ModNation Racers by United Front Games puts a fresh spin on the somewhat stale kart racing genre. Released exclusively on the PlayStation 3, ModNation Racers can be considered the LittleBigPlanet of racing by putting a heavy emphasis on user created content. While the game it isn’t without flaws, the strengths certainly outweigh its weaknesses. Let’s have a look shall we?
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?
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.
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

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.
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 :(
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
game was great. However it felt soules Mario Kart. The load times on the game for Psvita were beyond horrible
I really enjoy this game and have been playing it religiously since launch, but I think that the long loading times are slowly killing me. I really hope that the patch this week truly fixes the loads.
A little late on the review, but I guess better late then never. It is a fun game and I would highly recommend it, just not for $59.00. The only reason I got it was from all my Amazon rewards. $29.00 was the magic price for me.
I've been looking for a good racer these days. I picked up split second over this game, but I think from the review i would've been able to put out more time with it. I'm hoping the patch really halves the load times cause then its gonna be a buy for me sure.
I know it's kind of a rip off from mario kart, but Mod nation just has that extra little big planet feel, that makes you just wanna buy it.
