Crash Nitro Kart

"BLAH!"

INTRO:
Ok, this game is poo. First off, the game isn't made by Naughty Dog, which isn't a first I might add! The ''Wrath of Cortex'' was made by some company, not sure what, but I KNOW it isn't Naughty Dog. I wasn't up to date with the GBA Crash Bandicoot games so I don't know who made those. The games made by Naughty Dog were pretty sweet! But back to the actual game.

Storyline:
This game, just about follows the CTR storyline.
This one- I'm pretty sure it goes SOMETHING like this-
Oh blah I kidnap you, I like entertainment so race for me. Whoever wins controls the world. How BORING. Even so the first was boring-the whole parking lot thing- I would prefer the parking lot.

Game Length-
Considering the fact that there is four worlds and three levels in each world, this game is veeery short!!! You can easily beat this game in 3 days or less. Oh yeah, not to mention the fact that ALL of the bosses in this game are quite simple. In some bosses when you race 3 guys, it counts as one place. But, you have to skip the main guy and not the other minion guys. Which could get very confusing!

Characters:
I don't get why they took away Dingodile,Polar and Pura!
They put N.Trance,Oxide and Crunch... but they still should have kept the originals. N.Trance looks like a Mcnugget..

GamePlay/Level Design-
In CTR if there were a loop it would be cool. In CNK on the other hand... there is a loop in basically every level! At first you may THINK that is cool. But it is not. The camera view doesn't follow you to make the loop look like a loop! THAT IS a POOR quality about the game. The team thing is a slightly good add-on. Also, the AI's of the characters aren't programmed so good. Your team mate insults you, and there is only aprox.2-3 things each character says. And they sound so bad and everything. I am not so sure where to put this but I will put this here, you cant skip a part of the intro which is long and irritating! Which will then effect the replay value...

Replay Value-
Hmmm.. there is really nothing to do with this game after you beat it the first time because there is no difference between the two teams to choose from. They both have the same stats!

OVERALL-
Rent it-if you dare touch this wretched game!- Also, if you get it as a Christmas present, or any present at that matter you might want to play it, then if you are bored with it under the time of the warranty crack it and return it!
