The simplicity of the actual basic kart-racing in Modnation Racers is excusable when you realise the sheer diversity of courses that can be created with the create mode. There is no online multiplayer to speak of, only ad-hoc multiplayer meaning that if you want to play with friends, they’ll have to be in the same room as you, which is a massive shame. You also have a boost-meter that you can fill up by performing power-slides around corners used tactically this can give you the edge.Ĭampaign mode is where most players will spent the majority of their racing time, and this is built up of increasingly difficult challenges across 6 tours (5 challenges per tour). As per normal, you will race around in a go-kart competing with other racers on the track, using power-ups to knock them out of the way and race to victory. GAMEPLAY: Karting has become a competitive market, with the excellent Mario Kart 7 leading the way on current hand-helds, Modnation Racers: Road Trip doesn’t stray very far from the other Modnation Racers games at all. The soundtrack is chirpy enough, but there’s not much to talk about when it comes to the audio in Road Trip. SOUND: All the sound effects you’d expect from a Kart racer are present and correct, screeching tyres and exploding power-ups.
There really is very little to complain about here, in fact the title is so close to the PlayStation 3 version visually that the comment of “A portable PS3 experience” is very close to the truth here. Even though we’ve seen the Vita push out some incredible visuals with the likes of Uncharted: Golden Abyss, the more cartoon-stylings of titles like Modnation Racers really shine through with crisp and clean, colourful visuals. GRAPHICS: As is quickly becoming the norm with PS Vita titles, the game sticks very closely to the big brother console’s visuals. Now, Sony’s San Diego Studio are bringing the fun to PlayStation Vita, with all the bells and whistles they can muster, along with plenty of touch based joy too.
Billed as a big part of the “Play, Create, Share” ethos kick-started by Media Molecule’s excellent LittleBigPlanet, it started life on the PlayStation 3 before having its very own PSP version too. With it its cutesy kart-based tomfoolery, Modnation Racers has become a brand that Sony are keen to push to the consumer.
