Forums - Sony - LittleBigPlanet Karting Review Thread! (IGN Review = Yikes..)

I played the beta and I think it is way better than modnation, and modnation got a 9 WTF?!. Greg is just an asshole.


1. If you've played and enjoyed it what does a lone negative review matter? 2. Did Greg review Modnation Racers?

Greg miller did review MNR.  I think he is overconpensating his 9 with this 5 to give the PS kart racers an 7 for average.

It matters because most people take reviews as 100% truth, so the game will sell less because of it.



lol at ign. whatever, one bad review isn't much in what is otherwise pretty good review. better than i was expecting at least ... i had a feeling this would be solidly in the 7o's region but it looks like it could score in the 8o's.

conceding now that i'm just too lazy -- any of them commeting on load times? i really like MNR but the load times killed it for me.



But but but but Greg Miller is a Playstation fanboy and hates Nintendo games....

His review was excellent though.

Perhaps. Except IGN thought Modnations was great and a 9/10 game, yet this is basically Modnation 2.0 and they gave it a 5/10. Critic inconsistency is a bit of a worry as of late.

I've looked at the review and one of the main complaints is that when you use a speed-up item and crash, you respawn without an item, thus making you vulnerable to an offensive item of competing drivers. This criticism is perfectly sound, because no game should punish the player for mistakes that were committed by the player.

Ask me about being an elitist jerk

Time for hype

I love how so many people are complaining but in the Halo review thread some of you were on all fours to praise the reviewer who gave Halo a low score because derp "It's his opinion" derp, can you say Irony...... I guess not

Greg's review actually pissed me off. He spent 4 minutes saying either "Modnation did things this way" or "LittleBigPlanet 2 did things this way". That's great. Tell me how the game I'm thinking of buying does things rather than what 2 games I already own do, please.

Other than that, he had some fair criticism. The creations tools for karts in the beta felt nowhere near robust enough, I presumed they'd be improved by the finished game.  The lack of a 'dive in' button is something I was expecting too.

At least one thing from his video review pleased me, and that was that I thought the speed of the racing seemed noticably improved. Still going to buy this, although probably not until after Christmas.

I didn't even knew this was coming out... is Sony doing the usual by releasing an exclusive game and then spend no money on marketing?

Me either.



I think it looks really fun! but it'll probably be the first game with lbp in its title that I wont pick up for a while as i've already got to many games.
