Out this week I belive, so will it be the PS3's Mario Kart or just some gimmicky racer?

Must say it looks like a lot of fun....

Looks great. Have been looking forward to it for ages. Just a shame it comes out the same day as Red dead redemption.

I loved playing it, I generally dislike mario kart and similar. Modnation was different, the customisation, the track builder (even in very limited mode) was amazing, the way your characters would taunt the opposition. It all came together in a pretty neat package, although I will admit one childish habit of mine was doing constant powerslides around the menu screen (the menu is essentially an online lobby where you drive to the different options and can also see lots of other people!) which was probably irritating to some!

I'd recommend it even for single player as it captures the multiplayed experience with the online very well. I'd want to take the lead just to hear the rest of them moan and complain!

Had it arrive from shopto yesterday. It's pretty much been on constant since it arrived.

What a brilliant game. So well made and thought out. The way the menus, online and modding are all linked is very clever. Very solid handling for a kart game, as good as anything else I've played.

The way they have handled the modding is spot on in my opinion. Simple enough for my 5 year old to knock up a decent character, kart and track but so much depth when you delve deeper into it.

It's by no means perfect though. The loading times are bloody long for this day an age, too long! Strangely though the online races were very quick to jump into????

All in all I give it a big thumbs up and cant wait to get home and have another play,got some track ideas I need to try out.

I really wanted to like this game, but the demo has crushed those dreams.

The cars feel weightless and twitchy, it's not as smooth or fun as Mario Kart. It feels like a really cheap game when it comes to the racing part.

Shame because the customisation is pretty cool.
