  1. An especially well constructed title, with plenty of modes of play to satisfy all but the most insane.
  2. Good graphics, sound and spot-on control makes this game perfect for racing fans on any ilk. [Fall 2003, p.43]

    Sharp visuals, solid handling, and a rollicking soundtrack are joined by some slightly inventive play mechanics.

    It's a real shame about the slowdown in Crash Nitro Kart for the Game Boy Advance. Without these patches of sluggish action, the game would be a close contender for best kart racer on the handheld.
  5. The characters aren't nearly as popular as those in Nintendo's game, but the deeper gameplay makes up for that to an extent.
  6. 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]
