Everyone at United Front Games and SCEA are extremely excited to finally put the game in your hands. I'm here to give everyone a quick peek into some of the features and content available in the ModNation Racers PS3 public beta.
In short we are giving you the ability to race, share, download, remix, rate, and most importantly create. Everyone with a beta code will have our state of the art creation tools at your finger tips. We're absolutely stoked to see the Tracks, Mods, and Karts the beta community will create.
The public beta will include three tracks from the full game Farm Frenzy, Market Run and Sandstorm. There are a couple of race options included in the beta as well. In addition to playing online with up to 12 players, you can compete for the best lap times in Time Trial.
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 just got my code today, I cannot wait for this game! DL'ing now.
Been a while since I've played a great Kart racing game (played a lot of Crash Team Racing and even more Super Mario Kart in my day).
I really hope this one delivers, it sure looks like it will.
I'm even looking forward to getting my paws on the track editor, which is unusual for me.
I got my code delivered to my EU PSN email after registering on the Modnation website. In order to download the demo though I've had to use my US PSN account to redeem it. Downloading now (60% done) and hopefully I can use my EU account to play the game cuz I have no friends on the US account lol.
I am so jealous of you guys in the beta but i guess unless i somehow get my hands on a beta code i'll have to wait til next year. Have fun guys :)
Aww man. I was too late. Meh. Lucky for you guys in the beta. Hope its fun.
