    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.

    Esse game tem apelo nostálgico em mim, mas tentarei deixar a nostalgia de lado e avaliá-lo de forma justa.

    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.

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. And finally theres a multiplayer, letting you team up with your friends or random players online. Whether you like racing alone, together, casually, or competitively, this game has it all! Expand

    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.

    “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.

    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.

    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.

Si es por las micro transacciones es estúpido ya que no afectan en nada al juego. Crash Team Racing es mi juego favorito, y este remake... es inferior pero no tiene nada que envidiarle. 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.

    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.
