Also, I've kind of given a little RDR rundown of about 3 hours in over on this thread:

Now, imo, RDR isn't a perfect game, nor is it all roses, early on, but it is very good.
Also, like I've said, I've never played MNR, so I'm going off ignorant assumptions of the game, which I predict would prove true, judging by the evidence I've encountered. I don't really KNOW which game is better through personal experience, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
...also, I do want to interject this. For anyone who likes arcadey powerup/booster panel racing games, and doesn't have it, for god sakes, download Wipeout HD. That is one of the best racing games ever released, and I was amazed at the quality of the game. I'd bet it's around 20 bucks on PSN more or less, and you will NOT regret it. You might consider that as an alternative for MNR, you might even find that it is the superior game(by miles, I'd wager), so go have a look around at what's already out in that genre before you make a final decision.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
