Of course, Everytime there is a GREAT game, something has to just kill your buzz.
The fact that you can create, and is easy to use, and alot to do. is great, a little less than little big planet, theres things you cant do like make your own background for the world and draw a track around that, you get presets, suchs as Alpine, desert, seaside, and Jungle, im nto sure if there are anymore. but still creating is ALOT of fun. i really like this. Just sucks i cant get everything unlocked.
Karts - handle alright, to me, nothing much to brag about, it has its own style. and its not horrible, there are little irratating things about it that can be over looked, but its more so the actual tracks on how they are layed out, that give you those irritating moments on driving, the turns most especially.
Characters - well, the characters are basically cartoon network looking guys you get to dress up, the plain white guys, The style that they are totally fits the game, i like this alot too.
Tracks - nothing much to brag about here to, some are cool, but most are just kinda lazy. You'd be better off designing your own, and racing multiplayer to have some cool feel to it. Some tracks however are just plane dumb, but theres not too many, but a few yes.
Graphics - perfect for a game like this, smooth too. and with the create a track mode, it settled well with how I wanted it to look.
Music - To be honest, didn't think about it too much, its just there, and its more of... i'd rather have silence, but if not, than thats ok, I can do.
Weapons - To me, they could have done alot better, and you cant create a weapon which kinda sucks, and in this game you really dont notice that, but when you think about, you wish you could. Because they dont give you much, 3 or 4 major weapons, and a boost. and they have 3 level ups each, but its the fact that you are constanlt getting nailed by them in story mode that sucks, you almost never have a chance. You have a shield you can use, but it doesn't last that long, and you have to make sure you use it at the right time or your screwed and then you have no boost cause you used it all for your shield. On the left side of the screen it lets you know when a rocket is coming up, but with how these tracks are, it really doesn't help out alot, just on occasion. but they do need more. Since Sony made it, I think they should take weapons from certain sony games, and characters, and make it have some memorable tracks. So when yuo race, you have that old mario kart feeling of the 64 where you new what the tracks were from. but thats just me.
AI - on hard, its to much for me to play, its as if they are perfect. Im not, so I cant win.
If your like me and debating on getting this game just to create and have easy fun races, I would either get it and just except that your going to get mad, and not have alot of parts unlocked, or hold off till its about $40 where that fits as a fair price more than 60, seeing how im just letting the game sit till I figure out how to get the parts unlocked in an easier way. I just want to create, and share online. mainly. Otherwise you can hold out, and with any luck they dont geive you in the game, maybe they will come out with side thing to buy at the PSN where you can get everything unlocked. Kinda like Sega allstars. spend $3 or so on getting everything unlocked, if its more than 5 bucks, i'll just trade the game in and give up, I dont have the patients for that. (which bty sega allstars didn't really need that as much, it just took some time getting money to unlock things, you could do a number of things to unlock them so it was extremely fair. Thats what I wished Modnation would have done. But how many crappy players are there like me, lets be honest right, just a few. So who cares....I hope they let me unlock everything in an easier way
