Abstract: What do you get when LittleBigPlanet gets it on with Mario Kart? ModNation Racers, a cute little kart racer from United Front Games and Sony's San Diego Studio. Be prepared to race karts online and offline in the career mode as well as customize Mods,...
Overall, whilst there is very little in the core racing engine that isn't expected or improved on other titles, to hold that against ModNation would be a crime. After all, LBP suffered from similar control foibles, but the sheer variety of inventive co...

It’s a shame that something as seemingly inconsequential as the load times is the main problem with a game as good as ModNation Racers, but I guess that speaks to the overall quality of everything else. The driving is fun, the creating is deep but easy...
Has recognisable kart racing mechanics, good online capabilities, custom content can be shared with other players
Ridiculously long loading times, characters lack distinctive personalities
ModNation Racers looks great and incorporates some solid kart racing mechanics. But the game is hindered by long loading times between races and lacks the 'soul' of Mario Kart...
Abstract: What do you get when you combine Mario Kart with Little Big Planet? The answer is ModNation Racers, an addictively entertaining kart game that opens up a Pandora’s Box of custom modifications which is almost as fun as the racing itself. This kart game ...
