    Absolutely fantastic, except for the hitbox in the relics trials. Damn them! But the game is absolutely everything we ever wanted and needed, and the fact that they planned more original tracks, players and contents coming through the next months is amazing. I love it.

    Much like the N-sane trilogy, this Crash remake successfully redoes the original with adding more content, better graphics, and online play.

    Ele é um remake do Original Team Racing lançado para Playstation 1, porém o game conta também com todas as pistas, arenas e personagens do Crash Nitro Kart. Além do conteúdo vindo do CNK o game implementou skins para os corredores, novas animações de pódio e diversas opções de customização visual do kart.

    O game peca em rodar a 30 FPS em todas as plataformas incluindo o Xbox One X, alguns bugs como paredes invisíveis principalmente, mas o principal defeito é na parte online do game, na qual se perde mais tempo no Lobby esperando e buscando partida do que correndo, isso sem falar na falta de opções de modo de jogo, pois é apenas corrida padrão e não se pode customizar o tipo da corrida, nem fazer campeonatos e etc. Além desses problemas foi prometido que o game não teria microtransações, mas meses depois acabou chegando ao game a opção de comprar moedas no game com dinheiro real, o que na verdade não é um problema pois é possível farmar bem essa moeda, o problema maior é eles venderem o Kart Firehawk pra vários lugares e não disponibilizá-lo na PSN BR, e também tem um kart inteiro exclusivo de promoções de Trident/Sour Patch nos EUA, faltando com respeito aos jogadores de outros países.

    Pra compensar todos esses defeitos o game trouxe algo incrível, todo mês ocorre os Grand Prix, eventos esses que adicionam ao game novos personagens, pistas, itens, skins e etc. O game ultrapassou a marca de 50 personagens jogáveis, e dentro disso a Beenox mostrou realmente entender bastante o que se passa na comunidade de Crash, trouxeram personagens bem queridos e obscuros da franquia Crash, muitos easter eggs, resumindo muito fanservice pra deixar os fãs mais fanáticos loucos, os caras deram vida a personagens que só apareceram em jogo de GBA, celular e até em concept art. O suporte em conteúdo que eles estão dando pro game mensalmente é algo surreal, games de corrida do Sonic e principalmente do Mario nunca receberam um tratamento desses.

    Com isso CTR Nitro Fueled não é apenas um game de corrida de Crash, mas sim uma grande celebração da franquia Crash, e espero que futuramente venha um modo pra podermos visualizarmos os modelos dos personagens e ler informações sobre eles, como quem são e onde apareceram, pois muita gente não conhece todo o universo de Crash e conhece apenas os 3 primeiros games.    … Expand

And for anyone who wants to be the best on every track, theres more than enough time trials to keep you busy for a while.

    Purchased on day 1, and can't stop playing whether solo or in 4-player local coop. It pushes you to refine your reflexes and insanely fun at the same time. Difficulty and challenges are not frustrating, and the mechanics are quite easy to adapt to.

    Had to rate it down to 9 due to a bug which remains unfixed.

    8.5/10 than 9/10

    “Start your engines! A Sony Computer Entertainment Europe/ America Prodution! Fasten your seatbelts for another… Naughty Dog… creation!” I apologize to everyone who is reading this review, because I couldn't resist adding a bit of nostalgia early on, just as I cann't dislike the voice of Clancy Brown (who was the voice of Cortex).

    “Start your engines! A Sony Computer Entertainment Europe/ America Prodution! Fasten your seatbelts for another… Naughty Dog… creation!” I apologize to everyone who is reading this review, because I couldn't resist adding a bit of nostalgia early on, just as I cann't dislike the voice of Clancy Brown (who was the voice of Cortex). It's the first thing I remember every time I play Crash Team Racing on my old PS1.

