  1. Good graphics, sound and spot-on control makes this game perfect for racing fans on any ilk. [Fall 2003, p.43]
  2. An especially well constructed title, with plenty of modes of play to satisfy all but the most insane.
  3. 80
    Sharp visuals, solid handling, and a rollicking soundtrack are joined by some slightly inventive play mechanics.
  4. Although Crash Nitro Kart doesn't bring anything new to the kart-racing genre, it's a fast and amusing play that Crash Bandicoot fans will enjoy. [Feb 2004, p.152]
