Each track is locked by how many trophies you have, and to gain trophies you have to come first in each track, which makes it a very linear experience instead of doing whichever track you want in each section. The world and races are divided into sections and each new section is unlocked by defeating the boss and collecting the key to open the door. Once he issues this challenge everyone begins to work on their karts and then the races begin. If Nitros Oxide wins, he will enslave the people of Earth, but if he loses, he swears to leave Earth alone. CTR: Nitro-Fueled’s adventure mode begins with a visit to planet Earth from an alien named Nitros Oxide who challenges the residents of Earth – aka Crash and the Team – to a game called “Survival of the Fastest”. The mode I played the most so far is Adventure Mode, which is the main single-player story, even though it isn’t much a story. I also felt that the CPU players in adventure mode were always faster than me regardless of how many times I hit a perfect boost drift or if I had 10 Wumpa Fruit, it could have been that my difficulty was at medium, but I never felt like I had the advantage. There are Wumpa Fruits you can collect on every track and – similar to Mario Kart 8’s coins – if you collect 10 they increase your speed, but in CTR: Nitro-Fueled, collecting 10 fruits can also enhance your items, which I never really noticed unless it was the TNT box turning into a Nitro one. I’m not a huge fan of the items in CTR: Nitro-Fueled mainly because there isn’t a tonne that can help you when you have fallen behind, which meant I was restarting races whenever I fell off the map or was bombarded with items to put me in last place. I actually like that it gives you something to do other than race and throw items. You can gain three boosts from one drift until you have to hop out of the drift into another one to get another three boosts, which is kind of weird at first because it's awkward to control, but I got used to it pretty quickly. The closer you are to the sweet spot the better boost you get.

It’s similar to Mario Kart’s, but instead of gaining a higher boost the more you drift, you have to hit the drift button whenever the smoke from your kart goes black or whenever the meter in the lower right corner gets full to earn your nitro boost. I had issues with it in the beginning few races because I was treating it like Mario Kart 8, and while I think that knowledge helped me learn it quicker, winning became considerably easier once I understood how it worked and I started to have a lot more fun with it. CTR: Nitro-Fueled is all about its nitro mechanic and if you don’t master it quickly, you’re probably going to lose a lot. So, I changed it to the alternative control scheme which swaps the inputs for accelerating and jump/drift and the game felt much better. Reason being, I think the 60fps is why Mario Kart 8 feels as good as it does and – while this game is still fun – I think it could have definitely benefited from it.Īs soon as I started my first race in Nitro-Fueled, I immediately knew that I had to change the controls because the default ones were cramping my hand after only one race.

I think a 60fps 1080p lock would have been better. The only issue I have is the 30fps and 1440p. The characters and their karts also look great and I think it's awesome that they have different skins including an old model from the original game. Whenever I wasn’t focused on winning, I was always admiring the visuals. The majority of the 30-plus tracks play great and all look excellent, from the environment surrounding them to the objects that sometimes intentionally disrupt the race.
Although it only runs at 30fps and 1440p, every area and its tracks are so bright, vibrant and full of colour/life and with the motion blur that’s implemented, it has this cinematic appearance that looks awesome when using items or when items are being used around you.

It’s no Mario Kart 8, but it’s still a very solid kart racer with a surprising amount of content, beautiful visuals and a lot of different modes to play around with.Īesthetically, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled looks fantastic on the PS4 Pro and a 4K TV. That being said, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled ( CTR: Nitro-Fueled) surprised me because I had a lot more fun with this game than I expected too. This is a weird one for me because I never played the original Crash Team Racing on the PlayStation, so I’m not going into this with the nostalgia that most people who were thrilled for this seem to have.
