ModNation Racers

Mario Kart meets LittleBigPlanet.

A near perfect description of this funky little game. I’m not going to lie to you, it’s not the greatest game in the world, if you are looking for racing brilliance – then dig out your SNES and play Super Mario Kart, I sincerely doubt that that game will ever be beaten. But ModNation Racers isn’t just about the racing. It’s about what else you can do. Play. Create. Share.

You can simply create anything in this game, to near developer quality. For example, tracks – you can create F1’s Silverstone in as much detail as you can create Ghost Valley from Mario Kart. The creation tool is that good. As for your racing characters; the choice is endless. No doubt by now you can download anything from the Stig to Spiderman, all user created and both in epic detail.

Oh wait, it actually gets better. You can upload anything you create and allow hundreds of other users to play using your kart/racer/tracks. Get enough of your mates online and you’ll have a blast. It really is good fun. There is that word again: fun.

ModNation Racers – FUN.

7/10.
