 Crash Nitro Kart....... January 4, 2006

Crash's kart hijinks started years ago on the Playstation as Crash Team Racing. As we all know, Naughty Dog handled that game and it was one of the serious contenders that went up against Mario Kart. Vivendi Universal wanted to return to that success by letting Vicarious Visions(Creators of Crash's two GBA adventures) create Crash Nitro Kart for the Gameboy Advance as well as for the present console systems. For the most part, Crash Nitro Kart is an enjoyable racer that shows attention to car handling, challenge, track design, and a ton of racing modes. The coolest things about the game, to me anyways, is the Boost element(In a powerslide, the racer quickly builds up a boost meter that must be activated at a specific time, and a successful powerslide can give skilled players as many as three linked boosts; This is one thing that definitely sets it apart from Mario Kart), the time trial where players can rank their times at the Vicarious Visions website and the fact there are alot of unlockables(like being able to race as Spyro, which is my favorite). The game features 11 racers, arcade & adventure modes, link cable support for up to 4 players, 3 games saves, and connectivity to the Gamecube version. The story to the game tells that Crash and the gang land on a remote planet where they've been kidnapped by the "evil" Emperor Velo, forced to race against the alien posse as well as Neo Cortex and his crew of cronies, while Crash is racing to save the world...Neo has other plans.
The version I played has only froze up on me once, so far, and as far as slowdown is concerned--I've seen very little in the game. So, there's very little for me to gripe about. Vicarious Visions utilizes a mode-7 design to the game to give it more of a 3-D feel, the control is dead-on in the game, and the graphics look brilliant. It might not have as much polish to it as Mario Kart Super Circuit does as it looks, at least to me, like the older Super Mario Kart on the SNES. At any rate, though, it's the gameplay that counts to me and this game has got alot.
It's an excellent kart racer that builds upon ideas established in both Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing as well as other GBA kart racers. To me, this game rates second to the two aforementioned racers and is definitely one every GBA owner should have in their collection of games on the go.
On a sidenote, if you own one of the Crash Nitro Kart games that freezes, or slows down during play....may i suggest that you get the Crash Superpack(which has Crash Nitro Kart & Crash Bandicoot: N-tranced on it). I've seen even less of both those problems on that game cartridge when testing it alongside my copy of CNK. Hopefully, Vivendi Universal has corrected the problem as best it can with the superpack version.

This game was so cool!!!! Remember I said WAS so cool.
I sold the game to blockbuster for 2 STINKING BUCKS!!!!!
I was expecting at least $10 for it!!!! It just so happens that I love racing games and I love games with a lot of unlockable stuff. Now I'm starting to wish that I didn't sell the game.
But enough about me. Lets start talking about the game.
You can play adventure mode or arcade mode. arcade mode is just a quick single race. Adventure mode is when you get to unlock the stuff and its when the story starts.
You can pick the evil team or the good team. You are kidnapped by some weird guy named Velo and forced to race on different tracks in which you have to come in first place. Eventually you have to race against Velo himself, and if you beat him you unlock him and get to race as him.
This game is pretty cool, and now I wish I hadn't sold it.
