Review: ModNation Racers – ModNation Racers Download
Hardcore gamers tend to avoid kart racing games without Mario in the title — and for good reason, too. 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. (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. 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.

For better and for worse, ModNation Racers is cut from a far more hardcore cloth than the typically “family friendly” fare in the genre. ModNation demands skill, and no amount of luck will be able to compensate for sheer ability. 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. 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. These small additions to the gameplay add up to make a far more challenging (and satisfying) racer.
Considering its cute exterior, I was surprised by how relentless and ferocious the computer AI is. 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. 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. With races often ending with split second finishes, ModNation demands players take advantage of every tool in their arsenal to win.

Unfortunately for some, the learning curve for ModNation Racers is significantly higher than what you may expect. Nearly every button on the controller is used to some capacity — including both analog sticks. Kids and moms used to playing Mario Kart Wii with the Wii Wheel will find themselves in rather unfamiliar territory here. (And no, you can’t drive by using SixAxis motion controls.) There’s a lot your Mod can do in a race, such as aerial tricks, sideswipes, and jumping. However, it will take practice to understand how to effective utilize all these moves. For example, with practice, nearly all enemy attacks can be defended against. A flashing icon on the HUD notifies you of incoming projectiles, and the circle button deploys a short-lived (but effective) shield that lets you drive away from an attack — provided you get the very precise timing right.
