Vivendi Reveals Crash Nitro Kart

PS2 News | Vivendi Universal Games to release a new racing title featuring that crazy bandicoot.
Vivendi Universal Games announced today that it plans to release the next installment in the Crash Bandicoot franchise, a new racing title named Crash Nitro Kart.

The game is being developed by Vicarious Visions, the same team responsible for Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure and Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced.

In Crash Nitro Kart, Kidnapped by the ruthless Emperor Velo and forced to race in his galactic coliseum, Crash must speed his way to victory in order to save Earth from destruction... but it won't be easy, as he must compete against foes both old and new before a final showdown with Velo himself!

The game will invite players to race as virtually any character in the Crash universe and race their way around 17 high-speed raceways through four unique worlds featuring lush jungles, erupting volcanoes and futuristic cities and space stations. Single player action in adventure, arcade and time trial modes will provide numerous hours of exciting gameplay, while intense multiplayer action allowing up to eight players to race against each other using multiple systems will make Crash Nitro Kart an ideal party game.

"The release of a Crash Bandicoot kart racing title created specifically for next-generation video game systems has been eagerly anticipated by Crash fans for some time," said Luc Vanhal, VU Games' North American President & COO. "By mixing rich next-generation graphics and incredible gameplay with the playability and fun of classic kart-racing titles, Crash Nitro Kart will lead the pack in 2003."

Crash Nitro Kart is currently being developed for Gamecube, Playstation 2, Xbox and Game Boy Advance and is scheduled for release fourth quarter 2003.
