I fired it up yesterday after Nitro-Fueled was announced and god, this game still plays better than most kart racers. The most popular comparison is Mario Kart, and the only MKs that, imo, have better controls are Mario Kart 8 and DS.
The graphics still hold up very well, and are miles ahead from any racing game of that era. Of course, it's still a PS1 game in the end so textures are pixelated and it doesn't have the most detailed models, but the overall quality is still nice.
If they keep the same feeling for Nitro-Fueled and add some of the Nitro Kart tracks, it'll easily become the best kart racer ever.
