I saw the preview for this game a while back on a PlayStation website. I read about it and it definitely sounded quite interesting. I downloaded the game demo (and the game on release date) and realized someone has finally made a game like Mario Kart, but on another console. In this case PS3.

Game play: They have a career mode, funny cut scenes, and a very well organized central station. The modification of your racer, karts, and tracks are out of this world. You can literally do ANYTHING YOU WANT. I already spent hours making my own characters based on real people, and just plain comics. Making your own racers, karts, and tracks already keeps you occupied for hours. The career mode is a bit challenging, so young children will likely get VERY frustrated in the career mode.
- The racing style is REALLY FUN. With a racing style just like Mario Kart, and the weapons to use being very much like Diddy Kong racing (in the sense that you can build up a certain weapon to make it stronger). I just wish there were more weapons.Tracks are endless because people will always make new ones, and the current ones in the game are super fun.
8.0/10

Graphics: The graphics are average considering the game is SO HUGE. They are perfect for what they are supposed to be though, cartoony, and the HD is crisp.
8.5/10

Online: Online is one of the best. In the central station you can meet and challenge new players. You can go into the download station and download some of the MANY racers, karts, and tracks that others made. They are put into categories like most played, most downloaded. You will just love ALL the characters that other people made, that you can download for yourself for game play.
- Online game play is fun. You can choose to do a XP race with others, which gives you XP points at the end of the race, or just race with friends online and offline simultaneously.
9.0/10

Overall: The endless modding of characters, tracks, and karts makes the game content fun and never ending. FUN multi-player to play with friends offline AND online. Offers players more than 2 people offline AND off, (much like LBP) makes it awesome for LAN with others, or just linking up with another PS3. Worst part about the game is the VERY LONG load times.

9.0/10
