That electrically charged ball at the end reminds me of rollermines from Half Life 2.

This is the kind of game that is just plain fun. 
Nothing more, nothing less. 
It's somewhat of a combination of Mario Cart and Mashed.

It looks good. But Sony always seems to put way too much faith in it's new franchises, and it never lives up to the hype. This is the same thing, it's fucking mario kart, but not as good because Mario Kart pwns.

Mario Kart is still the better game.  Why?  Because, it's fucking Mario Kart.

I like the idea of the 'sonic rift' where it creates rings on the track to drive through so it doesn't alert the locked-on target.

i like the judgements on how mario kart is better when this game isn't even out yet.. bunch of douches 
 
besides it offers cool stuff mario kart does not offer wil it be bigger than mario kart no for sure. but i'm tired of playing a n64 game at full pop with new drapes every other year anyhow.

This looks pretty good, except I'd like to see a bit more variety in the environments.

Also, after hearing how awesome Blur is (especially the fact that everything can be countered) makes me think if there is a blue shell equivalent in this game.

Looks good on the weapons, at least this is the first game in a while where the preorders just turn me off from getting them.

Judging from the beta, all the weapons are pretty devastating when upgraded to level 3.  The closest thing to the "blue shell" is a level 3 lightning (which is basically the lightning bolt weapon in Mario Kart).  It only hits everyone in front of the weapon user, allowing him/her and everyone else behind him/her to catch up.

This looks like a good game to play on the exercise bike.  Used to be Mario Kart until people started cheating online.  Ruins everything.

I'm probably in the minority that wants the PSP version more.
