Crash Nitro Kart (PlayStation 2)

If any kart-racing game has managed to rival the quality of the famed Mario Kart franchise, it would be Naughty Dog's Crash Team Racing for the PlayStation. Though it did little to change the kart-racing formula defined by Super Mario Kart, it set...

Crash Nitro Kart Review

If you don't own a GCN but wish you could get in on some karting, Justin Davis recommends Crash Nitro Kart. Details in his review.

If you played Crash Team Racing I suggest you give CNK a rent first to see if the extreme similarities are too much of a turn off for you. They lowered my opinion of the game slightly, but it's still a quite enjoyable package. If Mario Kart isn't your...

Crash Nitro Kart

Crash is back in the driver's seat with a next-gen update of his popular Karting franchise. Does this intergalactic speedway burn rubber, or get stuck in the pit?

Colorful graphics; fun weapon assortment; cool team-up function

Lacking speed; thin multiplayer courses; weak course editor

Crash Nitro Kart Review

Crash Nitro Kart is a somewhat addictive and enjoyable race game wrapped in sterling graphical elements

Rent it or buy it - this is a game that is great to look and is somewhat addictive. Yes, the action is a little mindless, but the game is, nonetheless, enjoyable.

Crash Nitro Kart review

First, I need to disclose to the readers that I would have had my review of this game up earlier had Nokia been more steadfast in sending me my review copy. I have also delayed the review, awaiting a second copy for multi-player gameplay, but I...

While IÃ¢â¬â¢d have loved to play multi-player with friends, and would have easily bumped the score had I been allowed to, the game is solid nonetheless. The increasingly stagnant N-Gage lineup has been revived in recent months with Tiger Woods,...

Crash Nitro Kart: Playstation 2 (PS2) Reviews - The Armchair Empire

Crash Nitro Kart without a doubt doesn't live up to the Mario Kart series. That doesn't necessarily mean CNK is a bad game. It may be a clone of the Mario Kart games but CNK can be a bit more unique then Mario Kart in one...

Fun 4 Kids!

I have played most of Crash games since the beginning and have loved them all! This game is brilliant however for myself it was just far too easy! Unlike the first crash nitro kart for the ps1 you can even win if you place 5th or less. Along as your...
