Also the game is 100% microtransaction free if you're worried about that. If you played this game back in the day, it has been masterfully recreated and is more than worth the money. For newcomers who have never played it before, it is enough to rival the best mario kart games and in my opinion actually surpasses them.

    Edit: Microtransactions are being added on August 2nd. Score has been dropped 8 points.    … Expand

    Activision brings back another title from the past with the help of Beenox Studios development creating the original trilogy of the spin off racing games for the action platformer Crash Bandicoot, enter Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled, the next nostalgia title that i will stop playing after a few days.

    the gameplay is back and better than ever, the graphics are polsihed and colourful, the soundtrack is a nice edition and the roster is filled to the brim with mainstage heroes, villians and other less known characters, but that's where i fall off, my disinterest is not because its a bad game per say, its just that, i played this when i was much younger, its been more than a decade since i played the original games and it was very much the same game back then as it is now, i lacked the knowledge of whats considered a great title and now i look at my library and see so many other games that interest me so much more.

    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.

    You know, I thought that this game was great before. But now after they allowed 'Wumpa Coins' to be bought with real money? This game is perfect! Now I can finally relive my nostalgia while also spending real life currency on digital items that should be only earnable for those that worked for them. It's a dream come true.

    Trash game full of microtransactions. To make it worse, Activision added the microtransactions AFTER professional reviews went live so that the reviewers would give this game an artificially inflated score.

    -Graphically the game is well done , tracks , characters and story mode are truthful to the original with a brand new, colorful and good looking graphics.
    - 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!!!

    - On regular difficulty the game is unfairly difficult and npc opponents will win because no matter what, they will move faster than you, they barely get fazed when getting hit with items,and when you get hit you will fall from 1st to 8th in a second.

    Im direkten Vergleich mit Mario Kart, verliert es aber leider ganz klar. Da ist zum einen die wesentlich schwächere Soundkulisse, die uninspirierten Charaktere, wohl hübsches aber oftmals auch etwas langweiliges Streckendesign, einfallslose Powerups und lediglich 30FPS, was ein no-go für ein Racing-Game sein sollte. Hervorzuheben ist die gut gemachte Singlekampagne und die durchaus schöne Grafik. Aufgepasst, ich schreibe hier vom Direktvergleich. Gäbe es Mario Kart nämlich nicht, könnte man dies ganz anders betrachten und zweifelsfrei wäre es das Kart-Game NO1. Allerdings muss das Spiel sich den Direktvergleich schon gefallen lassen, ist es doch mehr oder weniger eine 1:1 Kopie.

    I'm a fairly decent gamer, above casual. The medium setting for adventure mode is a tad bit ridiculous and doesnt make sense at times how much it favors the NPC. I wouldn't even want to see what hard is like. Glad I only rented the game and didnt waste my money.

    "We have fixed the Save Corruption Glitch"
    Uh, no. You have not. Time Trial mode is STILL bugged and can corrupt your save, so I recommend staying away from Time Trials at the moment. I lost everything this morning, having earned N. Tropy 2 nights before, and now he is gone. Fix the game and I'll rate this higher.

    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).

    Very importantly -> not loot boxes! Unlockables are unlocked through playing the game rather than spending real money.

    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.

Hell, it even feels weird to say that it's been three years since Sony announced during their excellent E3 2016Wow, the last time I was this early to review a new game...honestly, I don't think I've ever been this early to review a new game. That's worth something, right? Either way, I still can't believe it's been two years since Activision gave us the "Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy." 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?

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

    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

    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.

    Overhyped game. Graphics are ok. The rest is just bad:
    Driving, especially drifting mechanics are unintuitive - just straight bad, to start sliding you need to hop and hold drift button, which usually ends on the wall. And even if you manage to drift AI enemies will speed past you because of idiotic handicap - even if you drive faster kart and drift they magically end in front of you -    Overhyped game.

