ModNation Racers Launch Date, Pre-Order Incentives
ModNation RacersIf you're one of millions who have sampled the Play, Create, Share concept initiated by LittleBigPlanet, you're likely stoked for ModNation Racers.
It debuted at last year's E3 and since then, we've been waiting for the official release date. We can't wait to get our hands dirty making our own karts and tracks, and let's not forget about that PS3/PSP connectivity feature. As is the case with LBP, custom user creations can be shared with the community, which means there should never be a shortage of new and unique tracks. Now, as announced at the PlayStation Blog, we know ModNation Racers will release here in the US - for both the PS3 and PSP - on May 25. Furthermore, if you're planning to pre-order the game, you might want to pay attention to the retailer-specific incentives: depending on where you drop your cash, you can nab either Ratchet and Clank, Nathan Drake, or Kratos. Pre-ordering from GameStop will get you Kratos and his Kart of Chaos, Amazon will allow you to race as either Ratchet or Clank, and Best Buy will give you Nathan Drake and his Jungle Jeep. Lastly, each pre-order will come with "an additional BONUS Mystery Mod and Kart package," so that's cool, too.
You won't know what that mystery is until you download it, so there's a bit of anticipation involved with your pre-order. There will be a total of four possibilities and pay attention to the Blog in the near future; they'll reveal those four at some point. Okay, so who's psyched for this one?

Instead I'll reward decent companies like Amazon
Best Buy has retarded employees (who don't know crap and act as if they know more than anyone), so will probably end up rewarding Amazon or a local store.

On the beta we had limited options, seriously limited compared to the full version, however if you were creative it was sooo awesome.
Creating your avatars is so fun, I think I spent over 30 hours just making avatars. As you must know I'm a marvel comic fan, I was able to create deadpool, venom, electro, and several others with nothing but a blank canvas and stickers.
The vehicles are a lot of fun to create as well, so are the tracks. I thought it would be a little difficult but it was easy, so easy you probably won't believe it.
The carts were so much fun to drive and you have a button that allows you to drift. Good controls where easy to get used to.
Seriously if you ever enjoyed mario kart, you will love this. It's like LBP and mario kart, smashed together and mixed with speed and steroids. lol it was so much fun. Really looking forward to this one.
Side not, this is one of the few ps3 games that has some good old school split screen action. Bout time I say, miss me some split screen.

from the beta I'm calling this one of the best Kart racers I've played in years. Every aspect was just so much fun.

ModNation Racers is a definite buy on May 25 and I might also be picking up Super Mario Galaxy 2 two days earlier if I have a Wii. Part of a two month period starting April 27 that also sees the releases of SSF4, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Red Dead Redemption, Alpha Protocol and Metroid: The Other M. The Winter took a toll on my wallet (7 2010 releases bought), so will the Spring.

I am certain I will have better success in MNR because the content is racetracks, land, water, etc.
It just seems easier. MNR will blow up the Create & Share portion even more than LBP did I predict!
