Nukezilla's Brett doesn't seem to be in love with the PSP demo for ModNation Racers:
"My initial reaction to the demo was one of surprise. The car and character models seemed to be displaying uncharacteristically polished details and animations for a PSP title. Outside of the menus and in the game’s only racing mode, the luster begins to wear off."
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?
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 :(
game was great. However it felt soules Mario Kart. The load times on the game for Psvita were beyond horrible
I really appreciate the insights here. There are some serious concerns with this preview build that should not have been greenlit. You can't save your track? I've got my fingers crossed for the PS3 version as well.
Great piece.
Driving games on the PSP never really interested me. I kind of like the detailed, realistic games, something which you can't really get on a handheld.
Although mario kart style games can be fun. Just not for long.