And even if you manage to drift AI enemies will speed past you because of idiotic handicap - even if you drive faster kart and drift they magically end in front of you - and thats on normal. I spent a lot of time playing Mario Kart and am quite good at it, won with gold all of the hardest races, but in here I struggle hard to win second story (!) race, I ended on 2nd or 3rd place almost 20 times before I managed to win - I was so mad, that if I hadnt bought digital version I would take it straight back to the store. If you have bad start you can insta-restart the race because there are literally 0 chance to win.
    Well A.I. races aside, I bought it to play it with my wife online - another surprise - You can't! There is only local split-screen, but if You want online You have to do it solo - I wasnt aware of it, so if Youre like me - dont buy it. I had countless hours of fun playing split screen online in mario kart on switch, so I was sure that it will be the thing in a game for PS4, but sadly not an option.
    Besides, tracks are visually nice but quite boring, and the music is awfull.
    So yeah, if You only own Playstation You can say its better than Mario Kart (which is quite dumb, ppl write CTR > MK but obviously didnt play MK so where does this comparision come from?), but if Youre like me and own both platforms, then sorry but Mario Kart is way better.
    I wasnt hyped for it and I didnt play the original so no nostalgia factor in my case. And dont get me started about the time when I read about "nintendo fanboys" from a guy wih "GodPlaystation" nickname... I actually like playing games, doesnt matter on what system - I own them all (except xbox, I have good PC :P). This game feels like copy-paste from MK, but just a bit inferior in almost every way, which resulted in huge disapointment because I bought it from impulse of seeing all those optimistic reviews.    … Expand

It's taken me back to my teenage years, this reboot has everything that made the original incredible and more! The customisation options for characters and karts are great, the rebooted graphics are amazing, even on the switch which has less powerful hardware, they've optimised it really well and it looks great still and you just lose a little definition as it runs in 720p resolution instead of the big console versions who are running at 1080 (both versions run at 30fps). The game features a few nods to the classic CTR game such as legacy soundtrack and authentic loading screen times (30secs to load a race for big console version, 45secs on switch). But don't let that get you down, This is a triumph, I urge everyone who has ever loved kart racers to give this a go, and the Mario kart fans especially have to give this a chance because it is in many ways superior, and rewards good players for usr of skill, and punishes you less with random crate power ups, and the speed of races increases as you get better at the game and chaining turbos and learning the tracks, etc - thankyou everyone who worked on this game! It is amazing!

Due to my undying nostalgia for CNK, when I first went on the character select screen and saw those guys, I lit up with the biggest grin on my face that remained for my entire playthrough. This grin got even bigger when I got to some of the tracks from CNK. Besides that, it's the same CTR you all fell in love in love with, with the easy to learn but tough to master mechanics, the balanced items, and the deep and rewarding adventure mode.

    CTR still holds up with the best Kart-racing gameplay ever. Drift boosting is ridiculously satisfying to pull off, while the tracks/weapons have been given a fresh coat of paint that really give the game more character than it ever had.

    Plenty of single player content, online multiplayer and no microtransactions help this to become one of the best games so far this year.

    Best racing mechanics in the genre, skill-based gameplay, great single player mode, lots of customization.

    It may not be a Mario Kart. But in my opinion, leaves nothing to be desired. I only have criticisms regarding the menu. I found the menu very empty and at the beginning, If you go for years without playing, you will suffer a little to get used to the controls.

    Just like the previous CTR game, Nitro-Fueled is utterly polished and addictive to a fault... That's right, you heard me, CTR is a better game than any other racing kart game on the market.

    I'm going to be honest, beating Oxide again made me tear up a bit.
    The original CTR is the best kart racer ever made, and somehow Beenox and all of their contributors have crafted an even better version of this absolute gem (no pun intended).

    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.

    Crash Bandicoot and company return to the track driving their karts, now completely remodeled and ready to compete in the current generation of consoles. A title a little demanding but very beautiful, totally recommended to play with friends and relive those wonderful moments of our childhood.
