ModNation Racers for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

BEFORE I START THIS REVIEW I WANT TO SAY THAT A PATCH FOR THIS GAME WAS ANNOUNCED TO RELEASE ON AUGUST 4TH THAT WILL CUT LOAD TIMES IN HALF AND INCLUDE A CASUAL DIFFICULTY FOR CAREER.

I've heard many mixed reviews about this game and decided to check it out.

Career: As of right now, before patch, the career in Modnation Racers isn't very good in my opinion. It seems like the difficulty level is way too high (no way to change it) as early as the 2nd and 3rd races. One good thing about the career is the announcers, I think they're hilarious saying things throughout the races that help raise morale (my opinion).

Creation: The main part of Modnation Racers is obviously creation. As a new addition to Sony's Play, Create, Share line of games, it really lives up to that title.
Comparisons: The creation aspects are similar to other games so here are some examples of similarities: The kart making reminds me of Forza Motorsport 3, allowing stickers and paint to be applied to vehicles. The Mod (character) creation reminds me of LittleBigPlanet, stickers, props, and clothes can all be put on your Mods. Finally, the track creation is mostly similar to FarCry 2's map maker, with terrain modifications and tons of objects to place. These all work very well and you unlock items from career races to add to your collection.

Cons:The only con besides the tough campaign is long load times, this game can sometimes take up to a minute to load, which can be annoying when trying to do simple things like accessing the career. Both of these problems will be solved with the patch, so in the end this game really has no cons.

Overall, this is a great game and when the patch comes out it'll be even better.

Step aside Mario Kart racing trilogy , the Modnation train is rolling over the competition and with style. I bought this game yesterday and at first it did hurt to pay $65 but boy was that long forgotten after i started creating and racing . I spent all night playing this game , my pregnant wife wanted to kill me when she saw it was 1:00am and i was still playing trying to unlock new items . GREAT GAME , this is a game that will evolve more and more in the upcoming month(s) . Get it!
