    Screw off Activi$ion. Putting microtransactions into a game after the reviews have been published, yet again!
    I was hesitant to buy this after seeing what happened to black ops 4, but I thought, surely they won't put microtransactions in a remake of a 20 year old game... right?
    Don't buy this game, the new Modern Warfare, or any of their games until they stop this garbage practice.

    Creo que este juego ha sido muy infravalorado por la gente en lo personal es un juego de karts demasiado bueno y su online es uno de los mas difíciles sin duda alguna, la gente se queja de las micro transacciones pero en realidad nunca fueron obligatorias era mas fácil conseguirlo todo jugando el juego te ofrece muchas mecánicas para desempeñarte en realidad su único punto negativo fueronCreo que este juego ha sido muy infravalorado por la gente en lo personal es un juego de karts demasiado bueno y su online es uno de los mas difíciles sin duda alguna, la gente se queja de las micro transacciones pero en realidad nunca fueron obligatorias era mas fácil conseguirlo todo jugando el juego te ofrece muchas mecánicas para desempeñarte en realidad su único punto negativo fueron los servidores pero de ahí en fuera no digo mentiras si digo que en cuestiones de dificultad y competitividad este juego es infinitamente mejor que Mario Kart.… Expand

Throughout last year and up until now, Beenox made content of this game a blast of awesomeness!
    Even in its basic form, game has worth of 2 beautiful games (31 tracks, 26 characters and variety of customization), but after accessing online content (WITHOUT ANY MICROTRANSACTIONS), you can unlock your roster up to 51 characters, have 40 tracks and so many customization items that give you over 760 MILLION options to create a setup for a kart. I mean how wonderful is that? Speaking of wonder, graphics in this game are superb! It was breathtaking to see intro of Tiger Temple or to jump in Oxide Station! Mechanics are almost like in the original, which gives a player control like in no other racing game. Adventure itself and some challenges are like they should be – challenging. I admit that some of them may require multiple tries to succeed, but rewards for trying are indeed great. Not only racing is great in CTRNF, it also have multiple battle modes when you can play with your friends in setup that you have chosen.
    Game is wonderful and great!    … Expand

    A lot of kart racing games came out in 2019: Team Sonic Racing, Mario Kart Tour, Garfield Kart 2 and Race with Ryan. But coming in first place is the CTR remake! This game stands out from the rest as it keeps on growing and growing with more characters and tracks, so many features and modes, and tight gameplay. Truly worthy of the Game Awards trophy!

Really, this game has the widest customization posibilities fom any other racing game, and it's still growing. And no, microtransactions are NOT needed to unlock all these item, if you play during a wumpa time (weekends at certain hours) you can win up to 1000 wumpa coins for a SINGLE RACE. Most expensive items cost 2500 wumpa coins, so that means to unlock a legendary item you need to win 3 races (online match). It's sad to see microtransactions at all in this game, but they are tottaly avoidable and really, you MUST put some effort to even FIND a place where those microtransactions are. Please, give this game a chance, because it's a true gem of racing genre! I love it!… Expand

The gameplay is so rewarding by the second, it really feels like an amazing celebration to Crash Bandicoot and respects it dearly. The pit stop is not the best shop but it does it’s job with amazing customization to your characters and karts, also the online does work and when does it’s great but when it doesn’t good luck. Even with these “issues” Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is the best racing game ever made, it’s just so satisfying to do anything in this game! (A Masterpiece 5/5) You Must Play It!… Expand

    El remaster supero por completo las espectativas que tenia, Beenox supo muy bien recrear las pistas.
    El sistema de turbos y dificultad se siente como en la version de 1999, es un juego facil de tomar las mecanicas pero dificiles de dominar y es lo que te motiva a jugar y jugar hasta darte cuenta que te enamoras del juego.

    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).

Also, i really like "mirror" track system. It really makes your favourite track feels like a new one. The last thing i want to say that I don't really understand why some people whine due to complexity. It's a game! They can be difficult and you just need to improve your skills. It's not so hard.… Expand

    Having so much fun with this game! Medium level is challenging so if it's too much for you play on easy until you get the hang of the game and the tracks. I made two saves files, one set on easy and one on medium so I can switch back and forth depending on my mood or too see if I've gotten better and can beat the .medium level.

    "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.

    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.
