Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled has stormed back into first place in the UK all-format physical sales charts, according to sales monitor Chart-Track. The remastered kart racer gets a little help from Amazon`s Prime Day to beat Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order, though it should be noted the latter is a Switch exclusive while the former is also available on PS4 and Xbox One, so has a larger potential install base.As a result of those two games` strong chart performance, last week`s No.1, Super Mario Maker 2, drops to No.3 for the week ending July 20. Elsewhere, Chart-Track says Prime Day helped 34 of the top 40 games register an increase in sales over last week, with FIFA 19 (No.4), Red Dead Redemption 2 (No.5), and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 (No.7) the main beneficiaries.The new Marvel game fared well in our review; critic Richard Wakeling awarded it an 8/10. `More so than its predecessors, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order excels because of its character diversity and the ways its disparate heroes work together,` he wrote. `For this reason alone it`s an ideal co-op game, whether you`re playing with another friend in the same room or with three friends online, but the AI more than holds its own if you`re playing alone, too. It falters in places, but there`s still nothing quite like the Ultimate Alliance series, and this long-awaited third item makes it a triumphant return for a superhero brawler that feels more relevant than ever.` Read more in our full Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order review.You can read the full top 10 sales chart for this week below, courtesy of UKIE and GfK Chart-Track.
