Something I found quite nice:

"One of the least-discussed elements of ModNation Racers, oddly, is how it handles. "We didn't want that cartoony, stuck-on-rails feel you often get with accessible [there!] racing titles," says Sochan, so what we went with was a real-world physics model on top of that." It's tough to take much away from our few minutes spent actually racing, but with hop, drift, super hop, and boost accumulated by drafting, drifting and jumping off ramps, along with a sideswipe and downward stomp move, it comes off a bit like Mario Kart (there's a surprise) with some concessions to big-boy arcade racers like your PGRs and GRIDs."

More or less the rest found in the article are old news

This is the bastard child of Little Big Planet and Mario Kart if they got it on.....and I've got to say, it looks awesome, it looks fun, it looks very stylish, and the fact you can create and share stages will in my opinion make it the definitive Kart game on the market.

If this plays like Crash Team Racing I am down. That was the best cart racer EVER!

WOAH. Watch out Ratchet and Clank ACIT.. there might be a new 'cartoon' graphics king.

Game certialny looks great.. the gamescon trailer was epic

I think its wonderful that they go for real-world physics.

Looking good, the main draw of course is the track creator for me

Yay for CTR! the only Kart racing game I ever played (PS1) and I really liked it.

I KNOW my boys are gonna love this like they love LBP. And track creator looks to be easier to get into and make a fun track than LBP. So win and win I think.

The possibilities are endless with the editor. It wont be long after release till we see F1 tracks for example

This game looks like its full of win

Like LBP can you imagine creator packs themed on your favourite game, or movie? MGS4 karts and scenery. inFamous kart weapons. A kart race through Arkham Asylum.
