I want this game YESTERDAY!
The game utilizes many existing concepts found in racing games from then and now and looks to offer a fun racing and multiplayer experience.
I’d design my own track but I suck at these ‘do it yourself stuff’ ^_^;…though if I get around to making tracks, there’re gonna be a lot of sheep and animals, don’t ask why, that’s just me.

Anyone got a link to a video that shows a race?
I’ve found this which shows that drifting gives a boost to your gauge-

I think it’s funny that people complain about ModNation load times which were mainly terrible in pre-final builds like the public beta that they released. I know that for sure that the load times have been improved dramatically.
Here’s a video Tizoc showing a basic race.

And for sure, drifting, drafting, hitting opponents, sideswiping and all various abilities will fill up your boost meter. You use the boost meter to how you see fit whether its to boost down a straightaway or shield against weapons.
I think this game is going to be a moderation nightmare. The editor tools are so powerful that you can create pretty much anything. I’ve seen like perfect Captain Americas, Old Snake, Wolverine, etc and not to mention all the Pen Island tracks.
OK quick impressions-
My main gripe with the game is the long load times, they’re longer than Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing @_@.
Good news- you CAN use custom soundtracks! Just go to ur music playlist by pressing the PS button during play and play whichever soundtrack/music you want =)
There isn’t much to use for creation early in the game of course, but there by completing certain requirements during a race and collecting a specific item from a race track you can further customize your character, kart and track.
Oh and handling karts in this game take some getting used to, but you can reduce/increase the handling level of your kart in the game.
Some stores release it early because they just dont give a fuck. My local big store releases games early as well, so I may go see if they have it out now haha
Go and download it! I got it last night, and I’m loving it. The handling is very smooth - drifting feels… right. I was already pulling off some pretty sweet drifting moves that made me feel bada$$, but at the same time, it takes a little skill. Using the right thumbstick to perform moves in mid-air is also great - you want to do 'em to get bonuses for your boost meter, but at the same time you have to be careful, because if your timing is off and you land wrong, it can really slow you down for a moment. Very nice.
eh our stores got early copies ;3
I’m still playing the game even with the annoying load times, and it’s still fun. Non of my brothers have gotten around to designing characters or karts for themselves yet tho @_@.
If you’re going to play multiplayer, it’s best to set the lap no. higher than 3 since racers tend to finish really quickly with 3 laps.
I just want to say that the Kevin Butler ad campaign that Sony has going right now is easily one of the best Video Game advertisement campaigns of all time. Mr. Butler gets me hype for games I otherwise would not be.
I love the Kevin Butler ads too - they’re the funniest ones on TV right now.
This one was interesting though, not just because it’s longer, but you’ve gotta love that announcement at the end. No, not the “Man Furismo Jive” hint , but the thing about the custom Kevin Butler mod as DLC! I love that - I’m totally downloading that ASAP!
It’s at exactly the 3:00 mark on the video: [media=youtube]-buGYgRBrIQ[/media]