    After Team Sonic Racing, here's another kart racing game in 2019. And unsurprisingly, some are hesitant whether to buy Team Sonic Racing or this game. Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled is a remake and not a remastered version of the title that came out more than 19 years ago for PS1, and is developed by Beenox, producer who developed some Spider-Man games in the previous generation, as well as was responsible by the remastering of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

    What about the first impressions of this game? As soon as I started running on the track "Crash Cove", throwing power ups in a dirty way for our opponents and listening to the remixed music, I said this soon: "Ah, I'm back to 1999." The gameplay is smooth and intuitive , but at the same time challenging due to the boost system through power sliding. Of course, in this Nitro-Fueled there were not only visual changes and scenarios. Dynamic animations have also been added to the characters and more objects around the tracks to make them even funnier and more alive. In addition, the game has as a positive point the tracks and arenas of the not very famous Crash Nitro Kart. For those who played this classic title, some anti-gravity sections of certain tracks had to be modified or removed, because in this Nitro-Fueled we used only land vehicles.

    In adventure mode we have two choices at the beginning: Nitro-Fueled or Classic. In Nitro-Fueled mode, we can choose difficulty (Easy, Medium and Hard), change car or character at any time on the map, as well as we can customize them. Winning trophies, relics, CTR coins, gems and defeating bosses are things we will do in adventure mode. Each time we win an event, we gain, in addition to skins and characters, Wumpa Coins that can be used in pit stop. Too bad that offline events don't offer as many Wumpa Coins as online events. I also didn't like the work of John Dimaggio, who did with Uka Uka's voice on this Nitro-Fueled, compared to Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy.

    In addition to the characters that were playable in the original 1999 title, such as Crash, Coco, Cortex or Tiny Tiger, characters from Cras Nitro Kart such as Krunk, Small Norm, Big Norm and Nash are also included. Even Nitrous Oxide is playable. And he can count on more characters, including Tawna and Spyro, in the near future. Each character has a different driving style from each other. For example, Crash has balanced stats, while Polar in the lack of speed compensates in the agility of the kart. In addition, we can also buy karts and skins for our characters and, strangely enough, there are no microtransactions.

    Limit Battle, Capture the Flag, Crystal Grab, Last Kart Driving and Steal the Bacon are the options in Battle mode that we can play against AI, as well as against our friends locally, or online against other random players. Not as fun as the traditional races, but it has its charm. Victory animations are no doubt more lively and comic.

    Moving on to an important component and little has been said since the game was announced: the online. It's true that running races or battles against other players is exciting, electrifying, exciting and exciting, but despite that, the lack of features in this mode is evident. There are no leaderboards and either in Matchmaking or Private Match, there are no Cups. There are no Ranked matches and, unfortunately, victory podiums aren't present either. This is something that Beenox must look at in the future. That said, it is worth mentioning the long-term planning of additional free content through the Grand Prix mode, which will see the regular addition of new characters, clues and cosmetic items.

    Power ups are faithful to the original game, but some of them need fixes. As for example, on rare occasions, receiving Aku Aku or Uka Uka while we are in 1st or 2nd place is something that does not make sense. The guided missiles also have small bugs, and the same goes for the aim when we are being shot by some missiles. But despite all this, the game is incredibly exceptional. The remixed songs and sound effects of the game are very good. But if the user does not feel satisfied, you can go to the options to change the songs and sound effects for Legacy Music. Yup, that's right; music and effects totally the same as the 1999 version. In short, if you like kart racing games, Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled is totally recommended to you.    … Expand

    First of all, I want to say that all the 1/10 scores added by review bombers months after launch are entirely done out of principle, rather than a reflection of the game's true quality, and in my mind are a disingenuous look at the game overall.

Let's be honest: most people who stop by a game's metacritic page just to leave a 1/10 score, can't be trusted to have even played the game to begin with.

    CTR Nitro Fueled is a faithful and lovingly made recreation of the original classic on PS1, something most fans of the original can agree on. The controls are spot on, the visuals are gorgeous, and all the charm and magic of the original is there. Furthermore, Beenox went above and beyond what would be expected of them for a remaster: they didn't need to add all of the tracks and characters from the game's sequel: Nitro Kart, or to finally make Oxide a playable character, or to add six months of content updates long after launch. All of these make the game better than could've been expected, and add life and longevity to a game that otherwise would've died online soon after launch.

