ModNation Racers
I honestly didn't have high hopes for this game but I like kart racers so I gave it a try. I know it's hard to be disappointed by a game you don't care about but this game just pissed me off so much. I couldn't get past the third race because the AI was just so difficult (and don't tell me about a patch, I sold it long ago). I would easily be in first the entire race but then in the last half of the last lap every time the AI would just unload on me and I would be screwed. The AI would save their weapons almost the entire race and there would be nothing I could do about it.
I tried for well over an hour to get past the third race in the game and I just couldn't do it. You can call me terrible at a game all you want, the third race of the game shouldn't be that hard.

Really? If you're that bad at MNR then you should never play another kart racing game again. It's got a pretty short learning curve and once you know how the game works winning the story mode races becomes pretty straight forward. And I'm talking about normal mode. Easy mode was unnecessary really. Did they patch normal mode to make it a little easier, I donb't recall that being mentioned?
Actaully I don't know aht I'm doing here because there isn't a game I've bought in 2010 that's given me buyer's remorse.

I believe they made a patch that fixed loading times and added an easy mode but I stopped playing before they released the patch (it took them a while to release it). I play every kart racing game I can get my hands on because I like kart games and I generally do decently at them, except MNR.
I started with the career mode since that's generally a good place to start in any game and simply couldn't get past the third race. I knew how to block and how to save my powerups, but when seven other opponents all use their teir 3 powerups on you in the last seconds on the race, there isn't much you can do.
I would except that kind of behavior on the harder difficulty settings (if there was one at the time) or in later races, but not the third race in the game. The game simply fails at any sort of difficulty curve. I easily came in first for the first two races and got all the rewards but one but on the third race, I couldn't finish it. I would easily be in first the entire race except the last part of the last lap when the AI simply unloaded on me and there was nothing I could do.
Like I said, you can call me bad at the game, I don't care, but the third race in a casual kart racing game shouldn't be that hard.

All that just doesn't compute with me for the 3rd race in the first series. I got through it first time, and I thought the difficulty curve was a little shallow if anything. Things really didn't start getting tough to win until the final race series. Again, I'm talking about playing on normal difficulty. So it's got nothing to do with the casual difficulty patch. I don't understand how a kart racing fan can find it too hard.
Maybe your PS3 knows you really don't like it, so it was being mean to you. Show it some love and it will love you back. She is a demanding mistress.

I don't ever remember setting any difficulty setting (I don't even remember the option to) and the difficulty in the game was a pretty common complaint. The best proof of that is they had to release a patch that fixed the horribly unbalanced difficulty.
