20 Years Of PlayStation: 20 Best Video Games So Far

15. CTR: Crash Team Racing

Here's a controversial opinion; CTR is better than Mario Kart. Just look at Mario Kart 8's big innovation of "Increased speed" - something CTR still does faster, and has since 1999. Case closed. For Naughty Dog's attempt to cross over into a new genre, they brought their A-game. Not only did each and every kart handle exactly as they should, but there was a perfect sense of progression to learning the intricacies of when to boost out of corners, how to shake off some of the more annoying tracker weapons, and when to deploy them yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egBb9QcN1pw Compliment a perfect engine with the best selection of tracks in any kart racer, a multiplayer battle mode that was endless fun and a story that took you across the previous three games' locales, and you've got an entry into the genre that's never been bettered.
