Remaking a video game is a tricky situation. A developer needs to retain the overall feel of the original to avoid alienating the fanbase while updating the game to meet the expectations of modern gamers. Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled, at least so far, manages to find that distinct groove between retro and cutting edge.
Let’s get the obvious out of the way: CTR’s reboot looks fantastic. As eye-popping as its reveal was at The Game Awards last December, Crash Team Racing looks even better in person. Beenox has developed this remake from the ground up, using bespoke assets, sound effects, and animations to create something wholly their own. Even at top speed, you’ll see little flourishes and secrets hidden behind the twists and turns of the course you’re on. It’s a nice touch and one that absolutely could not have existed in the original back in 1999.
