Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled is an awesome remake I would love to have played more of…if I were able to. I'm really hoping for an update or some word from Activision support so I can really get into the game and play some online matches.

As a remake, it offers a lot of content and renews the classic gameplay as much as possible with the technical area being very carefully constructed.

Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled is a high-octane blast that is rich in content, and a ton of fun to play. While the occasional difficulty spike can frustrate at times, Beenox have promised a series of free, seasonal updates that contain new tracks, customisations, and events, giving everybody plenty of opportunity to "get good."

CTR is back and it looks better than ever. After all the improvements we saw with the N-Sane Trilogy, Nitro-Fueled is a wonderful remake of an already great karting game. The difficulty curve and be a tough sell for some people but this is a great way to experience CTR if you're new or someone that played it on PS One years ago.

Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled brings the original game to our age and it does a fine job at that, as the experience goes way beyond improved graphics and sound. The amount of game modes, characters and customization elements, as well as the online and offline multiplayer components and the solid gameplay make this a very healthy proposal for fans of the series and of kart-racing games.

Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled is a beautiful trip back in time. It is also great that PS4 and XB1 owners finally have a truly great kart racer available on their machines. This game is a must-own for anyone that loves these types of games, and for the price it is impossible not to recommend. Just be prepared for the difficulty and remember playing on easy is perfectly fine, and much more enjoyable for that casual romp.

Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled is an amazing and agile kart racer that compares with the original game which keeps pulling me forward and there is always something to learn and there is still something to play. The online lobby always been full at Switch.

Once I changed the controls to something more comfortable, I had a blast playing through the well-crafted adventure mode and all the tracks and challenges that reside in it, even if the CPU players had the rubber band effect.

CTR Nitro-Fueled is an essential purchase. Beenox have absolutely outdone themselves, creating a zany, entertaining atmosphere for a franchise that is going through an exciting transformation and renaissance.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled manages to keep all the elements that made an original game so fun to play. Even 20 years after its release, CTR is still a great racing game, and Nitro-Fueled is a nice present for the fans of Crash Bandicoot.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled has more content than most other kart racers in existence, but the game's stiff difficulty will be polarizing for players.

If you're looking for a new (technically old) kart racer to dive into and give your all, this is definitely a great one to add to the pile, especially if you've gotten your fill of all the iterations of Mario Kart.
