So, on Friday 21st May I recieved my copy of ModNation Racers from Amazon.co.uk. I saw the game footage at E3 2009 and instantly loved it.

But a couple of weeks back people started to complain about the load times that had been uploaded in a video. This did not put me down as I will not dislike a game simply because of load times. But many people have complained about the game etc.

So I start playing, the load times, well they are normal. I do not see the problem. Sure it takes a couple of minutes to get into an online race, but what's the big deal. I have waited much longer to get into a game on MW2. 

And now, a few days after it has realesd i see people complaining about the load times, well can't people for once actually say something good about this game. The load times arent bad, and it is a very good and fun game in my opinion.

Regards

You have to understand- loading can break great games (Mass Effect 1). It is hard to enjoy what is most likely an excellent title when technical things beyond a player's control get in the way.

Also, there have been exclusives with negligible load times, so it is also hard to go from that, and then take what seems like a step backwards.

Well the loading times haven't broken the game for me. 

People were complaining and complaining. It comes out, loading times are slightly longer than normal but I've experianced worse, much worse.

So how long is a typical loading sequence in MNR ?

Most I have experianced is <30s

Up to 2 mins waiting for an online game.

I think he's talking about the time from turning on the game to getting into a race, which is really several loading screens so there is no single loading screen that is 3 mins as the statement would lead one to believe.

Good to hear mate, glad to hear users giving good feedback on the loading times...Will def get it after my exams

if it were that easy. all gamers would be neutral and go after politicians and developers that make bad games? but instead they complain and have debates about who's or witch console is better.
