    Great remake but the fact that they stealth added micro transactions into a kid friendly game is a big down vote for me. Have returned it to the store and will refuse to play any game and return any game that does so in the future.

    Deliberately made it a grandfest so they can sell you the solution, after saying they wouldn't add microtransactions.

    So this game is great but it feels so short, I beat it in a day but I had a really fun time doing it but you should most likely play on medium but even then it's a tad to hard but I also feel like the battle mode is great and on the same level as Mario kart 8 deluxe

    This game is honestly the worst game i've ever **** played. For a kart racer it's a spin off of mario as most things of the genre tend to be.

    Even though they specifically promise not to do it, Activision has added microtransactions to their game. Crash team racing was a classic that has been remastered however they did the **** possible thing and added microtransactions I cannot describe how angry I am with this game.

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

    Im really enjoying this game but theres few misssteps in this game. I'll start obviously with the pros:
    -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!!!

    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

    Activision-Blizzard pulled a Blops4: they waited about a month to rack up goodwill reviews, then injected egregious, anti-consumer microtransactions after the overwhelming majority of people were done reviewing the game, and after promising not to add MTX.

    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.

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

    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

    I was hoping for more mario-like game. Crash Team Racing has higher barrier of entry, it's hard for guests to pick up. The maps are a bit difficult as well as steering. I played a bit of campaign and learned how to drift, but it was generally not that great.

    Crash Nitro racing is equivalent to Nintendo's Mario Kart for the PS4. Not much to say, you have a plethora of characters including Spyro ones that you race through out different cups, and different stages. Its has up to 4 player Split screen which creates different fan events, and its 2019 so it also has online racing. very good game to have

    CTR (1999) is one of my childhood games and one of my favorites.

    Then talking about this CTRNF, my first impression of playing this game in one month was EXHAUSTING, BAD, HORRIBLE, UGLY and DILEMATIC. 1. BAD: Loading is very long, on PS4 Slim it can take 40 seconds to 1 minute. 2. HORRIBLE: the jump button is delayed, and the car feels FLOATING (6 months later my friends    CTR (1999) is one of my childhood games and one of my favorites.

    Then talking about this CTRNF, my first impression of playing this game in one month was EXHAUSTING, BAD, HORRIBLE, UGLY and DILEMATIC.

    1. BAD: Loading is very long, on PS4 Slim it can take 40 seconds to 1 minute.

    2. HORRIBLE: the jump button is delayed, and the car feels FLOATING (6 months later my friends recommended Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to me and Boom, this CTRNF game is getting worse and worse. The way the MK8D runs feels intuitive and soft as seen from the responsive tire suspension to the road, response to the turbo, respond when walking on water, when turning and so on) makes this CTRNF gameplay feel outdated. The only advantage of this CTRNF gameplay is that when jumping the animation of the car is made flex, perhaps to cover the shortcomings of the way the car runs, then from the way of jumping which reaches a higher height than MK8D and it is destroyed due to the DELAYING JUMP BUTTON.

    3. EXHAUSTING: the price of one character is 2500 wumpa coins, cars can be more, single player on Electron Avenue is only 80 wumpa coins, when you are disconnected from the internet you can't get wumpa coins at all, of course also can't access the store.

    4.UGLY: without internet makes character lists, cars, paint, tires, and stickers look VERY UGLY. Imagine the moment when Activision no longer supports this game and you are too lazy to grind, the list of car characters and others looks more and more destroyed (MK8D's decision to unlock Items from the first time and make Grinding easy, it was a very right decision).

    5. DILEMATIC: The only thing this game is proud of is the graphics, and even then it's not enough because it runs at 30fps on the base model PS4 (dude, MK8D runs at 60fps on the Switch). And that's also what makes you feel bad to uninstall this CTRNF, Remake of this game is very beautiful and also bad.

    Conclusion: if you are a fan of Crash, please note that Crash was originally created to copy the Mario franchise and its Mario Kart. CB, CB 2: Cortex Strikes Back, CB 3 Warped and the ending is CTR on PS1. The Crash franchise has an identity crisis, which is why Sony is selling it.

    the creation of the next games from Crash on the next generation console starting from the PS2 gives the impression that this franchise is forced to continue its work when it is not necessary.

    Original CTR is much better than CTRNF, graphics are not the most important.

    The online problems are way too many to make it a great game: Terrible matchmaking, its P2P so the host has the best ping and the others usually have latency, especially since its regional as well so it can be very hard to find lobbies. Also you have to wait so long for each track, then everybody leaves and another 10minutes to wait for the next 2min track.

    On top of that there are easy cheats/exploits in the tracks that the developers have not fixed which bluefire nerds take advantage of and beat the levels sometimes in seconds. And if the host leaves everyone disconnects.
    I could say so many other things about the online but this is quite a bit but Activision added microtransactions and made it EVEN harder to collect coins so thats great.
    For a nostalgic game that has always been one of the best racing games ever made and in my opinion the best kart racer on the planet (original CTR) this release is ridiculously disappointing.

    Positive things: Only thing that makes this game stand out is the remade story mode and the amazing graphics while racing, its also great how many updates have been made that added so many characters and maps to play. If the loading would be better i would give it 8/10 - It is after all the main reason why the playerbase for this game is dead, the matchmaking and overall loading times needed to be addressed, also just an update for the MP - Tournaments/Online Cups, just anything really...    … 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.