    Not to mention the fact that content updates have consistently addressed issues with the game: things like adding the wumpa coin bonus offline after fans asked for it, implementing engine swap to make all characters online viable at last, and many bug and shortcut fixes all come to mind.

    While adding microtransactions after launch was an undeniably shady move, and yes the game can feel grindy at times, all of the content from the original game, and much more, is available right there from the start without any requirement to unlock, meaning fans of the original will find the game they remember from the getgo, and can then dive into the game's online and grand prix modes at their leisure.

    Make no mistake, while not perfect, CTR: Nitro Fueled is an excellent and content-rich remaster that has only gotten better over time: Beenox deserves full credit for the great work they have put in, and I'm writing this review to let you all know the truth: that this is a great game and one you should take a look at.    … Expand

    Crash is not dead yet! This is a great racing game that almost lives up to the first one. The tracks are great, there are tons of characters, and great content. It's almost as good as Mario Kart even. The online is on par with Nintendo's though. It's a great game and it's better than almost all of Kirby's games.

Me gusta mucho la gran cantidad de contenido que tiene, los gráficos y la jugabilidad en si. Lo que si puedo criticar son los controles y las físicas que no se sienten iguales. No me voy a quejar de la dificultad, ya que es dominable el juego. Dominándolo se logra. La dificultad era algo que para mi, le faltaba al Crash Team Racing original, y este lo hace bien, pero cagaron las físicas y los controles, ademas de haber input lag, lo que sube mucho la dificultad en las primeras pistas y se vuelve algo injusto, pero unas horas de juego sirven para que te acostumbres. Las Grand Prix son un gran añadido y agradezco a Beenox por traernos a personajes que jamas pensamos que hubieran estado (como Yaya Panda y Spyro). Los tiempos de carga largos. No se si esto pasa en las demás versiones. Bueno, esta es mi opinión personal... por lo que si no la comparten, de acuerdo... Pero darle un 1 o un 0 solo por los micropagos me parece una exageración...… Expand

    If you've ever owned or played the original Crash Racing games, this is a must buy. Not only is it a clean and action packed kart racer but has tons of content to keep you crashing and have "Oogida Boogida" stuck in your head for hours upon hours. Developers promise more free tracks, carts, characters etc. so this is well worth the purchase price.

    Activision presents another smashing blast from the past! Yes they did it again, they remade an old but gold game which we loved as a kid when growing up. They brought in a refreshing touch while the option to keep it all classic is still there. CTR will keep you young at heart and will give you hours of fun, even when you are done with adventure mode, there is still the online part to explore.

    Surprisingly great mario kart clone - but I think it’s better than Mario kart with more varied interestingly themed tracks and good graphics. Sure, the characters aren’t as iconic and well known as the Nintendo classic but I can look past that.

    Yes, the addition of purchasable Wumpa Coins are a pretty big negative, not to mention highly unnecessary. But then again: Beenox including all of the content from Crash Nitro Kart on release was unnecessary. The 8+ months of free updates were unnecessary. The sheer amount of extras and bonuses on top of the core remake were unnecessary. Activision's monetisation shouldn't detract from the quality and value the game DOES offer.

    All in all, I would wholeheartedly recommend you check this one out, even if you have never played the original CTR from 1999. It's a kart racer with enough scope and polish to rival Mario Kart (even surpassing it in some regards), and especially worth your time on PS4 and Xbox One, due to the drought of decent kart racers available on the platform.

