So ModNation Racers, what a fun game game.
I'm just going to say this game is a hidden gem Kart racer that 100% deserved a sequel or atleast a spiritual successor for the amount of unique things it did.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The game has a lot... and I mean A LOT OF CUSTOMIZATION when it comes to character creation, so much so I was able to make chibi/mod versions of characters like:
- Cabba (DRAGON BALL SUPER)
- Kale (DRAGON BALL SUPER)
- Caulifla (DRAGON BALL SUPER)
- Naoya Toudou (PERSONA 1)
- Tatsuya Suou (PERSONA 2 ETERNAL PUNISHMENT Version)
- Maya Amano (PERSONA 2 DUOLOGY)
- Makoto Yuki (PERSONA 3 Male Protagonist)
- Kotone Shiomi (PERSONA 3 Female Protagonist)
- Yu Narukami (PERSONA 4)
- BEAT (JET SET RADIO)
- Juri Han (Street Fighter 6 version)
- Kiryu Kazuma (Yakuza/Like a Dragon)
- Goro Majima (Yakuza/Like a Dragon)
And many more. There's so much customization, you're bound to make a character look somewhat or accurate to a character you like, or just go ham and make your own wacky character.
Same applies with Kart creation, allowing patterns and stickers to create awesome designs.
The biggest thing is the custom track creation as you can make these crazy awesome tracks that even has an auto finish in order to make it so your track is compatible!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
When it comes to gameplay, the game itself is very VERY COMPETITIVE which is amazing, if you ever complained about Mario Kart A.I. being "too easy", Modnation Racers A.I. are like playing other players, and it's not like you have to worry about 1 or 2 hard A.I., all of the CPUs are difficult.
There's a career mode and a splitscreen mode (wrote this as of 2023, cause the servers have long been offline), with career mode you race in 29 different races, 3 laps each.
In each race you have 3 side objects, along with winning the race, sometimes its just drifting, or performing tricks. Other times it's needing to take out 5 opponents.
Sometimes it's doing nearly impossible things while having to deal with the tough CPUS... but man does it feel great to overcome and accomplish those achievements!
Each level also has 5 hidden tokens all around the map, which can later be used to buy more unlockable parts for your characters or karts or custom tracks!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Really this game has an endless play factor that makes you wish it got a sequel or was ported to modern platforms or had at the very least it's servers still turned on. Regardless though I think Modnation Racers Is a fantastic hidden gem Kart racer, that if you have a PS3, I highly recommend picking up, as honestly it's a joy to play!
