved.

Music: 4/10
The music can get very annoying. The same music loops in the backround over and over again. They could of at least extended tunes so they wouldn't get annoying as fast.

sounds: 1/10
The sounds are ok, They seem to fit there environment. Once again, they start to get VERY annoying, hearing the same voice clip over and over again is boring and gets on your nerves quickly. Also as an easter egg, if you push A and B at the loading screen you will hear "Burping" and "Farting" noises.
This is very immature and was not necessary. Crash games used to have such great sounds but it seems as if they stopped trying in this area.

Replay value: 2/10
Once you beat this game you will not want to EVER touch it again. Once ,you have collected all the "Die-O-ramas" and unlocked all the costumes there is nothing left to do. You will end up selling it after completion.

overall: 3.4(rounded down to 3)
The game is not worth your time or money. Crash Bandicoot is not what he used to be. He has dropped highly in quality and is now immature and stupid. Crash seems to aimed at children ages 3-7. Maybe next game Crash will make a comeback, if not, well nothings good forever.