    Choose the design, skin and the colors of your character and track that you like the most.

    You can even prefer more either speed or acceleration or turn or balance that affect your gameplay experience in addition to the character and track in this real time video game!

    If you are either beginner, newcomer, novice, inferior or unskilled in racing games like this one then don't worry, this game has an easy mode and I, myself, succeed to beat this racing game only on easy mode!

    If you only want to see the ending of this real time video game and then the credits then getting and winning all the trophies is enough, but if you also want rewards then you also have to get all the crystals and relics in this racing game and the crystals and relics are much more both difficult and hard to win than the trophies and require much very high skills and talents in race gaming!

    After beating the single player offline, go online and play multiplayer races.

Adventure mode and time trials are challenging but fair. Game gives player huge control over the vehicle and demands decent usage of this control.

    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.

    Great game, beautiful graphics and great gameplay.It's a easy game to pick up but hard to master which makes it even more enjoyable game to play.There are a lot of things to do after you finish the main campaign, like time trials.

    Шикарный ремастер оригинала. Ничего не поломали. Улучшили то что можно было. Самая хардкорная гонка. Аналогов нет.

    One of the best party arcade racers I have ever played. There are tons of tracks and characters, giving this a lot of content for your money. Unlocking character skins without microtransactions makes this an easy game to grind, especially with friends.

Because of the CPU every race you have to try really hard in which takes away the fun and relaxing of a competitor like Mario kart.    … Expand

    Pochi bug, gameplay migliorato rispetto all'originale (che già aveva un gameplay spettacolare) e carine le nuove aggiunte: tempi di velo e degli sviluppatori, corsa ad anelli e la modalità online. Proprio quest'ultima però ha dato diversi problemi: diversi bug e crash delle partite. Comunque un gioco divertente da giocare da solo o con amici, straconsigliato

    Fantastic remake of the PSX classic. The only problem is the long loading screens, but apart from that, this game is perfect.

    The graphics are nice for the most part, however they are lacking in personality and character - think back to the cartoony expressions featured in 2003's Crash Nitro Kart, which were more in line with the franchise. Tracks and worlds look like generic, "Realistic 4K HD Remaster™" scale-ups that have no flair or life to them.

    The music is rather unremarkable, rearranged recordings of the classic CTR/CNK themes with worse instrumentation and overall not as good as the original soundtracks.

    None of that is as big of a problem as the gameplay and mechanics; it is very clear that Beenox was not the right studio for a racing game (hint; this is the Skylanders and current Call of Duty studio) and they were only picked because Activision, the current rights holders for Crash Bandicoot, directly own Beenox instead of the company that would have been the right choice, Vicarious Visions.

    The engine that Beenox coded for Nitro-Fueled is a poor imitation of the previous games, with very jank physics, freak occurrences (being pushed down by Sewer Speedway's cylindrical walls, wall hitboxes being further out than the wall itself, etc.). But the worst aspect is how they botched the Power Slide mechanic; when you successfully boost, your kart is shifted toward whichever side you are holding the analog stick as opposed to pushing forward like in CTR. This severely affects the ability to pull off strategies that were possible in the original games, for example, you'll go to power slide toward a shortcut and instead you fall sideways into a pit.

    The online multiplayer is a joke and a waste of time, all online matches are console-to-console and Beenox does not run dedicated servers for this game. The effects of this show when you place, say, 2nd in an online race, watch the standings for a bit, and see that you've dropped down to 5th despite clearly finishing in 2nd. And have no doubt, you will see virtually all players picking the same character and kart. Most online races are inhabited by sweats trying to get the latest tournament rewards...which brings me to the most disappointing aspect of this game.

    In further mockery and insult of the CTR veteran's intelligence, the developers at Beenox attempt to distract you from these glaring flaws with ugly karts, skins and stickers that you can unlock through Fortnite-style grinding mechanics. Several characters are locked behind limited-time tournaments that quickly devolve into little more than grinding for XP and in-game currency. You are also encouraged to subscribe to PlayStation Plus, Xbox Live or Nintendo Switch Online as the amount of XP and in-game currency earned is dramatically less if you play offline. You are enslaved to a cycle of nonstop currency grinding to unlock a character or kart setup that earns you just slightly more XP and currency than before in the hopes of unlocking characters from the tournament.

    But don't worry! In this $40 game, you always have the option of purchasing microtransactions if you don't want to become enslaved to nonstop online races on the same track every time that you will be disconnected from, or won't even join because lobbies keep dropping out.

    Compare this to the original CTR or CNK's way of unlocking characters; completing challenges that test your skill. Clearing Gem Cups. Defeating N. Tropy's ghosts. You were never trapped in a nonstop XP grinding cycle to unlock characters, you never had to spend extra money, and success led to an actual sense of "pride and accomplishment"...I guess the qualifications for that have lessened.

    If you haven't already, stay far away from this cash-in.    … Expand

    Anyone complaining about microtransactions is being completely foolish because you can unlock everything in the game by playing it. Nobody's demanding extra money for you to enjoy this game.

Nobody's demanding extra money for you to enjoy this game.

    It controls almost identical to the original, with updated graphics, and includes all of the original levels and main game from CTR, as well as many levels from Nitro Kart, and a ton of added levels that are easily some of the most fun in the series. 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.

    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.