    Is Nitro Fueled perfect? No. The game has its fair share of flaws. But there is a lot to love here, and CTR: Nitro Fueled offers a little bit for everyone.    … Expand

Hell, it even feels weird to say that it's been three years since Sony announced during their excellent E3 2016 press conference that Crash would be making his return on the PlayStation 4. What a fun time that was. Anyway, the news of Crash's return had gotten me excited, and I was so happy when I finally got to play and beat the "N. Sane Trilogy" and I was so excited with how faithful the remakes were. And after that game came out and became a huge hit, there was just one more thing everyone seemed to be clamoring for: a "Spyro" remake. Wait...okay, there were two things, because we got the "Spyro Reignited Trilogy," but there was another thing that was asked for quite often: a "Crash Team Racing" remake. And why not? Even if I wasn't madly in love with the original title, it was certainly a nice game and it was also Naughty Dog's final entry in the "Crash" series, why not go out with a bang? You remade the first three games, why not just remake the last one for the hell of it? Plus, it might be fun to re-experience the game, so about it, Activision? Well, they made it happen, and decided to give us a little more than we expected: not only did they remake "Crash Team Racing," but they added basically all of the content from "Crash Nitro Kart" as well as some content from "Crash Tag Team Racing." Talk about love in a remake.
    "Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled," as I mentioned, is a huge game: the main story mode won't take you too long (I beat the main story in about 4 hours spread across 2 sittings in one day), but completing the bare minimum only accounts for about 38% of the story mode, given that there are so many challenges and relics to collect, and again, the game gives you essentially all the content from "Crash Nitro Kart," meaning that there is still plenty of game here. But for all the content in the game, is it fun? Absolutely. "Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled" is a fast-paced, rip-roaring time that's smooth, beautifully-designed, challenging, and interesting to control. The game's drift mechanic might take you some getting used to, but once you get it down, the game just becomes that much faster and more exciting. It's also great to see that this is a remaster that so perfectly captures how "Crash" as a series is supposed to look and sound, and beyond the aesthetic and sonic bells and whistles, it's great that it brings the game to a modern era with necessary changes while not forgetting what the original game was.
    Unfortunately, this remaster (or "Remaster Plus," if you will) is not without a few drawbacks: for starters, much like the "N. Sane Trilogy," load times can be a little on the long side here. They're not the worst in regards to video game loading times, but they're certainly nothing too great. Beyond that, while the main story mode is varied and fun in spite of its short length, the difficulty spikes can be a bit frustrating. Sometimes you'll get a really easy level after an extremely challenging one, and it feels like the difficulty wasn't balanced all that well (and don't get me started on some of the boss battles). Also, this isn't a huge criticism, but I would say that, if you're new to kart racers or haven't gotten into them, this one could be kinda difficult to get into because of the handling and the drift controls. They're challenging and work well once you get them down, but you might want to start with a slightly easier kart game before jumping head-first into this one.
    Still, whether you're just a fan of kart racers or someone that loves the "Crash" games, "Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled" is a remake/remaster done right, and it's an amazing love-letter to the "Crash" racers of yesteryear. It brings them into the modern era in a beautiful way, and if you were heavily anticipating this game (like I was), you won't be disappointed. Activision, you guys did a rock-solid job with these remakes, and now that Crash is back for a new generation, perhaps it may be time for a new wholly original "Crash" game. How about it?

    I was expecting the microtransactions to be way, way worse than what they turned out to be. This game is still great and playable regardless of Activision's lies. Just don't pay for the microtransactions. It's not like they give you an advantage in the actual racing gameplay anyways.

    "Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled" was a video game that every lover of nostalgia and childhood games wanted to have, now with a very good design improved by remastering, more tracks, car designs and more characters to unlock the experience feels more complete, a point in favor of nostalgia.

    Noobs to the series should start on the Easy difficulty because there is a steep jump from Easy to Medium which I'm at atm. You can unlock new skins for every racer through wins and CTR tokens or you can purchase them with in game currency (no real money is needed to unlock).

    Online right now is broken. I couldn't find any games at all, hopefully they will fix with ranking matches and leagues in the near future. Hope they create online teams (guilds/clans) where you can rack up points for your team through races.

    There are many tracks included all themed on the Crash series. Similar layout to Mario Kart with power ups, turbo pads and jumps. You can get additional turbo boosts from higher jumps and drift combos.

    All characters from the Crash series are here, some have to be unlocked. All have their funny animations and one liners. My kids love Pura and Polar the best.

