Nearly every button on the controller is used to some capacity - including both analog sticks. Unfortunately for some, the learning curve for ModNation Racers is significantly higher than what you may expect. With races often ending with split second finishes, ModNation demands players take advantage of every tool in their arsenal to win.
Just like you, your opponents will take advantage of drifts, boosts, shortcuts, shields, and weapons, and it will take very aggressive driving to land a first-place victory.
Do not expect this to be an easy ride! Thankfully, the game is challenging without having to resort to rubberband techniques that reward racers that are lagging behind. %Gallery-64898%Considering its cute exterior, I was surprised by how relentless and ferocious the computer AI is. These small additions to the gameplay add up to make a far more challenging (and satisfying) racer. The ability to enhance weapons by saving them adds an appreciable level of depth: do you use your weapon immediately, or save up for a better one? And the shield introduces yet another strategic element to the gameplay. The weapons are more balanced than in other games: almost no single weapon is as devastating as Mario Kart's blue shell and lightning bolt. ModNation demands skill, and no amount of luck will be able to compensate for sheer ability. While it has garnered a lot of attention due to its "play, create, share" gimmick, ModNation Racers stands out as a deep, satisfying racer through its gameplay alone.įor better and for worse, ModNation Racers is cut from a far more hardcore cloth than the typically "family friendly" fare in the genre. (Seriously, M&M's Kart Racing is a real game.) While it may be easy to write off ModNation Racers as just another kart racing game, I was surprised by how well-crafted and deep United Front Games' debut title is. Ever since the success of Nintendo's original SNES effort, the genre has been flooded with mediocre copycat shovelware, starring mascots of rather questionable origin.
Hardcore gamers tend to avoid kart racing games without Mario in the title - and for good reason, too.
