Crash team racing nitro fueled review2/27/2024 ![]() Starting on the sunny N.Sanity Beach you begin your mission by racing on the familiar Crash Cove track where you have 3 laps to come in first place and beat the other 7 AI racers. In order to do this you must race through a series of themed worlds each with tracks to conquer and boss battles to win. Your task is to prove yourself as the ultimate racer on Crash’s world and to go up against this dastardly villain. The real reason you are probably reading this is to see how good CTRNF is, should you buy it or not? My answer to that? If you love Crash Bandicoot and his posse, love racing games such as Mario Kart and also want to have a spark of nostalgia return to you after all these years then Yes, go get it! I haven’t put CTRNF down since I bought it.ĬTRNF features a single player Adventure mode, along with a fun story where your world has been threatened by evil self-proclaimed fastest racer in the universe, Nitros Oxide. If they remain rooted in Crash Bandicoot's rich history, we would be extremely okay with that.Well, it is finally here! after all the hype and excitement I finally got hold of a copy of Activision’s Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled (referred to herein as CTRNF.) Having not played it for many many years since its original form on the PS1, it is scary to think that when CTR originally came out I was 19, young, free and playing the field, with no real responsibilities, and here I am age 38 with a wife, mortgage and 4 kids, how times change! The Crash Bandicoot franchise seems very much alive since the successful launch of the N’sane Trilogy, how will this blend of Crash Team Racing, Crash Nitro Kart and Crash Tag Team Racing work out? Will dev Beenox be able to resurrect the nostalgia? Hey! Who turned out the lights?! Gameplay ![]() It might not be as polished as its Nintendo-based rival, but why would it be? Nitro-Fueled exceeded the expectations we had for it, and who knows? Perhaps if things go well enough, we could be on the cusp of Activision launching a series of new CTR games going forward. That being said, Nitro-Fueled is exactly what we wanted it to be. Considering the history at its disposal and the amount of time and dollars that have been pumped into the Mario Kart franchise, it is probably an unfair comparison to make. With a game like this, it is only natural to directly compare it to Mario Kart, whether you mean to or not. Players can simply try to eliminate one another using the game's weapons, or you can make things a little more interesting, such as a few rounds of Capture The Flag, a mode first introduced via Crash Nitro Kart. We're not sure how everyone we've faced so far got so good so fast, but we'll be winning online races soon enough, mark our words.Īfter we managed to tear ourselves away from Nitro-Fueled's Adventure Mode, and then got fed up of having our behinds handed to us online, we rediscovered the reason why we fell in love with CTR 20 years ago: Battle Mode, which are arenas in which racers go head-to-head, rather than compete alongside one another. Eight players meet in the lobby, pick their racers, vote for a track, and the fun begins. Nitro-Fueled's online capabilities are pretty basic, but that's really all they need to be. One thing the original CTR definitely didn't have was an online element, for obvious reasons. Plus, more importantly, it's fun to do and won't cost you anything extra. ![]() Not all of them are available from the very start, but playing through Adventure Mode and earning coins to purchase the rest in the Pit Stop is easy enough. The exact same game as the original with updated graphics probably wouldn't have been enough, but Activision gave us more, including tracks and characters from CTR's two follow up games, Crash Nitro Kart and Crash Tag Team Racing.
