Amazing game.

The Multiplayer is a lot of fun

Bobbykotickrulesz5052d ago

Hey!

Check out my Mod and kart! Search with keywords animal, hybrid, silly and you'll find "A dirty pig"! If you like cops and donuts, you'll love this!

hakis865051d ago

check out my track "Volcano Shores" =)

BiggCMan5052d ago

i really should have bought this instead of red dead redemption. now im suffering :( . man i really want this game. can someone tell me somethin though. can u design ur own type of kart? like change the shape, and form etc.. not just add things to it but actually design the body yourself, or just pick from a bunch of presets? its somethin i couldnt tell whether or not u could do when i played the beta and demo.

RosoTron365052d ago

no actual editing/molding of the body. D:

BiggCMan5052d ago

o ok, thanks for replying. no big deal though, ive seen amazing things regardless.

blumatt5052d ago

I bought it a couple weeks after release and it's a great game in the same vein as LBP with the Play.Create.Share. gameplay. The amount of user-created content already made is amazing. There's sooo many tracks, mods(characters), and karts to choose from, it's crazy. And it only takes a second to download someone's creation. It's super quick and easy. Loads of replay value.

RosoTron365052d ago

It's a brilliant game! Once you start messing around with everything, just be careful you'll get so addicted. Especially once you start getting used to the track editor, I spent like a whole day doing one track lol.

But when will they patch the loading?!

DelbertGrady5052d ago

When MGS4 gets trophy support.

aygie5052d ago

Log out of PSN and load times will half, not perfect but is better than nothing until they fix the load times :)

Ocelot5255051d ago

is this true? gonna check this out

Redempteur5052d ago

loading ... they're working on it .

it's at least confirmed that the next patch willhave an option ( casual ) to tone down the aggressivity of the AI in career mode

freezola755052d ago

However MNR is an amazing game and totally addictive. I love it!

Pug5052d ago

but yeah they gotta patch the loading that totally does my head in.

I've just finished the game and am now hitting online, what's up with the hot laps though and people getting 7 seconds on some...are they cheating?

hagla5052d ago

yeah i was also wondering how people got such quick laps?
I have seen record lap times under a second, what's going on there?

Love the game though

xYLeinen5052d ago

I believe there exist "shortcuts" where you can basically fly across the map somehow.

Pug5051d ago (Edited 5051d ago )

I watched the ghost and it looked a bit fishy to me. They seem to "blow up" at the start and miraculously appear right at the end of the track.

Seems fishy.

Still I posted top 10% in my first race which I was pleased with although I'd like to know what the real fastest laps are, as hagla says when see sub 1 second it is pretty pointless.

**EDIT** So I just checked it out with UFG and it is a glitch which there looking to patch soon. Also anyone caught cheating apparently gets a 2 day ban..lol.

xYLeinen5051d ago

@Pug

They are not allowed to ban people for glitching..

Modnation Racers and LittleBigPlanet Karting Servers Shutting Down

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

Teflon022221d ago

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

pody2220d 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.

Teflon022220d 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

pody2219d 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_Order2220d 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 :(

XisThatKid2489d ago (Edited 2489d 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

danny8182489d ago

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

S-Word2489d ago

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