It's more than a full remake. Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled feels like the definitive edition of past Crash racing games full of content and unlockables. This new take also remains colorful, fun, intense and just as challenging as the original.

That being said, Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled proves that simplicity and nostalgia, with a few modern tweaks, works wonders. At $40, you can't beat a fun remake that covers content from three games over the span of six years

I can't shake the feeling that if Nintendo's online infrastructure was more robust, the loading minimized, and the coins were able to be earned when offline, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled would be an instant masterpiece and torch-bearer for remakes of beloved games. Sadly, it falls just short of such a title.

Like the previously released Resident Evil 2 Remake, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is another shining example of how to do a remake of a beloved game. Adding a new coat of paint and some quality of life changes is all an old, and already great, game needs.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is at once a joyful and joyless recreation of a stone-cold classic. Packed to the gills with content, this drive down memory lane still contains a sense of the original's magic, and artfully decorates your favorite tracks and drivers with an impeccable attention to detail. But it's not immune to the modern era, and the looming threat of live-service DLC and nostalgia-grabbing looms heavy over the entire game.

Adding even more content to the hit formula back from 1999, Nitro-Fueled is a prime example how a remake should look like: staying true to the original while updating the graphics and including loads of bonuses.This fun racer is the best alternative to Mario Kart to date!

undefined.While the roughshod nature of the Switch port doesn't quite make Crash Team Racing a dominant kart racer on the system, the solid single-player mode and finicky yet rewarding boosting and driving still adds up to an enjoyable time, as long as you're fine with a visual downgrade and a long wait between races. I really enjoyed revisiting Crash Team Racing with Nitro-Fueled and it reminded me of how great the single-player component of this game is. I just wish there weren't such large caveats that held it back on Switch.

We are facing a game that can be the new leader in kart racing genre, it's a lot of fun and has very high repeatability. It offers everything you expect to see from a kart racing game.

Crash Bandicoot fans will certainly be happy, and are likely already on board. Those looking for a challenge will have a good time chasing trophies. Casual/Party players who like kart games probably will want to stick with Sonic and Mario.
