Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

It saddens me that Mario Kart got more sequels than this. I thought the driving system in this was so much better. Much faster and much more skill based.

[–]everest0 9 points10 points ago

There were no sequels to this game.

RIGHT? RIGHT GUYS?

RIGHT.

CTR > Mario Kart

[–]Thefinalwerd 1 point2 points ago

Why doesn't Diddy Kong Racing ever get love?

[–]ProSoviet 0 points1 point ago

Remember wacky wheels for DOS? That shit was beautiful.

[–]Kurokikaze01 0 points1 point ago

Definitely. That game had just the right amount of tech/difficulty for a cart racer.

[–]Theditor 0 points1 point ago

at least better than Mario Kart 64

[–]fonster_mox 0 points1 point ago

Definitely. I just remember the tracks being so much more interesting and varied. So many more shortcuts and alternate routes but still balanced.

[–]screensplitter 6 points7 points ago

I'd say the three games that precede it are better, but still a good call.

[–]Jimmigill 5 points6 points ago

"CTR" is a mormon saying for "Choose the right"

[–]JaredIsAmped 1 point2 points ago

10/10

[–]thisdadisCRAZY 5 points6 points ago

WHEN MY 15th SON WAS IN MY WIFE'S WOMB, I TAUGHT HIM HOW TO PLAY CTR. NOW HE'S THE BEST EVER.

[–]petercb1991 0 points1 point ago

...?

[–]thisdadisCRAZY 1 point2 points ago

I THINK IT'S PRETTY SELF EXPLANATORY. I TAUGHT MY SON HOW TO PLAY CRASH TEAM RACING WHILE HE WAS IN THE WOMB AND NOW HE'S THE BEST EVER.

[–]Daunn 0 points1 point ago

Username. Start checking it.

Just a tip, of course.

[–]TruMooZero 3 points4 points ago

I'd say the Jak and Daxter series takes the cake.

[–]Grithoof 1 point2 points ago

I just wish this version of the game had a new online multi-player feature for psn. Would never need another kart racer.

[–]Edesto 2 points3 points ago

Crash bandicoot 1,2 & 3 > CTR All other Crash games mostly suck, because it ain't made by Naughty Dog.

[–]gingerbreaddude 11 points12 points ago

I don't know about that, I thought Crash Bash was pretty fun

[–]Levait 1 point2 points ago

Funny? I played the hell out of it!

[–]Tvilli 0 points1 point ago

Tag team crashing was very cool and i thought twinsanity was a good game

[–]SpagettInTraining 0 points1 point ago

Quick! Take all my upvotes!

[–]luft-waffle 0 points1 point ago

I liked it, especially the slightly open world features.

[–]Kromax 0 points1 point ago

Great game, that boss fight was the cheapest thing ever, but the rest was great, and it's free for PS+ users, so you should all play it.

[–]FOR_SClENCE 0 points1 point ago

But not the original series?

[–]epsilonius 0 points1 point ago

Is Crash Bandicoot 2

[–]Tomtrocity 0 points1 point ago

OOOF! MONEFAHGRENIA!!

WHY.DOES.MINE.NOT.WORK.ANYMORE!!!

[–]Dressedw1ngs 0 points1 point ago

Was the JAK series on Sony "naughty dog"?

[–]Theditor 0 points1 point ago

on Sony

I'd almost make fun of you for that, but atleast you didn't call it "the nintendo"

But yes, it was also Naughty Dog.

[–]Dressedw1ngs 0 points1 point ago

Why would I call it the Nintendo?

[–]Theditor 0 points1 point ago

Cuz you called it a vague name, reminiscent of Moms or grandmas that are out of touch with video gaming.

[–]Dressedw1ngs 0 points1 point ago

Ok

[–]leex0 0 points1 point ago

i bought this a while ago just to play it on PSP. the normal N. Oxide race wasn't nearly as hard as i remember. just gotta get in front of him, allowing you to avoid all of his BS drops, which are the hardest part. But, beating him on every track in time trial was pretty hard, but i did it. :)

[–]LazyDriver 0 points1 point ago

I remember getting this game as my first Playstation game ever...

That was... Shit, back in 1999.

[–]littlestblue 0 points1 point ago

dude, i had the sampler for this and that lil pink hair bastard that made me CUM IN MY PANTS during the of the hunting of them lil piggies and BITCHES we wanted to eat/kill back in the day...tasty lil punk-ass-bitches

[–]littlestblue 0 points1 point ago

srsly,that was a great sampler, the fps/the 3ps/the shooter that was raptor/,you bitches could choke on my cum and excitement and then STILL fail in the misery that is my glory

[–]wateermlon 0 points1 point ago

got it after so many years on psn and still can't get 100% (THOSE DAMN PURPLE TOKENS)

[–]EricTheWeirdo 0 points1 point ago

My brother sold our copy :(

[–]Wolfiexe -1 points0 points ago

[–]herooftime94 5 points6 points ago

Don't you remember what the epic voiceover in the start up said? "Sony Computer Entertainment America presents a Universal Interactive Studios Production helped by Eurocom Entertainment Software...CRASH BAAASH!"

[–]HarriotRubertson 1 point2 points ago

I don't care that it wasn't made by Naughty Dog, that was still one of my favourite PlayStation games.

[–]Mister_Meowgi -5 points-4 points ago

First, that wasn't even made by Naughty Dog. Second, it sucked.

[–]Dressedw1ngs -2 points-1 points ago

Look at the bottom left of the case

[–]Mister_Meowgi -1 points0 points ago

see for yourself... First non naughty dog crash game.

[–]Dressedw1ngs 0 points1 point ago

Sorry I fucked up lol, I thought you were talking about the actual picture! I dumb as fuck:)

[–]Chrono68 -1 points0 points ago
