Raf1k15506d ago

Got it on Fri. It's amazing. It has everything a racing fan could want from any racing game.

sikbeta5506d ago

Didn't bought it yet, I'll do it ASAP...

nix5506d ago (Edited 5506d ago )

not because of IGN but i'm buying it because of a 10 minute review i saw on youtube. he was so enthu about it throughout that i decided to buy it. he kept talking about how funny the commentary was and how bad-ass the AI was... and how they keep everything (weapons) until the last minute and stop you from finishing first.

i fell for IGN's (and other sites) GTAIV review. i take it with pinch of salt nowadays.

OwNizzleD5506d ago

Once you play it you'll be hooked. I was a little iffy when i bought it but the game is just so much fun and it has it's own personality. Played for about 6 hrs. straight last night.

akiraburn5506d ago

Yeah I'm just waiting for mine to come in the mail. Originally I had it pre-ordered at Gamestop, but after seeing Amazon's offers, I changed my pre-order. All the good deals amazon has been having with bonus credit on games has been awesome, and with the Ratchet and Clank skins/cars added onto the $10 credit, I decided it was more worth it to me.

I can also say, that after being in the beta, then getting to try the demo, I am mighty impressed by all the changes and improvements. For myself and a few people I knew, the beta just didn't capture us completely, but I and my fellow gamers could see the potential it had, and I was really excited to see if the final product would come out with that potential. After trying the demo out, I was really impressed on all the touch-up done to it, and I spent hours messing around in the track editor.

I think they really did a great job, and needless to say, I can't wait for my copy to come in so I can get to work building tracks with all the tools and capabilities in the full game.

They need to bring this to the 360!

TheHater5506d ago

Buy a PS3 if you want to play this game

readiandnot5506d ago

I'll probably end up getting a new Slim shortly.
I'm trying to hold off until the fall though, hoping for a price cut.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5506d ago (Edited 5506d ago )

ModNation Racers was proyected to be Multiplatform. UFC said that.

But didn't develop on that because UFC wanted the game to play Online for Free, that is why didn't come for Xbox 360.

peeps5506d ago

quite interesting. waiting for a price drop tbh. am quite bored atm but still playing through RDR and might get alpha protocol this week (although worried i haven't seen any reviews for this yet and it's out this friday in the uk :|)

modnation seems a fun little game though but for me personally, more of a budget title that will be even better in a few months when it's cheap and theres tons of player made tracks. I had a play with the track editor in the demo last night actually and was amazed how easy it was to make simple tracks - hopefully we see some really good ones.

cellypower5506d ago

This game is worth $60.00 and there's like 1200 created maps

hiredhelp5506d ago

you wont get another price cut this year m8. but definatly advise getting a ps3 .as from this year onwords more and more 3rd party devs example EA and rockstar are focasing on the ps3 thats without the MANY new IP'S and devs on way this year been great next year even better.

as for modnation racers i was part of the beta. much improoved awsome love it.
if you like this type of game you cant go wrong. one thing i do like is every couple days early hours the morning for couple hours there servers go down for maintanance.may be a pain but its good to know they keeping it checked to keep things running smoothly. the creation is second to non.dont forget just by doing SP (singleplayer) you unlock new gear as you play to use in creation mod so very much like LBP. this gives the game enjoyment targets to go for goals to do in races to earn rewards. FANTASTIC FUN RACER. BUY A SLIM.simple

peterdawa5506d ago

Im getting it in 2 weeks. Here in Kenya it comes out 2 weeks after europe.

Modnation Racers and LittleBigPlanet Karting Servers Shutting Down

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

Teflon022627d ago

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

pody2627d 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.

Teflon022626d 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

pody2626d 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_Order2627d 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 :(

XisThatKid2896d ago (Edited 2896d 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

danny8182896d ago

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

S-Word2895d ago

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