Crash Nitro Kart is a racing game that was also released on the Game Boy Advance in 2003.
+ Decent course design, timing-based powerslide mechanic is rewarding, and some of the non-racing collecting tasks are fun.
- Camera is excessively zoomed in, which doesn't allow you to see fellow opponents and item boxes with any degree of certainty.
- Likewise, the portrait screen limits visibility, making it alarmingly difficult to see upcoming turns and actually stay on the track.
- Has an enormous amount of over-steer when trying to turn corners, which leaves you disorientated and scrambling to correct.
- Drifting doesn't feel as natural as on the GBA due to the lack of shoulder buttons, and using multiple face buttons is convoluted.
- There's nothing here that advances the kart racing genre, and the Arcade cup mode only allows for singular laps.
