I love this game. It is probably the hardest kart racing game I've ever played, but it is so much more fun than any Mario Kart game I've ever played imo.
You can't fall sleep behind the wheel in this one, it ain't like Mario Kart where most of the modes are easy as hell. Here, you have to stay alert at all times because any wrong move will cause you to lose the race...And that is just against the bots!
I love the drifting and boosting system this game goes for, it's more of a risk vs reward situation. If you want to go fast in this game, you have to master not just the controls, but the tracks as well... And lemme tell you, some of these tracks are a BITCH to race through.
This game is great, because there are so many tracks and characters from Crash's history, and it doesn't really have that many downsides......But the ones it does have...? Oh boy...
Yeah, this game is filled to the brim with content....Content that you have to unlock, either by playing the game a lot...Or macrotransactions. Yes, macro, because most of the good shit you can actually unlock in this game, like ALMOST THE ENTIRE CAST OF CHARACTERS AND SKINS, are all behind a paywall.
This game is one of the scummiest examples of a greedy videogame company charging me money for a game I ALREADY PAID FOR. It really doesn't incentivize to play much, when no matter how much I play, every single alternate costume and character is behind a store rotation, and a price so ridiculously high, that I would have to play like a 100 races or more, just to get enough to purchase just ONE ITEM.
It's not like I could tho. Online servers for this game were pretty much dead since week one on Switch, since everyone else is playing Mario Kart 8 instead. And playing locally with friends is a massive chore, because the loading screens in this game are ETERNAL; it takes a while for anything to happen, at least on Switch.
I just fucking hate Activision/Blizzard for not releasing this shit on PC where it could actually have an active community, and also for killing this game by filling it with shameless macrotransactions. Truly, fuck these companies man, I'm so glad Toys for Bob cut ties with them.

Faz muito jus ao original e é muito lindo. Continuo sem conseguir passar da fase do balão.
+ Xbox Series X
Poderia ser 5 estrelas se não demorasse tanto pra ganhar as moedas do jogo
They managed to do justice for a PS1 classic that I couldn't originally stand and feeling it was always a lame Mario Kart rip-off for then missing out a pretty fun game.
Instead: both the original (that aged like fine wine tbh) and this are/is (can we consider it the basically the same game with also all the nice QoLs and extras? Tysm) the best alternative of Mario Kart beside Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
