Dude, Your comments are stupid. Why would Mario Kart rip off a track editing feature? FZero GX for the Gamecube had a track editing feature but Mario Kart Wii did not steal that feature. Nor did the developers steal any features from the better kart games of the 90's like boss battles or the story mode from Diddy Kong Racing or Crash Team Racing. At least give the developers of Mario Kart credit for being creative. With out the Success of Mario Kart Wii there would be no revival of kart racing this gen.

The reason why I say "No, just no." is because whether or not you meant in sales, when this game fails to sell 10billion, folks will try to use this thread as a reference and say that ALL ps3 fans hailed this as a Mario killer in all aspects regardless of whether or not that is true.
So, with that in mind "No, just no."

Based on what I've played in the beta, I reckon ModNation Racers has better gameplay than Mario Kart: Wii, too. The weapons aren't cheap like Mario Kart's are (no blue shells here), and the boost system is really cool.

(Basically, the boost meter is filled up by skidding around corners, doing tricks in the air, attacking another player, or following in another player's slipstream, and you can then use this stored power for speed boosts, shields, and to shunt other players. Choosing what to use the boost for, and when to use it, adds an awesome tactical level to the game that Mario Kart lacks.)

If they can fix the bugs and the frame rate issues (and in the 6+ months of dev time left, I'm sure they will), it's gonna be teh super awesome.

Damn you bought the game already?....where are people getting these time-machines from?

The beta started today. So no time machine required.

So a beta of a game is 1000% better than a game atop of a genre? Really?

Like I said just above, I find the core gameplay mechanics of ModNation Racers to be superior to those of Mario Kart: Wii's.

Throw in the track creator, character creator, kart creator, and superior online play, then yeah, I can see how that would be a valid opinion.

In my opinion, Mod Nation Racers gives someone one less reason to buy a Wii, if they already have a PS3... or in some cases it gives them another reason to buy a PS3...

I don't think it'll hit 20 million or however many Mario Kart has... but it'll be fun! Especially the track editor. It's a great family game.

Blast, all I got was a lousy theme in my inbox.

good job I applied 3 times, only got one code.
