My brothers and I would spend hours playing it, trying to unlock everything and best all of the time trials. Crash Team Racing was such a fun game not just because it was a spin-off of one of the most popular games of that decade, but I thought it was somehow more insane than Mario Kart. This game was reviewed on a PlayStation 4 Pro system with a review code provided by a PR representative for the game.I’ve been a fan of Crash Bandicoot since the beginning, so I had the chance to experience all of the excitement of CTR when it was first released back in 1999. These are all cosmetic and there’s no microtransactions involved, but these unlocks could keep you playing for awhile trying to grind out coins if you want a particular item.Ĭrash Team Racing Nitro Fueled went above and beyond with making a faithful to the original remake of a classic title,but the addition of Nitro Kart tracks and customization options makes for a fully featured package that will delight die hard fans of the original and fans of kart racing games at large. As you complete races in any mode you’ll gain coins to unlock racers, paint jobs, kart bodies and wheels. The original cast of racers are still unlocked the same way,mostly through completing adventure mode,but the new cast of characters and a lot of custom items are now in the in-game shop called the Pit Stop. There’s now a pretty robust selection of customization items to unlock on top of characters. You can race on any track or do battle mode online with up to 8 players in matchmaking or private matches with a group of friends. While this makes sense in the spirit of being faithful to the original mode, it would have been nice if they implemented them at least a little as some of these stages are the most visually impressive.Īlong with being remade with modern visuals, a lot of features from modern games made their way in as plenty of online multiplayer options are available. All the Nitro Kart stages have these different modes available for them as well,but they are not incorporated in the adventure mode in any way. You can also do CTR challenges were you’ll have to find the letter’s C,T & R hidden around the tracks, and Relic Challenges which are a fun take on time trial races that have you breaking through numbered boxes that stop the clock depending on the number and will help you finish the race in time. On easy I’m miles ahead with nothing going on and on medium I can barely keep ahead of the pack, so ultimately if you’re looking for a challenge it’s here. There is an easy difficulty option but the jump in difficulty is not the best. opponents are still keeping ahead only feet in front of me doing nothing. Even a single mistake could lead to a race lost, and trying to catch up feels unforgiving, especially when I’m pulling off well timed drift boosts and A.I. Some of this difficulty is frustrating because it stems from how A.I. Most bosses and races are fairly challenging even on the medium difficulty. Explore a hub world and win races to collect trophies and take on the bosses of each area. One thing that helped the original game stand out was the adventure mode, which also returns. Some of these characters feel right at home but others feel a little out of place next to some of the anthropomorphic animal characters from the earlier games. On top of the original tracks returning, another 13 tracks were remade and brought over from Crash Nitro Kart, as well as the cast of characters from those games. The tracks have a lot more character now, which of course is now possible because of more powerful hardware,but also because of great art design and little touches that make them pop. I really appreciated a lot of the visual upgrades these tracks received, as I remembered some of the stages feeling a little bland in the original release. Nitro Fueled brings all 17 tracks from the original release and beautifully remakes them.