    Overall a fun action filled game to play with family split screen atm until they fix the online issues.

    It's a 7 due to this issues but I'll know it'll be ironed out soon so I'll give it a 8.    … Expand

    El juego es difícil como fue el original, entiendo que mucha gente devuelva o revenda el juego frustrada y le de una mala nota, pero en mi opinión es de los juegos de conducción con la curva de aprendizaje y de dificultad más gratificante que he llegado a jugar , porque cuando llegas a entender como funciona el hypernitro y aprenderte cada circuito para sacar décimas de segundos al marcador es una sensación que ningún juego me ha dado.

    Si jugaste al original te harás rápido otra vez pasándote el modo aventura y después probando desafíos, pero si eres nuevo te recomiendo que hagas y pruebes los nuevos modos que han hecho para la gente nueva: como la carrera de anillos y otros tipos de carreras en las cuales el juego te ofrece caminos y ventajas. En general modos para que te hagas una idea de como ganar en carreras normales con facilidad y pasar a los desafíos si quieres hacerlos

    Y SI tiene micropagos, pero me parece absurdo el review bombing que le han hecho a este juego, cuando tienes 3 diarias que te dan monedas del juego, semanales, mensuales y desafíos personales para desbloquear personajes, skins o lo que quieras, Al día perfectamente sin ni siquiera mirarlas te compras un personaje nuevo. Y eso que yo no he jugado online, solo he completado los timetrials la historia y lo necesario para el platino, pero si vas aposta a conseguir monedas me imagino que puedes llegar a conseguir como 2 o 3 personajes al día, y luego ya solo compras skins con las monedas que consigues (Aparte dato importante, si juegas los fines de semana, ya que es un juego para niños todo lo que ganes se multiplica x2).

    En resumen, al igual que dije con el Gwent no es necesario pagar nada en el estado actual del juego sea lo que sea que quieras conseguir. Y más siendo un niño, dedicándole más horas conseguirá fácilmente casi todos los personajes y poco a poco las skins sin tener que pagar un duro.

    Muy muy recomendado eso sí completarlo todo es jodida mente difícil.    … Expand

    Best kart racing game in any platform (in my humble opinion). This remake looks beautiful, controls are responsive and no two races are the same.

    Couch co-op with split screen works amazing (not many games have this alternative anymore).

So basically it's almost three times as many levels as the original, with just about every crash character available to play, including an unlockable crate character. They even added a couple more vehicle specs, which can be adjusted for any vehicle / character.

    I do have some complaints: Some of the newer characters are forgettable and unnecessary. Getting all of the coolest looking stuff is a bit grindy. And the out-of-bounds is occasionally a bit of a hard line, feeling unnecessarily strict occasionally.

    But aside from that, this is far from a disappointing version of CTR and I'm glad I bought it.

    - the costumization is somewhat deep, with alot of karts, skins, paints and so on. - Adding all CTR NK tracks was the best idea to    Im really enjoying this game but theres few misssteps in this game. I'll start obviously with the pros:

    - the costumization is somewhat deep, with alot of karts, skins, paints and so on.
    - Adding all CTR NK tracks was the best idea to have more tracks, and are also well done and designed.
    - 10/10 Nostalgia feels.
    BUT
    here's all the cons from a advanced player prospective:
    -physics obv are different, and so are jumps, collisions, hitboxes and so on. I know that is likely hard to keep everything like the original, this is a minor con and you have to get used to it.
    - Some tracks have a really BAD collisions or poor design decision like the Sewer track where you can hit the pipes at the sealings if you jump too high or going too fast; also the shortcut is really buggy.
    - We're in 2019 now, I dont like the idea characters are stricked to default stats... Id love to play other characters but their stats are very bad and Im used to advanced chars... Id like to play Tawna with the same feeling I'm playing Ami, Crunch and Peta Penguin.. So make the player decide with stats preset use for each character.
    - ONLINE EXPERIENCE IS KINDA BAD. Lag because this game is based on P2P and to avoid having too much lag, the matchmaker looks for players near you, physically. Lobby crashes too often. Items , weapons and so powerup need a whole rebalance because at their state, theyr good only for single player and with other 3 players locally. Having 8 players spamming stuff is tremendously annoying.
    - So no skilled based matchmaking, If youre really good at the game, you're gonna win very easily and casual ppl will eventually quit the lobby(MAKE A SKILL BASED MM, REMOVE THAT P2P CRAP).
    - And finally, I dont like the way the gran prix is introduced. At first I was very excited but soon i realised that is just a way to grind ALOT to get all the rewards and even its leaderboard is based on GRINDING and not rewarding the player skill. I know why they do that: they did it because otherwise most casual players might abandon the game too soon by the frustration on not feeling accomplished to get the unlockables or simply the gran prix top 5% reward. IMO they should introduce a ranked sort of system where if you dont get atleast 4th place, youll lose trophies, making a more competitive grand prix and not a grinding fiesta.

