    WOWEE WOW! I fxxking love this game, I just played this since years ago and I still love it! It's just like the game from PS1 and I love that one as well! I never get bored of this! The characters are playable, the levels are easy and the game is just fantastic. I don't know what my favorite character is, maybe I just played them both I guess. Anyways, no questions, I love this game.

    Una gran secuela que en su día no fue muy bien apreciada pero que con el ctr nitro fueled se le ha tomado más cariño y peso

    This Game is very good racing . This game was born in 2003 and Mario Kart Wii in 2008 , but graphics in Crash Nitro Kart better than grachics in Mario Kart Wii . In Crash Nitro Kart grqphics is very good in cutscenes and in races . In Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart many different good racers and in this game I play for Crash and Cortex . 8/10 .

    Crash Nitro Kart puede ser inferior a CTR debido a que los karts se sienten muy pesados, malos controles y falta de personajes iconicos. Pero sus puntos positivos superan a CTR como los graficos que para el año 2003 son increibles, el modo editor de arena, el multijugador con modos de juego nuevos y (muy innovador ponerlos en un juego de karts) y el rediseño de personajes que es el mejorCrash Nitro Kart puede ser inferior a CTR debido a que los karts se sienten muy pesados, malos controles y falta de personajes iconicos.

    I think this game is very underrated consider what it does. The graphics are too ahead of its time, considering that this game was released in 2003, it looks like a PS3 game! The character new designs are the best that the franchise has! Especially Crash. Man, i really want a new crash game with Nitro Kart designs. Vicarious Visions truly respect Naughty Dog, and the gameplay... TheI think this game is very underrated consider what it does.

Man, i really want a new crash game with Nitro Kart designs. Vicarious Visions truly respect Naughty Dog, and the gameplay... The gameplay is the same as CTR and personally i dont care, because the tracks are very well design and the game offers more multiplayer options. Its not better than CTR, because the developers screws some physics and controls than CTR made it perfect in the PS1. In my opinion, one of the best Crash Bandicoot games, and one of my favorite videogames on PS2. Very underrated, you will enjoy it a lot even TODAY.… Expand

    This game rocks! The tracks are really creative, and great for a mutliplayer party. Characters and karts are well designed, and the environments are totally immersive. A great social game!

    This may be a touch disappointing to hardcore fans of "Crash Team Racing", but anyone looking for a solid kart racer should be quite pleased.

    CNK offers nothing new at all, failing to really improve even on its prequel, which even back then, was pretty standard fare.

    Failed miserably in execution and you will not find me playing this game again because I just don’t think it is very fun to play.
