If I asked you off the top of your head to name me the best video game remake of all time, chances are you’d probably come up with something along the lines of Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2 Remake,Final Fantasy 7 Remake, or one of Bluepoint Games‘ fantastic conversions of Shadow of the Colossus and Demon’s Souls.
Hell, the title of this may have made you think of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 – which is definitely up there – but no, for my money, Beenox’s Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled has to be part of the conversation.
Now, for those of us who were lucky enough to grow up with a PS1 instead of being saddled with an N64, Crash Team Racing was a sacred game. It may not have the notoriety of Mario Kart 64, but those who felt its grace back in 1999 know which is the superior kart ‘em up. Instead of dealing with Frappe Snowland, we had absolute bangers like Polar Pass.
