Similar to the Crash Bandicoot platformer games, these colour Gems are the hardest to obtain and will require you to throw the kart around every corner at top speed, as well as hope for a heap of luck. Come first overall in this and you will be rewarded with a colour Gem.
#Crash team racing review series
Winning this grants you a CTR token: Collect four of the same colour and you can then attempt the Gem Cup for that colour, which is a series of four races. Then there are CTR challenges that are similar to normal races, but you have to finish first whilst also collecting the letters C, T and R that are hidden throughout the track. Relic Race will test your skills as you try and get the best time possible on each track there won’t be any opponents to distract you and time crates are dotted around to help you reduce your overall time, but that doesn’t mean this is easy. After defeating the boss for that area though, each original race opens back up with numerous new challenges. Each area has four trophies to win before you can take on the boss for the key. Complete a race the first time – that is to come in first position, anything else isn’t good enough – and you will win a trophy. This is an absolutely crucial tactic for even beginners to master if you want the best times.Īs with any Crash game though, keys aren’t the only things to collect in these races. You can drift around corners using the bumper buttons but a well-timed press of the other bumper whilst drifting can give you a speed boost. The racing is very much as-you-would-expect eight characters line up on the start line and complete three laps of crazy twisty turny courses, using the variety of power ups picked up by smashing through boxes to propel you along the track or – more commonly – attack your opponents. Obviously, the first CTR game is front and centre of this package, but certain tracks and characters have been brought over from the original sequels, with more planned through in-game events known as Grand Prixs. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled isn’t just a simple remake of the first Crash Team Racing game though – a criticism you could throw the way of the N.Sane Trilogy if you were super critical – but rather an amalgamation of the other Crash racing games as well: Crash Nitro Kart and Crash Tag Team Racing.
