Product Description
Get behind the wheel of PlayStation's latest creative gaming title, ModNation Racers. A PlayStation exclusive, it is a thoroughly fresh take on classic and ever-popular kart racing that empowers you both in single player and multiplayer to personalize the entire game. Like all kart racers, the comic action is all about what happens on the tracks. Enjoy endless karting fun, where winning the race is only half of the fun. If you are looking for the full experience, you can use combat-like racing strategies to attack other karts with an array of dramatic weapons, or if interested in focusing solely on racing, you can stick to racing in Pure Race mode. The choice is yours in ModNation Racers.
ModNation Racers features extreme customization, and as such allows each you to create your own unique racing experience with the same tools used by the development team. Begin by expressing yourself through the creation of your own Mod character and quirky kart. Starting with more or less a blank slate, you are free to change a variety of your racer's features. These range from head features and skin color, to wearable gear and attire. Customization of karts is equally deep, allowing for alteration of everything from suspension and interior, to body, wheels, and decals. Finally, ModNation Racers gives you everything that you need to build the tracks of your dreams. With this functionality, known as Track Studio, you can invest minimal time and enjoy basic creating, or you can invest more time and make sure every lake, mountain, banked turn and power-up is placed perfectly. Either way the result is quick, contagious fun that can be shared through online races of up to 12 players, which can even be rated by the online community. Online Community - Race and rate other peoples creations and enjoy endless user generated content Multiplayer Support - ModNation Racers contains deep multiplayer support including 2-player local

 Great Game, whole family loves it! August 19, 2010
BDBusmma (St. Louis, MO USA)
This is a great game. My whole family loves it and my wife usually doesn't like video games. It has so many options from split screen play for 4 people, online gaming, online gaming in split screen (a little disappointed online splitscreen is only for 2 players vice 4, but no biggy). Load times for each segment of the game are a little slow, but not bad. You will not be disappointed if you buy this game no matter the age of player!
PSP is extremely different from PS3 August 19, 2010
Brandon J. Negri
Let me just start off by saying I absolutely LOVE this game. I hear big babies complaining about load times and difficult career mode. Meh. Its a little difficult at times, but I have completed it and love this tremendously. I'm not about to post a review based on how much I love this, I'm here to warn people that the PSP version IS NOT the PS3 version. What it comes down to is that the PSP is not capable of the magnitude of gaming that it's larger counterpart is. If you are going to buy this game, make sure it is the PS3 version. The handling and controls on the PSP is too dificult to harmonicaly switch between drift, sideswiping, shielding, boosting and fireing weapons. I own both versions and am a completely unbiased reviewer, and I must say the PSP version is far short of the PS3 version.
Great game with unlimited fun August 11, 2010
Jorge Rivera
This game offers a wide range of tracks off-line to achieve experience.However, the real game happens on-line (sharing your mod, carts and tracks creations).
Cons: Takes too long to load track info.
 terrible game design August 10, 2010

this game is good and i want to give it a five star rating but i just cant. the gameplay is hard, and extremely cheap. you get blown up around almost every turn the computer players all seem to shoot their load outs at you at the same time and it is nearly impossible to clear any of the in game challenges. do not buy for children because they will be in tears.
The Ultimate Kart Experience August 8, 2010

I am a big kart racing fan. After playing great games like Mario Kart and Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing, I was hesitant because of the unknown characters and the mechanics. But am I glad I picked this game up. I have become addicted to the game. It is by far the best kart racer PERIOD!!!!
PROS-
-Challenging AI (even if in first you might end up last)
-Creation (unlimited amounts of levels, characters, and cars)
-Great and Easy Creation tools
CONS
-This game is near perfect except for the load time. They have fixed it and I barely notice it, but I know to some its a peeve.
Final Verdict - 10/10, just cant put it down!
