It seems that the last crash game I reviewed was not the last, In 2003, they released a crash racing game for the Game boy advance, this game is called Crash nitro kart, will this game be an awesome great kart racer? Or will it be another game to add to the shelf? Let's just go ahead and find out.

Story-7/10
This story of this game seems to be that Crash and his friends are just relaxing back at the house, then suddenly a beam of light abducts the house, Our hero crash takes off his shades and realizes that this isn't just a beam of light, It's an alien abduction! That's right, an evil emperor by the name of velo is kidnapping Crash and friends and is forcing them to compete in his Intergalactic racing tournament, this time, It's up to Crash and his friends to race for their lives and get out of Velo's world!

Gameplay-8/10
Crash nitro kart plays like a bunch of other kart racers on the Game boy advance, except for one thing, the way this game is played reminds me alot of Cartoon network speedway for the Game boy advance, mainly because The game puts your from behind your character. But anyways, this game offers quite alot of modes. Adventure mode takes you the game's storyline, Quick race lets you race on any track for fun, VS mode lets you play with a friend via link cable, And Time trial mode lets you play through any track by yourself trying to get the best time. Anyways, in adventure mode, you will be going through 4 big distinct worlds, each offering 4 different challenges, Trophy race, which has you racing through the track to finish in first place, Time trial mode which has you racing through the track on the fastest time possible to win a time relic, CNK challenges which have you racing through the track while collecting the letters C N and K and finishing in first place to win a CNK token, And last but not least, Crystal challenges which have you driving around a big area collecting 20 crystals, collecting all crystals awards you with a purple token, failing to collect all the crystals awards you nothing. After collecting all trophies in a world, you are awarded with a chance to fight the boss in the world, the bosses are pretty hard and will require much more skill and strategy to beat. There are two stories to play through, Team bandicoot, which features Crash bandicoot, Coco bandicoot, and Crunch bandicoot, These are the good guys, so you'll wanna choose them. But on the other hand, there is also the evil Team cortex, which features, Dr neo cortex, Tiny tiger, and N gin.

Graphics-8/10
Wow! The graphics in this racer are quite nice. I mean sure it may be hard to see some things, but overall it still does look pretty nice, especially considering that this is the Game boy advance, so you gotta cut it some slack there. But all the worlds tracks and locales you'll be exploring are bursting with vibrant color. Except for one thing, each of the characters you'll be controlling and racing as all feel kind of the same, not that it's a bad thing. I mean in games like Mario kart, all the characters all feel different from each other, making it more fun to race as them. Nah! I'm just kidding, if I remember correctly, all the characters in this game has "Stats", which go in 3 different categories, Speed, Handling, and Acceleration. The HUD in each race is self explanatory, the top left hand corner shows your current position the race and the top 4 racers, and the top right hand corner of the screen shows how much wumpa fruit you have currently, the current lap in the race, and a big map of the race track. I say, this is pretty nice for a Mario kart clone.

Sound-7/10
The soundtrack, one of the reasons why I really love crash bandicoot. All the music in this game is OK...nothing really to write home about, Not to be negative or anything, but some of the songs and I say SOME of the songs can get quite forgettable and repetitive, one example is the boss theme for whenever you're racing a boss, It keeps looping itself. There's nothing wrong with repetition if it's done right. A high point of the game though, is that it uses voice clips from the characters! For example, when crash gets slowed down in the race, he will shout out the phrase "WOAH!" Or when he speeds of a ramp or turbo, he will say "WOW-WEE!" I say, all the voices are well done for a Game boy advance game! The game also uses awesome voice actors too, Crash and velo are voiced by Steven jay blum of Cowboy bebop and naruto fame, Cortex is voiced by Clancy brown of Spongebob squarepants fame. This is just excellently done!

Addictiveness-9/10
The game is quite fun for a kart racer, It has alot of charm and whatnot to keep you coming back for more. This is the kind of game that you will NEVER EVER want to shelve, It's just too innocent for that kind of stuff! I also have had alot of fun playing with my friends Via link cable! I mean seriously, Racing against your friends, how can that not be fun?

Depth-10/10
This game just has SOOOOOOOO much to offer for the player! The adventure mode mostly, It tooks me about 3 weeks to 100% the whole entire game! This is why whenever I review a crash game, I always rate it a Ten in the depth value, Because there is simply so much to do in a crash game It never gets tiring. So in general, crash games will always be remembered for their insane amount of replay value...Am I right everybody? Btw, VS mode never gets stale too....

Difficulty-5/10
In my honest opinion, the game isn't really that hard to play through. Except for some of those time trial challenges, they can really get me at times! But mostly it's the bosses that can give me a hard time more then anything else....

Overall-9.2/10
In general, I recommend you play this game! It is without a doubt the best kart racer you can get on the market today! Heck, for the Game boy advance that is. So I gave this game a 9.2 because how additively fun it is and how much it offers for you.  So that is if for this review! Buy this game now!
