I wanted to start off saying that I love the original PS1 version of crash team racing and wanted to give the Nintendo switch version I try and it was pretty good but I noticed right away that the graphics were not quite there and nobody I knew you had it on the Nintendo switch so I couldn’t play online with anyone I knew so I gave it a try on Xbox series S and I noticed right away that the graphics and gameplay were a lot better plus I know people they have a game on the Xbox so I can play online with them if I choose to. Anyways switch version is good but I prefer the Xbox one because I got it on sale and better graphics. Let Mario have the Nintendo switch and let Crash have PlayStation/XboxThis review is for the Switch version. What a fun game! I've tried the Adventure, Arcade and Online modes and all work great without exception. As soon as the game was delivered my 8 year old daughter was giddy about putting the game in and racing pops 1 on 1. She has played the Crash Trilogy on Switch and knows the Crash games aren't as easy as some of the Mario games including Mario Kart with "kid mode" enabled. I told her CTR would not have a kid mode and to plan to get used to the joystick control for steering. We played arcade mode out of the box to get right into the action. Several characters were available to choose from along with a long list of colorful and fun levels. In "easy" mode she did struggle some, placing 7th or 8th in the races. But she had a smile on her race the entire time! Easy mode is a bit faster than 50cc Mario Kart, and the other modes leave tons of room to challenge the most seasoned racers. Arcade mode in split screen (2 player) looks great on the Switch, with no noticeable drop in framerate or graphic detail. However, when we added a 3rd person the screen split to four boxes and things became heavily pixelated and there seemed to be a drop in the framerate. This was in dock mode, connected to a LG OLED with the settings where they need to be. The Switch definitely was the weak link in the 3-4 player action. I suspect my Xbox One X or PS4 Pro would handle that without issue as it isn't exactly Witcher 3 details. Online mode worked fine, finding 5 players to connect with, and launching with relatively minimal wait times. Yes, there are load screens in the Switch version, sometimes upwards of 30 seconds. These wait times were present in online, arcade and Adventure modes. Online mode exposed I have a long way to go in mastering this game as playing in "easy" against my 8 year old wasn't much of a challenge. Meanwhile, a 10 year old in Wisconsin drove circles around me in Online mode. You will notice there are tons of characters, carts and aesthetic features that can be unlocked. I found the quickest way to do that is by playing the Adventure mode. Each time you complete a race in Adventure mode you are rewarded with a new unlocked feature. Easy mode was easy, but again appropriate for a kid, or someone who wants to quickly unlock stuff. All in all an excellent game. My 8 year old asked to race as soon as she woke up today, so clearly it is a hit for old and young racers alike. A bit of a learning curve for those who haven't played Mario Kart and also a bit faster, but that's part of why I love Crash games. They give you a challenge while also leaving you satisfed (even if you get 8th place). Suggestions for developers: reduce loading times on Switch version, enable gyroscope controls similar to Mario Kart, and consider a "kid mode" . I would not hesitate to order this game, especislly if you have kids or friends to race online.Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled is a remaster of the original Crash Team Racing (Sept. 1999) and Crash Nitro Kart (Nov. 2003). CTR allows you to choose between two modes from the main menu: Nitro Fueled and Classic. The former represents a new spin on progression that is geared more towards modern players, with a full suite of customization options as well as character and cart changes that can be done between races(unlike the original). The latter is a mirrored experience from what we have played back on the PlayStation, where you only get to play as a single character from beginning to end, even though you still get all the rewards along the way. The game is packed with content, boasting 25 different characters, 31 tracks and a ton of collectability (relics, trophies, tokens and keys). If you happen to be like me, and you had a hard time really connecting with Mario Kart alternatives like the recent ‘Team Sonic Racing’, this game might change your mind, since it plays more like Mario Kart and has some cool features that set it apart from the rest. Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled has some new features in this remaster, outside of the already gorgeous graphics that allow this entry to remain faithful to the original release. The game has three main components that weren’t present in the original: online play, kart customizations (akin to Mario Kart 8) and limited-time Grand Prix events. The Grand Prix events are pretty cool because they act as a long-term, post-game incentive to keep playing after completion. These Grand Prix events will provide free updates that occasionally give us some new tracks, events and challenges. Upon completion of these temporary challenges on these new tracks, you will earn ‘Nitro Points’, which will act as in-game currency to unlock new characters, karts and other various goodies. This game is definitely jam-packed with content, and acts as a masterful nostalgia trip that reminds us that even old games can be remade into something fresh and exciting. Whether you have played the original or not, this is a fantastic kart racer that is totally worth picking up.para mi es una reliquia porque jugue hace muchos años este juego , ahora que tengo nintendo switch volvi a ver alternativas de juegos y adquiri este sin pensarlo, no se que pase con los vendedores, el precio variaba conforme pasaban los dias, lo compre y horas después mas barato, horas después mas caro.Ofrece guardar partida local, desbloqueo de niveles, calcomanías conforme ganas carreras, hay algunos retos CRT o de cristal parecen imposibles de superar, sin contar la misma pista creo jugué como 100 veces (sí, estaba oxidado en el juego)hace menos de una semana hubo actualización y cambio el brillo de los competidores y el carro también.Absolutely frustrating and fun at the same time, honestly if you don't get your timing right for boosting in this game consider yourself last.While I see everyone saying its better than Mario Kart 8, the truth is that it's not as it suffer from a mechanic known as rubber-banding. Basically no matter how good a lead you take the computer is always magically pushed to be right behind you. Hence it is challenging and fun but you have to be at your best.Also while Mario Kart doesn't have the flawed rubber-banding, it's frustration is items which is something this game has balanced out. Another horrible thing the developer has done is put in micro transactions (pay real money to unlock things) which is absolutely not right but at the same time it's not like major things are tied to spending actual money as a good amount of grinding in the game will get you what you need to better your driving.Overall it's a great game and a must buy if you want to enjoy Crash Team Racing on the go. If that's not your priority then get the game for the PS4/XBOX ONE as they are graphically better and cheaper.My kid and I played through every track on Mario Kart 8 countless times, and he wanted to try a new racing game with a similar style. After a couple of duds like Cars 3: Driven to Win and Team Sonic Racing, we found Crash Team Racing. It's not quite as good as MK of course, but it's cartoony, easy to learn and fun for younger kids.Hasta parece que no es un juego de Activision, lo compre de salida y desde entonces no ha dejado de recibir contenido gratis en eventos con nuevas pistas, nuevos personajes, nuevos cars, es relativamente fácil si juegas en línea conseguir todo, sin embargo el defecto es que si solo juegas de manera local no lograras desbloquear mucho.CTR fue en su momento el mejor Mario Kart, el problema es que en el presente le toca enfrentarse al insuperable MK 8, sin embargo vale mucho la pena revivir esas muy buenas pistas. El battle mode es hermoso con todos los compas. Ah y alcanzar el triple turbo sigue logrando que uno se sienta como campeón.
