With all eighteen racers, a slew of tracks, and several gameplay modes, you're going to get some serious mileage out of the game.

It’s a nice, solid game that unfortunately suffers problems because of the N-Gage’s design.

Crash Nitro Kart has solid gameplay and is a lengthy affair but the combination of the narrow screen, close-up perspective and control issues bring the game down a few notches.

The game is fun and colorful. While the screen size and the size of the characters does make you a bit frustrated at times, the game is still very fun to play. And after a while you will know the tracks and it may become less frustrating, but it is still a big pain.

The gameplay is fundamentally solid, the graphics are sharp and run smoothly, and there's just plenty of stuff to do, both in the single-player and multiplayer modes. But the narrow field of vision has a dramatically negative effect on the whole experience, cross-canceling many of the game's positive traits.

The variety of courses, power-ups, and the decent sense of speed are not enough to make up for a camera, which literally makes you feel sick.

Crash Nitro Kart has a lot here and if it wasn't for the poor, restricted racing view, I would be very much inclined to give it a higher score.

A game perfect for killing short time intervals, especially for people who get bored easily.

The chuggy framerate makes for erratic maneuvering to begin with, and the tunnel vision of the screen will have you constantly wondering, "What the hell is going on here?"

Despite some great modes to explore and decent graphics, comes to a halt with its slippery gameplay and stunted speed. Honestly, you'd have more fun racing snails.
