ModNation Racers Review: Absolutely Explosive Kart Action (GameGuru)

"Sony has yet again pulled a great game out of its hat. Practically perfect in every way and just what you would want from a cartoony race title with blasts, jumps and a whole lot of surprises. The game’s humour gets you hooked and the amazing possibilities and customisation options keep you glued. If you are averse to long loading times then ModNation Racers can really unnerve you. But if some explosive kart racing action is what tickles your fancy, then ModNation Racers is just the thing for you. Savour it." posts GameGuru

Modnation racers is not such a great game... its not worth 60$, instead they could have made it for the psn or even the xbox live aracade where it would have been really appreciated. sony has to come up with great games for the ps3. gran turismo looks shoddy in front of forza series. I am happy with my xbox 360 as the softwares are great. graphics are of now use if the gameplay sucks... which basically is the case with ps3 exclusive games. I think the score above should shift the decimal to .97/10 .thats what sony games are worth, all of them.

yeah but not all sony games suck. KZ and Drake are masterpieces, better than gears war.

nix5060d ago

wow... what a douche!

skatezero2465060d ago

then go enjoy those 360 games and quit trolling ... name a 360 game that has gotten as many rewards as Uncharted 2, go ahead and take your time I'll wait

I'm having a blast with this game, you can tell a lot of work went into it to give it the personality it has!

Modnation Racers and LittleBigPlanet Karting Servers Shutting Down

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

Teflon022203d ago

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

pody2203d 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.

Teflon022202d 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

@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.

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 :(

XisThatKid2472d ago (Edited 2472d 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

danny8182472d ago

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

S-Word2471d ago

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