How is it not a choice, you will likely probably get many more hours of gaming on MODNATION RACER then red dead redemption.

I mean I don't see you complaining about mario kart wii being $50? Which you bought..

Modnation racers has the lengthy single player campaign (similar to what mario kart offers) and then a huge creation aspect of it.. were people can create infinite amount of levels that can be even better than the single player campaign, not to mention you can play with your friends online or off screen.

It's about the quality of the game, not the number of playable hours. As far as that goes, I could play pong indefinitely, but it sucks, so I won't.

Why I personally believe, it's not much of a choice(and this is just my opinion) is that MNR is 10 dollars more than Mario Kart, and 10 dollars more than RDR. I can't justify paying full price for a game, when there have been so many far better games coming out lately(judging by reviews, and the many complaints in this thread and others about the loading times) which cost significnatly less(RDR is almost 20 percent less). To top it all off, I DO own Mario Kart, AND Wipeout HD, what what would make me pay full price for MNR, just to have to wait for it to be patched, at a time when it's already in the bargin bin.

So, while I'm not SURE, I'd wager that another brand new game, RDR(which I'm playing right now for PS3 afterall) is significantly cheaper, and significantly better.

If you buy by genre, sure it's a choice, but if you buy by quality, then I have a hard time recommending any current game over RDR, much less one that requires a non-existant patch that you can only hope is coming soon.

My question is why would anyone pay full price on a game they need to wait on a patch for anyway?

GoW3, LBP, and UC2 were 57.99 on Amazon when they launched. Do you really believe you'll be getting a fair deal on MNR launching at 59.99? IMO it should be 29.99.

Modnation racers is worth it though, the full sixty dollars, hell i would buy it for 100 dollars. The creation tools in the game makes it a quality title, not to mention that the gameplay is amazing. I loved drifting and shooting level 3 weapons at my friends in 4 player split screen. I do not know how you can say MK has more quality than MNR and is more worth it even if it is 10 dollars cheaper.

MK is amazing, but the online community is weak, the tracks get old, and even the characters get old when compared to MNR. Not only that, but MK has the biggest rubber banding gameplay i have ever seen. MNR fixes that with it's boost meter gameplay. 

I get how the game might be to expensive for you, but you should not be stating how the game is not worth it. I will be playing it, patched or not. The game offers more than enough, even though it has 45 second load times. 

RDR is another story, but i chose not to get it because i want to support what United Front Games is doing with this game, They did an amazing job. RDR is a better game, but it is totally different, and i would bet my account that the online community for MNR will be alive longer than RDR, and bigger, no matter what the sales. 

And by the way, MNR has a pre-order bonus of 10$ on any future game purchase on Amazon. That is just a steal.