    Overall the game is well executed , brings back the nostalgia and adventure mode is very enjoyable, but the online experience is too damn bad and also for time trial leaderboards, fix those goddamn glitches wich makes you finish the race in less than 30 seconds!!!

However, it might be that over the years we've gotten more used to other types of gameplay that it seems as though some things just aren't going smooth enough. At times I find the controls kinda of chucky and unresponsive or at least there seems to be some sort of input lag. I'm unable to recall if that was there in the original. Overall I'd give this game an 8 or something BUT

    there is 1 thing that is absolutely unforgivable for me: this game is, let's be honest, a glorified port of a 20 year old game... still I'm looking at loading screens more then half my playing time it seems??? It takes 30 seconds to load a race and then 30 seconds to get back to the menu??? Considering most races take like 2 minutes tops that is an absolute joke!

    I'm not even factoring in the microtransactions in my score... if they indeed implemented them after release and most official reviews were out that is a disgrace.    … Expand

    I was a playstation kid, but I still managed to never play the original crash team racing
    So I have going for me what most playing this game don’t…
    The lack of nostalgia blinding me for what this game ultimately is..
    Crash Team Racing is an okay kart racer with greed killing its ultimate fun factor.
    Im a huge fan of kart racers, im a huge fan of crashbandicoot, so I want into this game wanting to love it..
    Ive heard so many good things about the original, so much so that I bought thep laystation classic version to one day play it, only for months later get smacked with the announcement that rthey are remaking the original much like the crash collection…
    And quite frankly this should’ve been included in that collection, because by itself its not special enough in present day 2019 to justify a standalone release.
    The tracks are boring, the racing is slow, the pick ups are lame, the adventure mode takes a measly 3 hours to complete, and everything is hidden behind a pay wall…
    Kart racers I get are meant to play over and over, do chllenges, unlock characters and skins, but greed got in the way of nitro fueled…
    the tiniest unlockable like a wheel or color scheme takes a ridiculous amount of coin to unlock for how little you earn from completing races… killing the potential hook of racing over and over, doing all of the challenges to get that quick rewarding feeling of progress,Oddly enough this is my biggest gripe with this game..
    I may not have the rose tinted glasses everyone else has, but I can be forgiving when it comes to this game feeling dated… it’s a remake of a 20 year old game… its okay that the control scheme feels unintuitive, its okay that the tracks aren’t spectacular.. because back in the day these tracks were full of life, the control scheme was perfect… its sad to me that the modern day aspects actually take away from the potential greatness of this game.
    I want to earn my characters and gear,
    I don’t want to pay for them, and I don’t want to grind for them.
    But that’s the reality of Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled.
    Youre rewarded at a slow pace playing a dated kart racer to try and force money from your wallets.
    I don’t have the nostalgia whispering in my ear telling me the sweet lies of this is the greatest kart racer of all time.
    The racing, the tracks, none of it could keep my attention barely long enough to get through the 3 hour campaign let alone grind for hours to get a new paint job.
    There is some positive here though, this is a beautiful remake of a playstation one game, the tracks look beautiful…
    Im so happy that the campaign manages to keep them fresh throughout, rarely repeating aside from boss battles as you prove yourself to be the fastest racer in the world…
    I do wish however you chould change the difficutly settings mid adventure instead of having to start a new one completely…
    Or better yet, have the difficulty of the races increase as the campaign goes on, rather than set every race as either easy medium or hard and deal with that throughout the entire 3 hours.
    This keeps the campaign feeling stale and flat, instead of exciting and challenging.
    I would love to see crash come back with a crash 4, and this team tackle an activision kart racer with the knowledge obtioned by going back and playing with these classics…
    And while doing this.. seeing the flaws, seeing where they can improve instead of pretending they are perfect like everyone else does

