Modnation Racers

Mario Kart meets Littlebigplanet and what a reunion it was. The result: Modnation Racers. This game features the addictive kart racing of Mario Kart where you race and hit enemies with your items, then it has the creation things you would find in Littlebigplanet where you can create your own Mods (People), Karts and Tracks. The result it an amazing kart racing that you and friends can play every weekend to see who has the coolest creations and best racing skills. With that said this game supports up to 12 players online and four player splitscreen. If you wanna race against NPCs you can do that too. This game has a legitimately long and difficult career that has plenty of challenges and collectables to keep you busy for a while. The graphics in this game are very artistic and cutesy like in Littlebigplanet but there has been a few cases of frame rate drop online. The online is amazing regardless but it is also the biggest downside to this game. If you don't have an online connection the game won't let you play it. So if your internet is knocked out or you just don't have a hookup altogether guess what you won't be playing. Anyways the sound in this game is very good as well but I haven't really paid attention to it when I'm in a rage about how I went from 1st to 9th in five seconds. If you don't like to lose that much you will get a little pissed at this game. But even though I suck at this game, I still give it a 9/10.

As much as I agree with you and love this game, I can't believe you didn't mention the absolute awful load times this game has. Sometimes I lose interest in between races just watching the game load and load and load!
