The beta for this game didn't impress me at all. You see they may have that LBP "customize" everything feel to it but besides that the core gameplay is still largely the same as Mario Kart. It's still race, collect powerup and race.

They should've tried something new maybe new racing mechanics and try to refresh the genre. An attempt to prioritize skill and dexterity over powerups and holding a button wouldn't hurt would it?? It's still largely the (Oh I'm in 8th place* grabs power weapon that puts in you 3rd) mechanic. Hell driving on grass doesn't even slow you down in this game.

At least with PASBR compared to Smash bros it may look the same but cotdamn once you play and see it for yourself you realize it's a whole different mechanic and core to it that cannot be argued. It stands out on it's own despite the idiots who haven't played it yet saying it's a clone will eat crow when they play it or forever live in denial.

This game though LBP karting is a clone and i'm not saying it's not good but it's just adding another kart racer with not much difference besides customization to the already saturated kart racing genre.

:heh:

You must be ignoring the fact that there will be tons of gameplay tweaks and endless number of courses to race due to the community.

I'm not talking about mere gameplay tweaks and community levels. I'm talking the core gameplay. It's not much different from the other kart racers out there.

Take LBP for instance; on the surface it looked like a regular platformer but it stood out with it's physics, multi layer levels AND the community creation aspect.

This game just added that community creation thing on top of a game that's already out(Modnation Racers)

They should've never made that game if they was going to make this.

I'm sure this game will be fun but so far the beta didn't do anything for me as far as buying day one. I'd also prefer to play this on the vita for some reason, it just makes sense.

Maybe the full version will change my mind. I'm playing it and I felt like I already played it before and that's my issue. When I play LBP I feel like I'm playing something new everyday. If you played MNR you'll kind of understand what I'm trying to say. Idk maybe I'm just not feeling kart racers no more???

Now the battle modes and other game types people will inevitably create will be :ooh: but for now I'll reserve final judgement.
