Given the great game feel of this and "Toy Story Racer", it makes me wonder how Traveller's Tales bungled up the jeep in "Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex"? It's like going from "Sonic Colours" and "Sonic Generations" to "Sonic Forces", albeit not as bad as that. 😂 Did you cover their Toy Story 2 game, by the way? That game pretty much perfected the collect-a-thon subgenre in 3D platformers the same year "Donkey Kong 64" kind of killed it. Always trust the British to perfect and ruin something great simultaneously. 🤣
@@fictionalmediabully9830 oh god, that gives me nightmarish flashbacks haha I covered the Dreamcast port! Its a good game, though that version isn't the best way to play it. Hey don't blame us for Rare jumping the shark 🤣
@@Steadysphere All in good fun. 😄 Oh, right. The Dreamcast port. I didn't like that one much. It's the PS1 version I enjoy playing, due to the analogue movement being above satisfactory.
I was doing research on racing games to stream a while ago and was kinda shocked to see how many kart racers the PS1 had. There's a lot! I dont particularly care for them myself, but I'm gonna have to acquire a physical copy of this for the box art alone.
Kermit and Miss Piggy are playable characters in Disney Speedstorm. Well, Miss Piggy is technically not in the game yet, but she's supposed to be later this month. I can't wait. Disney Speedstorm marks their second time being in a kart racer.
@Steadysphere Yeah, I do wish it was just a regular priced game instead of being free to play. Outside of that, the gameplay in that game is really great.
Oh, wow. I will admit that I wrote this off back when it came out - partially because it was a licensed racer and partially because I was just finishing high school so I was "too cool" for muppets. I think I need to go back to this one, though! Also, it's kinda mind-blowing that TT's prior racing effort to this was Sonic R Also also, you can really see the DNA for the later Lego games in the stunt races, huh?
To be fair, most of the critics at the time wrote it off too, but there's a lot to like here! That is crazy to think about. And yes indeed, collect all the stuff! Even getting hidden characters haha.
Always wanted to pick this one up! That beaker loading screen where his neck keeps getting bigger is gas!
At least a 7/10 for that loading screen alone
Sounds like a great little racer, I'll definitely check this out. Travellers Tales in the 90s rarely missed!
Definitely worth a spin mate, and you aren't wrong there! Only major blunder I can think of was Buzz Lightyear of Star Command.

Don't forget "Rascal", even though that was due to Psygnosis being greedy idiots. 🤑

@@Alien_Bob there's a metric ton between the likes of CTR, Speed Freaks and way more I can't remember!

Need to try that game, looks cool though I'm not a big F2P gamer
