Gamereactor.de: The level creation tools are the greatest ever, but the controls and the driving don't feel quite right. Modnation Racers fails to topple Mario as the king of Kart racing.
Mario Kart has always reigned supreme when it comes to the best kart racers out there to play, but there are still a few other racers that are must-plays.
Sony Interactive Entertainment will be shutting the servers down for two PS3 racing games in July.
Sad, hopefully they make a new Modnation racers game. wait, is it completely shutting down or can you still download tracks?
This is what I'm wondering also. There's so much quality maps available online and it would be unfortunate if people couldn't download those anymore.
Yeah, I didn't play much online anyways. But I always use to play local multi with my cousin and download so many amazing levels. Sadly 8 didn't get to platinum it. Had only the create trophy, level 30 and 100 races i think left. I had I believe 87 last time 8 checked lol. Might go on to see if I can get my last few lol. Remember my win ratio was decent since I did around 160 races maybe, 170 ranked

Yeah same here, but I actually jumped in not too long ago to play again and it's still holds up great for a 8 year old game. It's was a really good game when it came out and it still is.
I had some good memories playing Modnation. :( Sad to see it go, but it was inevitable.
There were plenty of notably excellent PlayStation 3 exclusives that were one-and-done during its long history. Games like Mag, Starhawk, Heavy Rain and LittleBigPlanet Karting were solid titles that were not given a chance to expand on their potential with sequels. Ironically, the developer of LittleBigPlanet Karting, United Front Games, had another kart racing title prior to this. Its first game, ModNation Racers, successfully implemented an aspect that wasn’t done previously and hasn’t been done since.
I loved this game, and it's a crying shame that the studio closed eliminating the possibility of a PS4/PS4 Pro Modnation game :(
Imho this is my fav kart racer. I still play Everhart now and then to this day.
Other than load times the game was excellent
game was great. However it felt soules Mario Kart. The load times on the game for Psvita were beyond horrible
I thought the controls in the beta felt really good, easy to pick up and play, but more to learn and skills to learn if you want - unless they have changed for the worse since the beta
I too thought the controls were perfect. Don't know what all the complaining is about. From my impressions with the beta and reading reviews is that the big gripe with the game is load times. Yet that is still a trivial problem to me. Reviewers just looking to bring another game down is all.
the beta was was fun, pick up and play, but wont be as epic as the legendary mario kart
When the demo hits PSN on Tuesday I'll know what to think of this game. I can bear the loading times and you can create so that an already above 8 in my books. Now I only need to find out how it plays...
I liked the controls in the BETA and i've heard they've improved. All the other reviews mentioned it handles really well. Oh well guess you can't please everyone.
