Impressions: ModNation Racers

As per my previous post, I've been playing the beat for ModNation Racers. So far, I have played about 6 or 7 hours and this game will be a must-have when the retail version is released.

The gameplay has definately been inspired from Mario Kart. There are alot of weapons (rockets, lightning, etc) and over the top powerslides. On the beta there are 4 premade tracks and the ability to create and download other uploaded maps. You can also customise your driver/car and download designs from other users. I have seen other racers sporting designs such as Spiderman, Mario & Sonic.

This game will be much more that your standard Mario Kart clone. Like in Little Big Planet, the true star will be the user created content. I cannot wait for the full release.