    Bought it since I've never played it all 20 years ago and just for the story mode which was a lot of fun and pretty challenging. It is a great remake of a classic, but I have to give it a 6 out of 10 just because of Activision shoving in microtransactions weeks after launch. Was interested in playing this game online, but now I clearly see a reason not to get involved. It's such a shame.

    when Naughty Dog made the original Crash games, they were aiming for a specific age group, they grew up and now Naughty Dog are making games for that same group, i'm never buying a remake ever again.

The old frustrations, bugs and confusing balancing issues are still present. And now it also includes an in-game store! Skins that you can either buy with in-game coins, or that you can buy with real money. Once again Activision shows that she has no problem with corrupting the integrity and quality of a game to sqeeuze some extra money from people. It is pathetic.

    Story:
    Lets be honest here, what are you expecting from a Mario Kart rip-off game about driving silly cars? It's goofy and silly, and it's alright.

    Gameplay:
    The game is clearly a Mario Kart rip-off, but due to taking the Crash bandicoot universe as the skin it has enough inspiration to make it something on its own. Unfortunately like with most ripp-offs, it has some issues. While the basic controls and mechanics are fine, the sliding and releasing of the nitro seems poorly implemented. Releasing your Nitro will either do too little, or way too much. The NPC's seem to recover more quickly from being hit with weapons, and are somehow faster than your driver even though their stats are slower. When you pick up a weapon box, you are spammed with bottles and TNT crates, while the NPC's get showered in bombs and homing missiles. The balance seems to be unfairly in their favor.

    Difficulty:
    Already a problem on the PS1 version and seemingly untouched on the PS4 version, the difference between Easy and Normal is mindblowing. While playing on Easy it is like your are competing against retards. But as soon as you bump it up to normal, they turn into Formula 1 esquire racers with dead-eye aim. They spam you with bombs and missiles while you are wrestling with the frustrating driving controls and get bottles and TNT... Great...

    Upon playing this i realized how frustrating i used to think this game was, and now i'm reminded. I give it a 6/10.    … Expand

    One of my favorite sub-genres in video games is the fast, arcade racer. All racing games are addictive by nature to me, but if I were to judge racing games as a whole based on one characteristic, it would be sense of speed. The bells and whistles of the game are nice, but if a racing game doesn't feel fast and impactful, it hurts the experience.

    Case in point: the entire Mario Kart series. The passive nature of the drift boost in Mario Kart puts a low ceiling over your skill level. You can only get so good in Mario Kart before that blue shell sends you spiraling back into the middle of the pack. Everyone knows Mario Kart, and there's relatively few skill levels separating a total novice from someone who's been playing Mario Kart 8 from since it first released on the Wii U. It's the most casual, simplistic racing game on the market, and yet it garners widespread acclaim. Commercially, I get it. Mario Kart is and always has been a decent-to-good racing game with a popular multiplayer experience. It also pioneered the kart-racing sub-genre and hasn't relinquished that lead despite superior kart racers being released over the years, particularly in the late 1990s. In those days, two kart racing games could credibly claim superiority over Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64: Diddy Kong Racing on the Nintendo 64 and Crash Team Racing on Playstation.

