    I have never played a crash game before. I always through the years hear about the games over and over again. Then recently Activision rereleases HD remakes that look beautiful. This is my first crash game, and I honestly sold Mario Kart 8 deluxe because I’ve played MK8 since Wii U Release, and Crash racing is such a refreshing and fun kart racing game. The graphics are beautiful, such a clean HD remastering of the old and blocky PS1 graphics. Highly recommend this game, not bad for the price point. And this game has a penguin. Penta Penguin...that has a NINJA SKIN!! That is SWEET!!

    You will likely not be going back to Mario Kart any time soon! This game is intense fun with slightly more challenge than the other Kart type racing games. You will be addicted to this game.

    Great game. Bought this game to play with my kids, and we have been having a blast. There are many tricks to learn to give you an advantage, or should I say to help you keep up (similar to Mario Kart). I suggest practicing before beginning the actual races since they do have a steep learning curve.

    Crash Team Racing is one of the best non Mario Kart kart racing games to be released ever and this game is a complete remake of the original back on the Playstation 1. So, how is this remake? Excellent. It remains a super high quality racer that's well worth picking up and trying for the first time or returning to with all new visuals. For the Switch port in specific, it loses some graphical fidelity from other platforms but it remains largely the same from a visual and performance standpoint minus the resolution and a few small graphical features. This means, the Switch port is excellent and well worth checking out Nintendo Switch is your platform of choice and/or if you want to play the game on the go. This game is great regardless of the platform you want to get it on. I can't recommend it more!

    This game is a fun racer. It takes a little bit getting used to the controls. And it is difficult if not playing on Easy mode. It is packed with content. Lots of tracks, modes, and characters. Fun to play solo and with friends or family. If you are done with Mario Kart try this one. The price is decent too.

    I never played nitro kart, I only played the very first crash team racing and going to this game, it gave me chills how everything brought back memories of the good ol days. I forget how hard this game kind of is but it's such a fun game to play, especially the adventure mode, the fact that it actually has an adventure mode. Compared to the original, you just get all these characters so there's nothing really bad about this game EXCEPT if does have long loading times, if only that could be fixed..

    Nostalgia Remastered!

    This game takes me back to the PS1 days, playing past my bedtime trying to get all the relics. I will say though, this game is TOUGH! There's no shame starting the adventure mode in easy and working to improve your driving and powersliding. Game runs at a pretty solid 30fps, and I haven't noticed any slowdown. The only downside is the loading times, it can take up to thirty seconds to load a track. Other than that, there's plenty of tracks to play and the new update made online much smoother.

    A Fun, Yet Challenging Kart Racer!

    Having never played the original Crash Team Racing, I was pretty excited to see this first announced back in December 2018. Now that I have played it for about almost two months, the game has been on an interesting collision course to say the least. Let's get this out of the way. CTR is vastly different than Mario Kart. I learned this the hard way. It took me a good while to learn the controls and drifting mechanics of CTR, but through playing through the game's different modes and finding different ways to win, I found myself getting better at the game through practice. Similar to Mario Kart, there are vast array of characters in the Crash series, with many still being added through the seasonal Grand Prix mode. Customization, while only cosmetic, is also fun. CTR comes packed with content outside of the aforementioned characters and Grand Prix mode. Players have access to an adventure mode, several tracks (including ones from Nitro Kart), battle modes, and different time trials. There is a lot to do in this game. One of the downsides to this game have to be its online. While I do have a pretty good internet connection, I still find myself getting hit with items frequently without knowing they are oncoming or where they are. Another downer is the inclusion of microtransactions, which allow players to use real money to buy wumpa coins. While the game items, such as karts, skins, and wheels, do not enhance character statistics, in-game purchases encourage the targeted people to buy more coins with real money. Despite those issues, CTR: Nitro-Fueled is packed with a lot of content, ranging from characters, modes, and a seasonal Grand Prix. The high difficulty learning curve might be a turn off for some, especially those playing at parties, but this latest Crash remake is fun for those looking for a brand new challenge.

    Boy, the nostalgia hits home with this game. It feels harder than the original, or maybe I just got worse as I got older... But overall the tracks look stunning (maybe a bit too much detail as it can be mildly distracting while driving). There is little mercy in the races and you can go from first to last with one hit, there doesn't seem to be any rubberband mechanics aside from the usual better weapons when in a bad place. If you loved the original get it and if you want something a little harder than Mario Kart, get it!

    Crash Team Racing is a great kart racer, probably the best one on the Switch besides Mario Kart. It’s super fun, it looks great and there’s a ton of tracks to race. My only complaint is that the difficulty seems to be pretty sporadic. Some races are extremely difficult and others are pretty easy. I wish this issue would get fixed but it’s still worth picking up and playing.

    This game is fun albeit a little difficult for my son whom I bought it for. I play with him and let him win sometimes cause he tried going against the computer solo and got smoked. He loves Mario Kart so naturally I got him this one as well
