Bonus Replay – Crash Team Racing
It is a bright, new day for Replay. After outsmarting the Replay staff (and sneaking into Game Informer's office in the middle of the night), interns Harry Mackin, Dimitri Gedevanishvili, and Wayne Stainrook have taken over Replay, and we're doing things our way. The first Replay of the new regime is of course Crash Team Racing, the greatest kart racer ever made.
Crash Team Racing is a kart-racing game released for PlayStation in 1999. It's the last Crash game developed by the franchise creators, Naughty Dog. On an otherwise peaceful day for Crash and his team, an evil extraterrestrial named Nitros Oxide arrives on Earth. Oxide, who calls himself "the fastest racer in the galaxy," challenges the citizens of Earth to race for the fate of their planet. Should Crash or any of the other Earth heroes emerge victorious, Oxide will leave Earth. If they lose, however, the evil racer will enslave Earth's inhabitants and turn the entire planet into a parking lot.
In our Replay Roulette, we check out yet another multiplayer Crash game, the mini-game based Crash Bash. Join me, the newly appointed President of Video Games (or "Better Reiner"), along with my Vice President, Secretary of Video Game Defense, and unknown pizza-eating video producer for this look back at the adventures of everyone's favorite manic marsupial.
Check out some other, not quite as awesome episodes at our Replay hub.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
