IGN : ModNation Racers Review

For the past few weeks, it seems like all I've been talking about is ModNation Racers. Recording video reviews, working on previews, and just chatting with friends -- United Front Games' baby has been on the tip of my tongue. Being engulfed in a game this way can often lead to a person getting sick of the title in question, but that hasn't happened here.

Good score, I do want this but I'm afraid Red Dead gets my money this month so MNR will have to wait.

Toenado5087d ago (Edited 5087d ago )

Red Dead was to be my first choice also. But this is the first game since little big planet that my wife wants to play. So I now have no say in the matter. And I have a feeling this is going to cut into my own game time.

5th post of the same review that's 1 week old.

Yeah, where are the mods to delete duplicate articles...

Denethor_II5087d ago

Playstation owners have turned into such snobs nowadays, that they can wait for their AAA exclusive; good times.

Anyways..... I just want a demo for this game PLEASE SONY have mercy on us people who cant give $60 or £39 for a game straight away without trying it out first. I might buy it because i like racing games and this looks somewhat unique. pS3 demo is said to come out "soon" yet they wont give us the date.

baconbits695087d ago

There is a demo for the PSP version in the PS store if you have a psp.

Denethor_II5087d ago

what about the beta didn't you play that?

washingmachine5088d ago

i hope they put out a demo cause the beta turned me off lol

Solidus187-SCMilk5088d ago

There was a story about it yesterday or the day before.

jjesso19935088d ago

erm wierd completeley diffrent than what gametrailers said about the making tracks and cars they said it was difficult this guy said it was easy. well this must buy anyway cant wait to pick it up.

Claudinho69 no point even stating facts 360 fanboys will still scream better graphics that uc2 gow2 uc1 ect they cant see how bad it turned out to be ending was crap gamepley got boaring ect graphics suck balls even my mate dont no anything about console said it looks wierd (becuase of it beeing low res and screen upscaling makes it looks streched ) just like i said but no best grahpics on console apprentley.

Redempteur5088d ago

Gametrailers said that making tracks was hard ?

seriously it's hard to make an éditor easier than mod nations ...

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5087d ago (Edited 5087d ago )

Gametrailers is IRRELEVANT. If someone is disagree, please explain because I don't understand what are they doing with the reviews.

They made a Half Review. They not considered the Online mode and features (yes, they NOT considered the Online or Multiplayer mode).

And yet GT call the Editor hard to make Tracks. And people test that Editor in the beta and they said is very easy.

2 FACTUAL EVIDENCE why GT is I R R E L E V A N T.

Besides, is not the 1st time they make a Half review in a game.

MikeGdaGod5088d ago

trust me, i was in the beta, and the track editor was extremely easy

iceman065088d ago

For a basic track all you have to do is drive the tractor around to lay the overall shape of the pavement....press auto-complete...and you have a functional track. Sure, adding alternate routes, extra ramps, etc. is a bit more difficult...but no more so than any other editor that I've ever used.

HighDefinition5088d ago

Making tracks is ridiculously easy. Seriously your first "rough" track could be done in 5-10mins and be enjoyable. If yu wanta take the time you could make some pretty incredible stuff.

Modnation Racers and LittleBigPlanet Karting Servers Shutting Down

Sony Interactive Entertainment will be shutting the servers down for two PS3 racing games in July.

Teflon022195d ago

Sad, hopefully they make a new Modnation racers game. wait, is it completely shutting down or can you still download tracks?

pody2195d ago

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.

Teflon022194d ago

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

pody2194d ago

@Teflon02
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.

Chaos_Order2195d ago

I had some good memories playing Modnation. :( Sad to see it go, but it was inevitable.

ModNation Racers: The Forgotten Gem

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 :(

XisThatKid2463d ago (Edited 2463d ago )

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

danny8182463d ago

game was great. However it felt soules Mario Kart. The load times on the game for Psvita were beyond horrible

S-Word2463d ago

Sony should've kept going with this instead of turning to LittleBigPlanet Karting.