    Each game boasted superior senses of speed, vehicle weight, and track design to anything that existed in Mario Kart to that point. They also featured a robust single-player experience that took the player through everything the game had to offer. While Diddy Kong Racing was indeed an exhilarating experience, Crash Team Racing upped the ante by inventing a new style of drift boost that elevated the game's fun factor and depth to levels fan above Mario Kart's peak, regardless of which game in the series you can pick.

    Crash Team Racing is a kart racer for gamers. It's accessible, but less so than Mario Kart because you aren't guaranteed to be competitive in your first ever race. The remaster, specifically on PS4, is a feast for the eyes and ears. I like its art direction, which blends reality and fantasy, more than that in Mario Kart 8. The lighting is more vivid and dynamic, and road and dirt textures are gorgeous. There are plenty of extras, and more is and will be added for a while. For me, Mario Kart features tend to plentiful, but not great. It's exciting to earn rewards in this remaster of Crash Team Racing, and I hope that continues for a while. The zany natures of many of the game's characters (you start with eight and unlock more by playing) also lend themselves better to kart racing than the oddly more muted characters in the Mario universe. Tawna Bandicoot, for instance, is hilariously voiced, and I love her so much.

    I gave this game a 10 in attempt to drive home how this is, in fact, a better kart racer than Mario Kart if accessibility is no issue to you. Even then, is accessibility that important when judging games? I feel like that should be a notable feature when you want to get a bunch of people in one room playing a game, and if that is your only concern, Mario Kart will work great for you. Especially on Switch, which is not the ideal platform for CTR: NF. A racing game you can play for a while, that only gets more fun the better you get at it, is Crash Team Racing, and the re-release on PS4 is the best kart racer on the market today. It should serve as an awesome fill-in while I wait for the next F-Zero.    … Expand

    This game is poor man's Mario Kart in my opinion. The reason I feel that way is because of the difficulty settings, the items, and the microtransactions.

The reason I feel that way is because of the difficulty settings, the items, and the microtransactions.

    I started out playing on easy to get a feel for the game. I was able to easily win every race with no problem. As a result, I switched it to hard. The only thing that changed on the hard setting was how the ai players acted. They simply went faster. I understand that the difficulty is based on how fast I'm able to drive the track. The increase in difficulty feels artificial though.

    In comparison, Mario Kart's difficulty settings work a bit different. On Mario Kart, your kart goes faster on higher difficulty settings. As a result, playing on higher difficulty settings require you to be more knowledgeable of the track, and have more skill at maneuvering your kart. While the ai players are going faster, you're going faster too. On Crash Team Racing, this isn't necessarily the case.

    This transitions into another issue. The items in CTR are not implemented well. If you're playing Mario Kart 8 on 200cc, you can get hit by a blue shell and still be able to recover and win, as long as your driving skill is good enough. On CTR, if you get hit by a couple items while playing on hard, you're pretty much done.

    It should also be noted that Mario Kart 8 doesn't have microtransactions and mobile game style unlocks. CTR does. It just doesn't feel good.

    I understand that if I spend enough time on CTR I'd have a better time with it. But the game isn't satisfying enough to keep me playing. I'd rather stick with playing Mario Kart 8 on 200cc. While CTR isn't a bad game, I just feel like there are better options.    … Expand

    Nostalgia might well have carried this one through, but in truth it doesn’t need it: this is a great game that has for the most part aged remarkably well, with the visual upgrade and other tweaks serving to make absolutely certain it’s worth the price of admission; I just wish the AI didn’t sometimes feel so cheap. It’s rare that a game can be as good as it was 20 years ago in a modern re-release – but this classic kart racer manages it.

    Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled is just about perfect at what it’s trying to do. The redone adventure mode is a blast minus the grind required to get coins to unlock stuff, and the core gameplay has been refined. This results in the best-playing Crash racing game ever and yet another top-shelf kart racer. Right now, the genre is as big as it’s been in 20 years, with Sonic, Mario, and Crash all competing at stores and the best thing for players is that you can’t go wrong with any of them. Crash offers up a tremendous game overall and it’s definitely an experience I would put above Team Sonic Racing, but ever so slightly behind Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
