    Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled on the Switch is my favorite kart racer, even managing to outshine Mario Kart. The focus on tight and challenging gameplay that requires skill over luck was a nice change of pace. Add to that the great presentation and amount of content, and there's not much else that you could wish for. At this point, the only real complaints are the long loading screens, the microtransactions that Activision is rolling out, and the sometimes-broken multiplayer component. It's enough to make it anything but a perfect game, but it's a good title.

    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.

    It is hard not to appreciate how good this game looks. Beenox has done an amazing job bringing these already impressive-looking tracks into the new generation. Everything is so clean and colorful. The design is immaculate and the implementation of 4K and HDR really showcase just how good everything looks. The game also runs beautifully on the higher-end consoles, keeping a constant frame rate and really making this feel like a brand new game.

    Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is a solid package that modernizes the original game in both good (gameplay) and bad (progression) ways. I’m happy that this game can live, but I want Crash Bandicoot to die.

    Future Grand Prix events are set to add characters from the Spyro the Dragon franchise, which is sure to be exciting for fans of PS1-era platformers. It’s safe to say that anyone who has nostalgia for Spyro or Crash will likely have a great time with Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, and while the difficulty will be polarizing, the game is stuffed with content, and since it’s available at a budget price, picking it up is a no-brainer.

    Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled is another exemplary update for a classic game that desperately needed refreshing after remaining somewhat dormant for several console generations. True, there were other iterations, but this one has always remained the best out of the group. Activision and Beenox did well to make the tweaks they did and otherwise pack this new version of a classic chock-full of reasons to return to the game so many years later.

    Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled

    As I delve into Crash Team Racing, it's impossible to ignore certain aspects that stand out, not all for the best. Firstly, while the game faithfully replicates the mechanics of the original, they sometimes feel a bit archaic compared to the polished dynamics of contemporary racers. This, I find, might not resonate well with those who are new to the franchise. The difficulty, especially in adventure mode and time trials, is notably challenging. This steep learning curve can be daunting for casual gamers or those less accustomed to the series. The updated graphics, impressive as they are, create a bit of a disconnect with the game's classic aesthetic, which might not sit well with hardcore fans of the original. And then there's the inclusion of microtransactions for cosmetics. Although they don't affect gameplay, their presence feels like a departure from the game's simpler, purer roots. Despite these points, Crash Team Racing does hold its ground as an enjoyable and engaging kart racer. However, these elements might dampen the overall experience for some, including myself
