I have all the Bandicoot series and love them all , both on PS1 and PS2. This game just came out today and I've spent about an hour with it. I was looking forward to this release since I heard about it a couple of months ago.

First of all, Crash Team Racing is the predecessor and was made for the PS1, and is one of my favorite all time games, just a lot of fun. I expected CNK to take it one step further with the PS2 and have an awesome game, however, sadly, I am truly disappointed.

All the elements of CTR that made it great are missing from the CNK, excellent music, fun effects ( confetti everywhere at the end of the race ) and quasi-realistic dynamics of the vehicles. Even though this is a fantasy type racing game, I expected the dynamics of the vehicles to be at least true to the rules of physics ( like they were in CTR). I just don't feel like I'm driving these things and having much affect on the outcome of the races. For example, if you lift your thumb off the gas pedal to hit the power-up button just for a half second, your cart actually slows instead of coasts.. This is hard to explain if your not a CTR fan.

Even if I based my review independent of CTR, I would still give it only 2 stars, the music is monotonous, the tracks are a bit too busy to actually 'get into the race' with, the voice overs are either the same as CTR's or they are just obnoxious, and the driving dynamics, like i said, don't really 'work'.

On the plus side, the scenery is nice. But overall, this is the worst game from the bandicoot series yet. Disappointing.

CRASH IS A SMASH HIT!!!!!!

This is the second game we've bought that Vivendi Universal has taken over from the original creators and they've ruined this one, too. First, they brought down Spyro, and now they're after Crash Team Racing. The cars aren't easily controlled, the graphics got blurry going around some of the corners making it hard to tell where you were on the course, and worst of all - as soon as the first place racer crosses the finish line, the race is over. Whatever place you're in when they cross, that's where you end up. It was so much better when everyone was allowed to finish. I paid full price for this game so I'll muddle through it, but I'm never buying one of their games again.

I waited 4 years for this game and I'm disappointed!

I bought this game the day it came out and put it on and after going through all of the boards I have to say I am disappointed.

I love CTR and I thought this would be an updated (graphic wise) of the game. Some of the weird weapons are just weird. The green protective shield - you can't shoot it at anyone like before. I hate when the wheels turn and cling to the ground - it feels like you're not even moving. You shouldn't have to power slide through the whole game in order to get some speed. I think there is too much detail in order to keep your attention to the actual race. I loved the snow boards on CTR and the 1 snow board on this game I don't like at all. Too many dips and and the snow coming down is annoying. I never thought they would make another one and when I found out they were I was counting down the days till I could get my hands on it. It's ashame Naughty Dog didn't make this one. What were they thinking!

Not as good as CTR

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....

Da bomb

I agree with "Cole Edwards" when I first played it i was like "this game stinks" but after a hour or so this game ruled, it has over 12 tracks, 18 characters, many battle areanas and, if u get boerd you can create your own areas. There are over 5 new never before seen Crash Bandicoot characters. From Nash (a shark) to Geary (a robot). You can also play as oxide (from Crash Team Racing)This game is also very funny you can unlock movies, which are funny, wich makes this the coolest Crash game made!!!!

Crash Nitro Kart Is The Best!!!!

I have bought and played all the crash bandicut games. They all were amazing. I have beaten them all and was up for a new challenge. So i got crash nitro cart and it was hard to control at first but i got uset to it. Its a pretty cool game and the graphics are the best of the crash games.

Where the heck is Naughty Dog and Sony

I LOVE Crash Team Racing. It is one of the best Playstion multiplayer games ever. So I was very excited to see a new version on the shelves and picked it up right away! I haven't played it all that much as of yet, however, I was very very disappointed when I heard the character's voices. They are not same voices as in previous Bandicoot games. It's just not same. The comments are cute as usual, but the voice thing is a bummer. Also, it seems the carts are a little slower than the carts in CTR, which also takes some getting use too. On the bright side, there are some pretty neat (and frustrating) weapons to choose from. Overall, it's good but it's no CTR.
