Karting game from Rare. Better that Mario kart, but I still Think Crash team Racing is the better game, although this game does have the redeaming feature of multiple vehicles while still having a story and boss battles. My main gripe is the game is repetitively long having to race every race 3 times to unlock everything (or 6 if doing Adventure 2 mode).

I actually played this game pretty poorly. It wasnt until near the end of the game where I figured out how the boost mechanic actually works, so where Im struggling in the coin/trophy races could have been damn site easier had I understood the boost mechanic. It doesnt feel right to have to let go of accelerate, turbo, then wait for turbo to run out before accelerating again.

The longplay shows Adventure 1 beaten 100%. All bonus levels and balloons collected and trophys won. I havent done Adventure 2 as its just mirror mode and slightly harder AI. Nothing more to unlock and doesnt add anything to the longplay/game.

Time Trials were played to unlock T.T. at the end, however this will be in a separate video as it would ruin the flow of the main game video and again doesnt add anything to the enjoyment of the longplay. I include as a bonus video just to show I had beaten 100% and downloadable from the longplays website.
