This 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.
