    Fun little kart racing game. some of the modes I find annoying, but I like the nostalgia factor with crash. the actual racing is really fun...........

    It's a bit disappointing. I don't like the boost system, and you're forced to use it all the time since it's so challenging. The tracks are a little boring in general.

    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 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.

  1. Visions could have been more imaginative with the weapons, which though numerous in appearance, offer almost zero variation among missiles, mines, and force fields.

    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]
