I guess this looks cool. I have been getting tired of Mario Kart, maybe this will freshen things up.

No no no, goddamnit, this is supposed to be an Uncharted racing game, damnit Sony.

No, that would be terrible. Right up there with a Halo kart racer.

As someone who liked making my own Mods and Karts in MNR, the loss of that level of customization saddens me.

Yeah, I'm sure Sackboy will be customizable, but it never felt great when I couldn't get anything besides "Sackboy in a costume" as a result, no matter how hard I tried.

Little Big Planet is trying to be the new "Mania". Better watch out Nadeo.

It looks a little more interesting than MNR mechanically and aesthetically, but I kind of wish they just combined this model into a LBP3.

Hopefully Stephen Fry will continue to provide helpful hints. (Maybe one day they'll get Hugh Laurie as well to complete the Fry & Laurie comedy team.)

That, or if this karting game is only $29.99. I just feel like if they would throw a kart racing game into LBP3, it would be too wide of a scope. LBP2 is already huge, but adding this would just push it over the edge, and I feel like people would just gloss over it.

I am interested in this game, just not for $60.

So I guess there isn't going to be a Modnation Racers 2?

I loved being Professor Layton in MNR, but as others have said, the load times were painful to sit through.

I am guessing ModNation Racers didn't sell well enough then.

What ever skin they put on it, the load times need addressing.
