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!!!!

Get Crash Team Racing too if you haven't already

This is a review from somebody who hadn't played any kart racing games except for the Mario Kart series until a few weeks ago. And I've gotta say -- Crash Nitro Kart is a lot of fun. The whole control scheme with its three boosts in a row takes a while to learn, but that's a good thing, because you can have a blast playing while you are learning. Also, there are so many modes and so much to complete (I just discovered the course ghosts in time trial mode for example) that this game will probably keep you coming back. And, if you really take the time to learn this game and get good, the 'hard' difficulty mode in Cup Tournament mode is a big plus - it is actually hard. It is much more challenging and much better than 150cc in Mario Kart Double Dash.

I bought this game at the same time I bought Crash Team Racing, a 1999 game for PS1. I would recommend getting both. You can learn one game and complete its adventure mode, then move on to the other, then come back to the first one and put to the test what you learned in the other. I've done a lot of that. If you just get one get CTR - it's a little bit better game with slightly better controls, more tracks and more interesting tracks, but I would recommend both.

We first tried CTR for playstation and loved it. Then we found Crash Nitro Kart and really thought it kicked butt. Anybody that doesn't think that it's equally as good, if not better then the orginal CTR, is looking way to deep into the game. It's a fun, competitive racing game with great graphics, creative power-ups and cool characters. I would totally suggest owning all of the Bandicott racing games.

Crash Nitro Kart....

Considering the fact that I recently purchased the Gameboy Advance Crash Nitro Kart and had an absolute blast with it, I was curious to check out the console version. First thing that amazed me about it was how the game looked graphically, I've seen alot of beautiful games on the PS2 and this is, by far, the best one I've seen on the system yet. Everything is colorful, vibrant, and, at times, literally breathtaking. The game itself takes a 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' approach, meaning there's really nothing innovative or new to the game...it's basically like Crash Team Racing(for the PS1) more or less. Course, Crash Team Racing is a classic beloved by all and is, often referred to as, the only Kart Racer out there to match Mario Kart. So, that's not such a bad thing after all. In this game, Crash and the whole gang are, basically, kidnapped by a villian named Velo and forced to race his lackeys to save the earth. The object of the game is to race for first place and tag buddies with as many power-ups as possible to undermine their chances of winning. Players can choose from all of the characters in Crash's world and even unlock hidden ones, as well as play though several gameplay modes. The best one, to me, being the Adventure mode. Adventure Mode has 17 different tracks in five different worlds. Races are either against a field of seven others or up against a boss character. Once these races have been completed, you must round up the relics and whatnot to finish the whole mode to achieve 100%.

The only two gripes I have with the game; which, take note, don't take away anything from the game are...one, there's no Spyro in the game(bummer)to race with or- at least- that I know of like there is in the GBA game. Second, I wish there was a more frantic sense of speed to the game. Even though there's not, what speed that is there, works.

All in all, Crash Nitro Kart is just as addictive as the Gameboy Advance game and a good addition to the Crash Team Racing game. It's one of those games I'd recommend to all for a lil family competition. I love it...

Crash Nitro Kart Is The Best!!!!

This game is awesome. I don't know why people are saying the cars are difficult to control. My 5 year old got this for Christmas and he has no problem controlling them. My other two children and my husband all can play. It is similar to CTR (Crash Team Racing) The only difference is that there are different levels and more weapons. It is a blast. My 5 year old can't put it down. I would highly recommend this game to everyone. It gives you hours of enjoyment.

Great Game

This is a great crash game. If you like Crash, you'll like this game. It is kind of like crash team racing. The only complaint I have is that my game froze in the middle of the game.

One of the best games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a fun game for people who like cartoon racing plus a little cartoon violence. You drive around in a car and can use missiles and through bombs.

Addictive Fun

I am an adult, and I still love this game. The whimsical and crazy characters make this game appealing to children, but it is challenging enough for teens and adults to play. I actually played Crash Team Racing all the time with my older brother, and I seized the opportunity to buy Nitro Kart, and I must say I am very much impressed with the gameplay, graphics, and overall package. This game has a bunch of extras: new characters, unlockable items, new goodies to shoot and use against your opponents on the track. I would say this is probably one of the funnest games you could play by yourself or with another.
