Mod Nation Racers Demo PS3 Thoughts

Topic ^. Share your thoughts about about MNR demo if you've played. Personally, I think the gamewill havea 9.0 rating locked down at the very least on GS

Still downloading, its been at least 2 hours!

After i get to try it i will see.I am kinda pumped for it though.:D

let me know if it still has long loading issue.

I'm not a big fan of it. It's just another kart game. Nothing spectacular or special. But thats just me.Dysantic

I feel the same way. It's not bad but it isn't particularly great. It's kind meh. Maybe playing through the full game would be different but it feels like every other kart racer to me.

i was looking forward to it but the cart handling seems off, tracks are short, and limited weapons is a letdown to me. drifting kinda sucks too, overall only fun to create a character and car, gameplay lacks just like little big planet

I'd rather it be slimmed down a bit for a PSN title.

Spent an hour with it. Lots of fun, no doubt. I play it like I use to play Crash Team Racing and got a lot out of it, even trying and doing well on the harder difficulties. Although karts do have handling issues, this is definitely a game I will be getting soon

IGN gave it above a 9.0

My thoughts Little big planet + mario kart =MNRFightingfan

I think that's everyone's thoughts lol.

Completely unremarkable kart racing game, Sega AllStars is more fun, honestly.

I bet it gets an 8.0 rating. With the lag time rumors & the lag time of the Beta I cannot imagine the game being a 9.

Oh well I still am going to get the game. 4 player local multiplayer games are a must imo.

Yet to downlaod, but I've got an Amazon.com preorder. JUST ONE WEEK ^_^

Dont be put off by this demo, the beta showed it off a lot better, the demo is so limted im suprised, they even put on the most boring track of them all, the demo didnt show the game off well at all.Totalgym9000

Yeah, I think the demo shows what the game can be. It is kind of like LBP, in the sense that the first chapter or two of LBP really is not that fun and makes the game seem horrible, then when you play farther in chapters and user created stuff you realize just how amazing it is. LBP and MNR is all about the environment. I am still in progress of playing the demo, but so far so good for the most part, wether or not I will be buying it day one, im not sure yet as I just bought RDR.

what the heck a demo is out for it?? what the heck am i doing on my computer right now! lolBangerman15

Haha, right? I never heard about the demo coming. It is not the best demo, but when you play with it more and more you start to realize the potential the game has. The little mechanics the devs put into the gameplay such as the boost/shield gauge makes for some interesting gameplay. Buying this game no doubt.

Is the demo on the US and EU/AU store? or just US?

Why i ask is because im in Aus and havnt seen it there thats all! Comes out tomorrow so wanna try it ASAP! lol

I enjoyed it. I thought the cart handled very well. Also thought it was nice that you will be able to use what you create over to the actual game. Too bad you can only race the one track though and not use your created character and cart in the demo. Can't wait til next week.

This definitely

Meh, I didn't like anything about this game except the graphics. I'd rather buy Gran Turismo.

Wasn't really enthralled with it. Load times were long (although they are supposed to release a patch after it releases) and the actal kart racing felt weird. Felt like th4e karts were more floating than actually driving on cement. I hope it does well, but I'm going to pass.

I like it, the track is no frills, and they didn't give you much to work with as far as modding your kart and character. I really hope they work on the power ups a little and release some more with DLC or something because right now the game play is lacking a little bit, but I expect when you are racing online against human competition it will be a little bit more fun.

I agree.It looks like it can be a real fun game.The demo is way to short.The controls are a little weird, but its something to get used to. I am going to buy it.

LOL... They didn't announce the demo until the Friday before it came out:

I downloaded it last night, and I'm absolutely loving it - even though you only get access to a little bit of it (90% of the stuff is locked, it seems), it's still a total blast. Racing on the extreme levels is crazy hard, but the challenge is what makes it great. And personally I like the controls - drifting feels great, and I like the way you have to be careful when doing tricks in the air, because if you land wrong it'll totally screw you up. You've gotta make an instant decision - go for the extra bonus boost, or play it safe and know you won't risk getting slowed down when you land? This game seems to add a lot more strategy to the driving than most kart racers have.

I like it the controls take little time to get use to but I enjoyed the demo. It was too short though.hiryu3

REALLY!?! I played both and the PS3 is far superior in handling. I think people are scared off because the game doesnt feel like Mario kart, but it obviously takes skill and is fun so im good.

Not impressed with it, i was so hyped too but eh shouldve known better, idk maybe its the demo i think ill rent it.

I thought the combined shield/turbo gauge was something new and interesting brought to the table. Also, boosting the weapons by not initially using them reminds me of diddy kong racing, which is a good thing.

Exactly, these mechanics are nice and add a sense of strategy along with the gameplay.

It wasn't too bad. The controls are decent and it pretty much reminds me of Mariokart from way back when. Don't think I'll be buying this though, might rent it when I get bored.

[QUOTE="PSP107"] the car handling are little rough compared to the PSP demo.haze_blaze

Mario kart DS is the best IMO but the Wii one lacked and the gamecube one was just completely different. This game is much harder then I thought it would be, which makes me happy! :)

I read somewhere we can keep what we make for the final version? I hope so cause I made an awesome mod :).

It's pretty cool. Kinda disappointing you can't use your carts or mods in the races right now, but oh well. I haven't spent a ton of time with it, but I have it downloaded!
