    A great remake of a very specific game for a very specific audience. Crash Team Racing is a solid alternative to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but it’s not for everybody - and you should know beforehand what you’re getting into.

    While the roughshod nature of the Switch port doesn’t quite make Crash Team Racing a dominant kart racer on the system, the solid single-player mode and finicky yet rewarding boosting and driving still adds up to an enjoyable time, as long as you’re fine with a visual downgrade and a long wait between races. I really enjoyed revisiting Crash Team Racing with Nitro-Fueled and it reminded me of how great the single-player component of this game is. I just wish there weren’t such large caveats that held it back on Switch.

Also there is so much content in this game that at this point im not even sure if you can call this a remake or just a whole new ctr. The only thing the need to fix is the increase of the wumpa coins a bit and the online experience but all around the same ctr. Also for the people who are rating this game a 1 out of 10 all I can tell you is GIT GUD. Full Review »
