I sure think it is. In quality of course, not in sales =l

How about you, do you think Modnation Racers will be a MK killer?

Do we have to compare this to Mario Kart and bring about the wrath of fanboys? Can't this just be a good game on its own merits?

Hopefully it is controls as good as Mario Kart... (for example LBP wasn't that well done in the control department, thus resulting in not being a better platformer in my book)

well, it is the only game that challenges MK in this genre (sega racing game really wasnt all that). Plus, it was asked in the video.

I mean it as a general statement. Sure, they may be similar games in some ways, but they don't need to be competitors just because of that.

i agree with montana, but I do say, I enjoy Mario Kart but MNR just ups the ante to 11 and blows MK's fun levels straight out of the water. I remember playing the beta and i spent hours just sitting there creating tracks and racing on them, then those hours turned into days and then i alsmost got fired so I had to delete it from my HDD in case the addiction got anyworse. If GT5 is going to be the king of all racing simulation games, then this is already the daddy of all kart games in my book!

honestly I'm pretty pumped on this game, it isn't getting much hype really or anything but I think it looks like a great / quirky kart racer that could be a ton of fun with friends.

inveitable comparsion to another Kart series (MK), it's unavoidable. much like comparison of any FPS to Halo or MW, any JRPG to FF, any sandbox game to GTA, any platform to Mario.

 

wasn't mean to be "bring about the wrath of fanboys", just a fair comparison to what was the 'benchmark' of the genre.

I wonder about all the other "Killers" in this industry?: You know Crash Bandicoot (long forgotten and irrelevant these days), Little Big Planet (Good game but not even the half of NSMB sales), Killzone 2 (Ha ha), even Haze was called "Killer". I'm starting to think that adding "killer" to any game is like a curse for every new IP.
