This game had awesome graphics and sound. The tracks were really cool and fun to play. The problem i had with this game is that it was way too easy. I beat the final boss on my first try. The stupid part of this game is when the final boss challenges you to a 2nd race. But, in order to compete in the 2nd race you have to beat the "Relic Race"(beat each level in a extemely short amount of time to win.) The relic races are basically impossible and you have to beat one for each level. So the game goes from extremely easy, to just annoying. But if your in it for the graphics and sound, its an amazing game.

Overall: Decent. Compared to CTR: Get CTR

I really didn't care for this game at all. I rented it from Blockbuster and ultimately only played it once. The Multiplayer setup isn't the best in the world, the plot isn't nearly as solid as that of the game's predecessor, Crash Team Racing(CTR), and the gameplay is just bad.

I hated the control factor. The new developer tried to improve on the gameplay, but it only screwed it up. It probably would have been better to just rehash the old game's gameplay with the updated graphics. The controls felt extremely unnatural, and it just wasn't as smooth as the first game. Although it is graphically better than the first game, the first game clearly outstrips this game for playability, fun, and gameplay.

Another thing: The camera angles. Not good. They didn't provide a good view of what's ahead of you. You get two "view point" choices. One close behind your cart and one a little farther back. The one close to your cart provides a viewing area that's too narrow, and your actual cart and driver block a lot of the view. The one farther away gave you a good and wide view, but it was angled down too much, so you couldn't see very far ahead. All in all, I thought the camera angles provided way too many blindspots for me to enjoy the game.

And like I said before, the controls were bad. It felt very unnatural when turning or power-sliding. While the gravity floors were a neat element allowing you to go upside down and in all manner of directions, it still didn't make up for the sub-par controls.

To sum it all up, you should just ignore this game and buy the original CTR. It's a much better game. A LOT more fun. The graphics in CTR are good enough to let you enjoy the game, they aren't over the top, but like always there are things more important that good graphics.

And Crash Nitro Cart sacrificed a lot of gameplay for the graphics.

Crash Nitro Kart

If you like Crash Team Racing, you'll like Crash Nitro Kart.

You can race as Crash Bandicoot, Coco Bandicoot, Crunch Bandicoot, Dr. Neo Cortex, N. Gin, Tiny, N.Oxide, & N. Trance. You can unlock Dingodile, Polar, Pura, Zem, Zam, N. Tropy, & Velo.

There are thirteen races & five arenas. They're similar to Crash Team Racing, but the graphics are better.

This is a great game.

Solid, not Stellar

Love the sound and graphics. Looks and sounds great on big-screen TV. It takes a while to get used to driving the kart, however, once you master it, you'll be hooked. I only wish they had included more tracks to race on.

Fantastic Game

This game is awesome. I don't know why people are saying the cars are difficult to control. My 5 year old got this for Christmas and he has no problem controlling them. My other two children and my husband all can play. It is similar to CTR (Crash Team Racing) The only difference is that there are different levels and more weapons. It is a blast. My 5 year old can't put it down. I would highly recommend this game to everyone. It gives you hours of enjoyment.

Great Game

This is a great crash game. If you like Crash, you'll like this game. It is kind of like crash team racing. The only complaint I have is that my game froze in the middle of the game.

An Improvement on CTR?

Like many of the other reviewers, I found Nitro Kart very similar to the original CTR. The "improvements" are hit and miss. Sure the graphics are much improved, but what would you expect going from from PS to PS2? Meanwhile the game controls seem less responsive and the sound quality is muddy and the sounds themselves much less a part of the game than with CTR. The running commentary from the other racers in CTR was half the fun. Unless your goal is to collect all the Crash series, don't bother purchasing both CTR and Nitro Kart

Crash Nitro Kart Is The Best!!!!

The graphics in this game are excellent, BUT it is SO hard to control the cart! I had so much trouble the first time I played it because I didn't get how to turn fast. It was really frusterating. I finally got the hang of it. If you are a die hard Crash fan then go ahead and buy it....

Crash rule's!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great game like i got it last year when it first got out and fineshed it in 2 hour's.Not a very big game though.The best kart racing game ever.It's got battle mode's, vs mode, adventure mode,and cool tracks with awsome obstickle's.If you liked CTR you'll love this game.It's not babyish like mario kart double dash.It's really amusing.You can finally play as N.Oxide.If you're a racing game lover you'll want this game.Have game's racing like crash nitro kart.For people who play's serious racing game's like Need For Speed Underground and SCS Street racing syndicate and Corvette you'll like this game for a cartoony game.

Pros:

There are a lot of racer's 8.6/10
Gameplay excelent! 10/10

Get the game even if you don't know Crash bandicoot.
