    While CNK may not break new ground, it does a quality job of delivering another kart racer in Crash’s universe. It will put gamers' mettle to the test and offer hours of "wait, one more time..." gameplay.

    The best way for me to describe it is the same of everything you love about kart games rolled into one. There is nothing shockingly new here.

    What really makes Crash Nitro Kart worth playing is the solid control and innovative boost system. [Dec 2003, p.106]

    Offers up all the enjoyment Mario Kart has. The graphics are clean and crisp and the game is a blast to play through in the adventure mode, as well as crashing down with a friend for a good time.

    Younger players out there will get a kick out of the solid controls and bright environments, while more advanced players can appreciate the challenge and depth of the included boost system.

    This may be a touch disappointing to hardcore fans of "CTR," but anyone looking for a solid kart racer should be quite pleased.

    This game is fine, but it just doesn't control as well as Crash Team Racing. It doesn't control badly, it's just not as good. It's hard toThis game is fine, but it just doesn't control as well as Crash Team Racing. It doesn't control badly, it's just not as good. It's hard to explain, but overall this game can be a fun time. It's not as good as CTR or CTR Nitro-Fueled, but it's better than any other Crash racing game.… Full Review »
