Anyone else got or getting this?

Picked it up yesterday. Sold my soul to EB in exchange for making them give me the pre-order bonus stuff. Racers and karts for Kratos, Nate Drake and Ratchet and Clank, plus 6 other original ones.

There's alot of stuff you can do with this game! I didn't get to play it for too long last night, but i spent most of it just fishing through all of the games possibilities. It's amazing the quality of some of the racers and carts that people have already created and uploaded for everyone to share.

The racing itself seems really good, and I may need to experience some of the more detailed and exciting tracks to get a better feel for it. Right this second though, I'm still touting Sega All-Stars as the better gameplay. No where near as many options, but the racing is All-Stars deserves praise for it's tight controls with tons of fun without being as retardedly unforgiving with random catch up techniques like Mario Kart.

ModNation Racers is on the PS3 Kenji. A kart racer with LittleBigPlanet levels of customisation. You can create your own tracks, racers and karts and share them all online.

Sega All-Stars is awesome IMO. It has a lot of fan service for Sega fans, obviously, but the actual game itself is far more quality than many expected. Check out the reviews, they're all pretty good! Many have said they prefer it over Mario Kart Wii, and I agree. The tracks are awesome, the racing is well controlled, the weapons don't feel overly cheap (no blue shell bullshit!) and even the All-Star moves don't guarantee you'll be gifted first place. It has splitscreen, but I haven't tried it. I also stuck with the PS3 version so it isn't tainted by friggen Banjo and Kazooie... :doh:

I think Amanda's bought it.

I tried it at the event we went to. Didn't like the racing. Driving in it felt like a chore to me. That said, we didn't have sound. Might be better with sound.

You think? :lol: Another lunchtime purchase huh?

I do definitely prefer the Sega All-Stars gameplay for the racing, but you do get into it after a few races. I think there are a couple of buttons too many, but I might get used to it. I think the tracks themselves will make the difference. Alot of the fun seems to be in the creating of things though.

If she didn't get it from EB with all the extra stuff, tell her to try and get it off my account.

lol Wil that is one of the games you had to pick up from the post office today!

I think we will like it more once we play it at home. I didn't know the controls or anything the other night and the fun will be in the customisation anyway.

It is taking ages to install :(

Can't wait to create a mod and kart though! Now that I have read what the controls are I think it will be an awesome game because the other night I had no idea what I was doing.

It is a big install. I just threw it in and let it start downloading the patch and then came back when I heard it making noise.

didnt have my PS3 set right to output in 720p, so had fun getting that to work.

@poison, you have to go into the menu and read the T&C before it lets you online, even though you have already accepted them.

I have been able to go online now but haven't played online yet.

It is a fun game so far.

and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to
