Crash Tag Team Racing Preview

The original Crash Team Racing on the PS1 was a blast. Sure, it stole a few tricks from a certain game involving a
certain Italian plumber, but it was fun nonetheless.
Now thrashing around tracks with Crash is coming back for a second pass with Crash Tag Team Racing. Interesting (read:
trivial) note: while the PS2 version will have two player split screen multiplayer, the Xbox and Gamecube versions will
have four. Yes yes yes, your console is better than ours, blah blah blah.
Crash Tag Team Racing is starting to sound like it might bring some interesting ideas to the party (and to think, all
we expected was a bottle of scotch!), specifically, the "clashing" mechanic. You start out with a basic vehicle, but
during the race you can join up with another car to gain, quote, "mutual benefits". Intriguing.

Aint this a bit like Double Dash?
Oh well, I still play CTR, so a new version would be sweet :D

The PS2 only has 2 controller ports, stock.
The GC and XBOX have 4.
Not so strange to cater to the stock hardware. Yeah yeah, blah blah blah multi-tap blah blah. A minority buy those things.

It's coming out on the DS too, so I've heard. Gonna be awesome.

Considering Crash Nitro Karts supported 4 players it seems silly to only have 2 in the sequel.
