Brukt Playstation 2 game

Complete with box and instructions

Something of a Mario Kart clone, 1999s Crash Team Racing was one of PlayStations final major releases, appearing just a year before PS2 was released. It does look a little dated by todays standards, so Vicarious Visions came up with the bright idea to develop a karting sequel for PlayStation 2, ingeniously named Crash Nitro Kart.

Dragging the karting spin-off into the next generation, Crash Nitro Kart doesnt bring anything particularly new to the series, but the visuals have been updated, boasting cleaner textures, and some great animations and special effects.

But people dont usually buy racing games to gawk at visual goodness. They want a fast-paced competition thats always good to come back to, and thats exactly what Crash Nitro Kart is all about. Featuring just about every major character from the Crash universe, including the notorious Neo Cortex, Nitro Kart pits players in 17 high-speed fantasy raceways that take place on volcanoes, futuristic cities and space stations, to name but a few.

The single player game can be played in the style of an adventure, whilst arcade and time trial modes offer a classic racing experience and an incentive to better your lap times. But any racing games strongest point is its ability to offer frenetic multi-player action, and Nitro Kart doesnt disappoint. Where Crash Team Racings multi-player option came across as a developer afterthought, Nitro Kart is much more extensive, incorporating exclusive battle arenas and even an arena editor for greater longevity.

A typical karting extravaganza, Crash Nitro Kart is everything it was promised to be.
