Sonic is pretty much the best non Mario Karting game ever made (Crash Team Racing and Speed Freak may come close...), LBP Kart is by all accounts a mediocre game that's not even as good as Mod Nation Racers :(


I kinda don't agree. My favourite Kart Racers is a tie between Diddy Kong Racing and CTR: Crash Team Racing. I don't think that any mario kart is as good as those. Diddy Kong Racing was amazing and original. Crash Team Racing wasn't original, but it was unique and though ppl give mario kart all the credit, it was really the first kart racer where drifting was priority and completely skilled based as well as hoping to boost off a jump mk7 uses really started there. Plus the stage designs were so advanced for its time. 

I was so disappointed with LBPK though, I think its about as good as ModNation only cause the variety but ModNation was the better game racing wise. They need to take everything like game modes etc. added in lbpk and add it to MNR without changing the original style. Would be some much better. well this is all just my opinion of course :p but Mario Kart hasnt been king for me after SMK lol. ASRT makes me think of a mix between CTR and DKR, None stop high speed boosts from CTR with the vehicles types from DKR. Sounds like heaven to me :D. I almost bought the PS3 version instead so many times, but glad I waited since its great.

Ok I have played mario kart plenty of times and I always felt like it was too chaotic (get the same feeling about Smash Bros). ModNation Racers was phenomenal at the level of customization really was the best. The game's only flaw imo was the load times. if they could have gotten them to LBP Vita level, it would have been a dream. I don't know what happened with the MNR Road Trip for Vita. It was suppose to be perfect but  the load times were still ridiculous, frame rate drops galore, touch controls were severly broken mainly cuz the buttons were not designed to be touch accessible(tiny),No online, almost all the unlockable stuff requires you travel a lot and I play my Vita at home most of the time. I really wanted to like that version but it backtracked what the PS3 game laid out for it when it should have been perfect. I do not blame this on the developers tho, it was most likely Sony rushing them to get it out ASAP. I can't speak for Crash Tag Team Racing, but MNR is the only racer(Kart or Sim) that I even like.


Wait Wait WAIT!! Crash Team Racing & Crash Tag Team Racing are 2 entirely different games. Crash Team Racing is a PSOne Naughty Dog Crash Bandicoot titles, and Crash Tag Team Racing is a transforming vehicle racing game where people can fuse karts mid race, made by radical I think, just know I use to have it on PSP and it was done extremely well, but nothing compared to CTR
