Crash Tag Team Racing known in Japan as Crash Bandicoot Gacchanko world is a racing video game published by Sierra Entertainment, Universal Interactive, and developed by Vancouver-based Radical Entertainment for the PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, Xbox and PlayStation Portable. A Nintendo DS version, which was to be developed by Sensory Sweep Studios rather than Radical Entertainment, was also to be released, but was eventually cancelled. The game was released in North America on October 19, 2005 and in Europe on November 4, 2005. The PlayStation 2 version was re-released in the three-disc "Crash Bandicoot Action Pack" compilation in the United States on June 12, 2007 and in Europe on July 20, 2007.
Crash Tag Team Racing is the twelfth installment in the Crash Bandicoot series, as well as the third racing game, following Crash Nitro Kart, which was an indirect sequel to Crash Team Racing. It is the first Crash game to have a rating higher than E in North America or a 3+ in Europe, due to the game featuring "cartoon violence and crude humor". |
