Since LittleBigPlanet was released, it has been a big hit with many gamers from casual to hardcore, but ModNation Racers received generally mixed reactions. With LittleBigPlanet Karting, United Front Games hopes to combine the LittleBigPlanet franchise with the gameplay style of ModNation Racers. Having a developer other than the one known best for the series can be quite a risky endeavor, but developers like Tarsier and Double Eleven found great success when they released LittleBigPlanet Vita. The question here seems to be whether or not United Front Games can accomplish the original goal of Modnation Racers with Littlebigplanet Karting or will it be another failed opportunity. - JPS
Phil writes, "The kart racer: a sub-genre in the racing game genre that generally features video game mascots and colorful cartoon characters competing in speedy races against one another for the sole goal of crossing the finish line in first place. No doubt Super Mario Kart made this sub-genre popular and put it on the map, but for every well-done Mario-branded racer, there are countless others that fall through the cracks. For this purpose SPC brings back The Tuesday 10s to list ten underrated and under-appreciated kart racers from a wide swath of developers and franchises."
I agree with ModNation Racers. I did have a good time with what I did get to play at a friends some time ago. Nickelodeon Racers though? If it’s anything like the original, that’s a hard pass…
Don't agree with Mario Kart tour as it's not underappreciated. It's just literally not great. Everyone has tried it.
On the other hand ModNation, Mikey's Speedway USA, CTR, and LBPK I agree with. Though CTR with the rereleases recently hasn't been all that underappreciated and that with Diddy Kong Racing are my all time favourite ones. I think sonic transformed is very under appreciated though.
Outside of CTR ModNation is the most underappreciated because the game was amazing and don't think it even sold a million. But the community was always pretty cool. Creating was never hard. But it could be as complex as you wanted it to be so it was for everyone. I'm still praying Sony makes a ModNation Racers sequel for PS5 as the only issue the game had imo was load times and not being 60fps
There's a little known kart game called Bears Can't Drift that had a bunch of potential, was fun to play, but low sales that left the dev to simply abandon the project before fixing technical issues with the game.
They really did have a good game on their hands, but they gave up before it could reach full potential.
I remember just only playing the demo of a game called speed punks that game was fun
YouTube’s ‘reznoire’ has shared some new videos, showing Killzone 2, Soul Calibur 5, Time Crisis: Razing Storm, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, LittleBigPlanet Karting and more running on the PC thanks to the amazing Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3.
played all ps3 exclusives
last gen when i owned the system haven't played asura wrath though will play it on this emulator
Fark... I almost forgot how good K2 looked....
I must go boot it up on my PS3 and play through it again.....
Its funny how bitchy pc gamer are about frame rates but they are silent as mice with this. I get that its going to be better eventually but its been muddy and unplayable for MONTHS now stop showing it till its done. Whats the point of playing ps3 games on a pc at a far worst frame rate aside from being a fanboy??
Crazy. I dont have a good PC to emulate these games (still have my ps3 anyway) but it makes me happy knowing in another ~15 years I might be able to just boot up some of these classics on my then potatoPC from 2029
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?
I had some good memories playing Modnation. :( Sad to see it go, but it was inevitable.
this game doesn't deserve less than a 8 in my opinion but id rate it a 9 or 10 on a scale of 10. this game is amazing with options and innovation not seen ever in a arcadey kart racer.
IGN influenced review. You heard it here first.
Little Big Planet. Should really be sony's answer to WiiVerse, Xbox Avatars and (removal of HOME).
A LBP universe with a sackboy on every single PS4 (customizable ofcourse) would create a completely unified yet customized environment which playstation fans Kids & Adults would feel at home with.
Who would agree with this?
These reviews are getting stupid. I played the beta and didn't like it personally, but I would still have given it an 8/10 just because I understand it was a beta and I know that the community will create incredible things... but 6/10?
Ignore reviews people. Perhaps one day the people behind them will disappear. What matters are the communities that build up around these games. This is were you'll get a more balanced view of what the game is like.
