ModNation Racers - Better than LittleBigPlanet?

loadings are so long that you can actually go to shop , buy a bottle of vodka , get drunk and get sober before it loads finally.

It's not actually that good, apparently.

It seems to be a solid 7/10, good fun but the racing is a bit random due to the power of some of the weapons.

I thought that they would have sorted the loading times out after the beta as I hardly played it as it took so long matchmaking and loading.

I'm not bothered about load times, but then I've loaded games from tape before, it doesn't bug me. How's the frame rate?

Modnation beta thread of low framerate awesomeness - NeoGAF


feedback on framerate, it was beta though.

 

[WeasteDevil]

Which is why it's not relevant. Is there no demo?

 

[Frans]

no demo yet. it hits the stores in Poland on 19th , 21 may for US. 4 days left and no demo is strange tbh,

 

[Frans]

Demo in 2 days apparently. 18th may ,we shall see how it works

 

[WeasteDevil]

I downloaded the demo, it's really good fun, yet not spectacular. I think that it should probably have been a PSN title rather than a full retail release.

The full game, which I purchased yesterday, is a lot better than the demo.

There's a fair bit more to it than the demo lets on. Plus it has split-screen multi-player.

Game is turning into a Mario Kart Killer.

It's incredibly fun, but the XP race finding needs to be sorted. I don't fancy waiting 10 minutes or so every time I want to level up from a race, it'd also be ace if they didn't make you lose your weapons when you get hit. Great game apart from that though.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

The load times were killing me in some parts of this game but I deleted a few demos and they sped right up. No more staring at the screen waiting for it to go up from 65%. Woo!

Some races are sooo frustrating but it's good fun. Very good fun.

 

[Frans]

the idea of this game is same as LBP. so i think its fair to compare them.


LBP shits all over MNR

So is anyone still playing this? Is it worth buying?

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

I finished the career mode the other day. Very challenging. I still have some achievments to get through, though and am yet to try online races.

Totally worth getting, though I think. Good fun as most racing games take themselves too seriously.

 

[mariachi-19]

just ordered this. Looking forward. Me and my mate wanted a game like this just to feck around on and since neither have a wii this was the best thing on the console. Will fill the gap until the F1 version that codemasters are doing comes out at the end of the year.

 

[mariachi-19]

Like it. for $17 its well worth the purchase. Mates really enjoy it as well and the tracks you can download from online are great.

Did they patch the rubber banding AI?

Did they patch the rubber banding AI?

No but thats really what these games are all about. Trying to make the game as competitive as possible. The only real game i've found it a ridiculous inclusion with was Race Driver Grid but thats just me.
