    A popular game following the "Play, Create, Share" concept pioneered by LittleBigPlanet to add its own spin on the kart racing genre. The end result is a game that offers the player a brutal single-player campaign with cheap enemy A.I. and long load times (even after the latest updates). The community itself rarely shows original designs in both character and kart creations.

Then again, you probably shouldn't expect much with a game being marketed, if not completely dominated, by a younger audience. Skip this and go for LittleBigPlanet 2 instead.… Expand

    nothing like lbp at all it's quite boring
    lbp is waaay beter then this.okay it's probably the most closed video game too lbp but still no fun the races feel so fake and weird i don't know maybe the only good thing about this game is that levels are easier too make then in lbp and that you can download costumes from other gamers so that you don't have too play the hole campaign.

    it's not worthy of spending more then 15 dollars at.
    maybe kids will like it more    … Expand

    There's defiantly something missing from Modnation racer's that Little Big Planet and Mario cart have but it doesn't stop it being a good game rising over any issues you may have heard about.

    Fun and creative, but could've been a little better. It's got a decent story and it's cool how this was basically LittleBigPlanet with cars (until LBP Karting came out), it's just sort of hard to really make a decent track. This is a good game overall though.

    Although Modnation has its problems that doesn't stop Modnation racers from being the go to game if you are looking for a fun kart-racing experience on the Playsation 3.

    It's a game that makes you feel like there aren't enough gaming hours during the summer months.

    Overall, this is a really fun racer, I can't emphasise enough how much the customisation adds to the game.
