    Juego muy divertido, tanto para jugar solo como con amigos, gran variedad de escenarios, personajes y mejoras hacen que sea , muy personalizable, habiendo jugado también a Mario Kart, este es muchísimo mejor juego. La nota negativa la achaco a la dificultad, el modo normal es tremendamente complicado.

    A faithful recreation of a classic, burdened by a promise to not include microtransactions only to add them a month later in order to dodge game critics from lowering scored for it. Do not buy this game. Do not let publishers treat you like this.

    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.

    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.

    An old favorite of mine, it's hard for me not to love. However, Beenox has added so much content and enhanced the visuals to a degree the beats many games even today, albeit with the original solid mechanics. This game stands apart from current kart racers with its radically different game play feel. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys racing games in general.

Os críticos mais desavisados provavelmente reclamarão da dificuldade e compararão com aquele kart racer feijão com arroz pra casuais o Mario Kart (que eu tambem gosto). Mas esse aqui tem muito mais profundidade. Ótimo game!

    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.

    "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.

    Promised no microtransactions which is one of the main reasons I bought the game and I wake up to the game being raped with microtransactions. This was clearly done so it would get all the good reviews and love at the start to boost sales so they can rape the game in the name later of profit in hopes nobody updates the reviews.

    This game in most ways is a very original game and has enough different with Mario kart to be its own thing. This game is a great remaster with the same tracks characters and even music that I remember. What this game adds in online just adds on to why you should get it. The edition of Nitro kart characters and tracks just makes the game even more perfect

    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.

    This remake of the original Crash Team Racing is very well done. Possibility of playing exactly like in the old times as well as a new way of difficulty settings and customization of carts is great. Online play is a little bit buggy, but there's Hope that devs will fix that soon. It is fun though. The only downside is the repetitiveness since it is a Racing game. Pretty good.

You earn Wumpa Coins by racing but in order to earn them at a decent rate you are REQUIRED to play Online.

    Online is a broken mess that gets worse with each patch. They refuse to fix the gameplay effecting bugs because it interferes with your Wumpa Coin gains and they hope you will just buy the coins instead. Each patch comes roughly a month after the last and the only purpose is to add these seasonal 'Grand Prix' events. These are horrible to grind for and quickly become a chore, especially considering there is a week between each new 'Grand Prix'.

    As someone who grew up with the original, I can't recommend this game to anyone. It is a soulless remaster whose sole purpose is to suck every penny from your wallet. Expect them to push the envelope because they will.

    Please spread the word. Don;t buy this game. Borrow it or pirate it. Activi$ion doesn't need your money and Beenox certainly doesn't deserve it either.    … Expand

    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

    Now many man-children will down vote this game for stupid reasons for it not being either Mario kart or some other dumb reason but there is one other complaint going around about the micro transactions which I feel are redundant and do not hinder the game at all the microtransactions are fair and yes they did "lie". However, I saw them coming a mile away because of the pitstop and anyone else who didn't think the pits stop was foreshadowing microtransactions is an idiot but overall great game and if you love crash this is a must buy.    … Expand

    You don't need to use the microtransactions to buy wumpa coin but if u want they will be put in soon

    Microtransactions ruined the game for me Completely. They say you can unlock everything without paying money but they purposely made that a almost impossible grind so that it would push you to pay actual money for content in the game and a lot of it. This was a $69 game, not free to play like fortnight. Shame on Activision

    Agrégale todo el contenido post-lanzamiento, y tenemos el mejor juego de carreras de la generación. Los únicos peros que le veo es que va a 30 cuadros por segundo y me hubiera gustado ver que la campaña incorporara el contenido de Nitro Kart.

    This was the game that introduced me to Crash Bandicoot, When Nintendo had Mario Cart. Playstation had Crash Team Racing. As a young kid I used to live on my PS1 playing this. I'm glad the game was remade and now it's the best fun/competitive racing game for PS4.

    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.

    Good local multiplayer options too, definitely worth a look if you enjoy such games.

    Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is a fantastic remaster, filled with great courses and plenty of replayability, even if the difficulty sometimes feels off.

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.

Gameplay profundo, roster enorme, catalogo se fases gigante, modos de jogos inúmeros, modo online cheio de possibilidades, opção de audio original, opções de costumização a perder de vista e tudo isso só tende a aumentar com os dlc's gratuitos que foram anunciados. Uma palavra pra este game: conteúdo. Melhor game que eu compro em mto tempo.

    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.

    Meine uneingeschränkte Empfehlung hat jeder Sony- und XBOX Jünger.

    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.

    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 was excellent in all areas... for about two months. Now it's riddled with microtransactions when in no way did it need it.

    Beenox remade a fantastic game, it's new and fresh but also faithful to the original game. Activison have decided to just destroy all that with this mictrotransaction decision.

    Since start the game wasn't in a healthy state: there is ton of bugs (damn, I couldn't even launch arcade mode because the game refused to submit at preferences menu), dead online (I have to wait about 5 minutes to get a game with 3-4 people in it while there is 8 slots, so there is no fun at all) and 30 fps for racing game (Mario Kart 8 running on Switch with 60 fps and has better graphics). And now instead of actually fixing the game they bringing micro transactions to game with E10+ rating despite the promise not to do that, which pissed people off! The game is another try to monetize nostalgia, that's it.    … 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.
