Once full, you get a temporary period of infinite items—a total game-changer during the high-stress Boss Races.

Crash fans, kart racing enthusiasts, nostalgia hunters Not recommended for: Those expecting CTR-level perfection or online play

Crash Nitro Kart on PS3 is a perfectly fine kart racer for Crash fans who can’t play CTR on the system. If you find it cheap on the PS3 store or have the PS2 disc, it’s worth a weekend playthrough — especially with a friend. But if you have a PS4 or PS5, go for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled instead, which remakes both games into one stellar package.

For a game that came out in 2003, the track design is incredibly imaginative. From the lava-filled pits of Barin Ruins to the futuristic tech of Velo's Citadel , the environments are vibrant and full of shortcuts.
