I know this game may not appeal to every group of people because:
1. Not everybody enjoys the Crash Bandicoot game series
2. There are other racing video games in the world with better graphics (ie Gran Turismo, Need for Speed)
It appeals to me because:
1. I have always enjoyed playing Crash Bandicoot games
2. It was animated, which I love
3. It was practically the only racing game that wasn't too virtual
Virtuality plays a huge role in teenage desicions these days. Often the average 8/10 adolescents would choose Gran Turismo 1/2 over Crash Team Racing because of the graphics and virtuality. Especially in the sense of the vehicle choice:
CTR has only one vehicle that you can choose (but 15 characters)
Gran Turismo has many vehicles that you can choose (but only one character)
That's my opinion.
If you see me posting, it's because I've been asked to. Which I guess would mean I'm taking requests.
