Crash Team Racing is a memorable exception. The graphics in this game are striking. Absolutely no fog was used in this game, and a constant frame rate is maintained. The characters are well designed and all have a high polygon count. The game would succeed even without the Crash license, with its realistic physics and tight controls.
Every character has a unique quality which greatly enhances the replay value.
The game is filled with modes which have you coming back for more long after you've beaten Nitrous Oxide, the final boss. Items are collected by completing challenges, opening up gem cups. Once these gem cups are completed, new characters are offered. In addition, the 2-4 player battle mode is packed with features which include the ability to customize teams and available weapons. The voices, are also impressive.
