[PS3 #240] It only does redemption

quote:

Closing Comments
ModNation Racers isn't just a competent kart racer, it's a very good one with an innovative strategic twist. Its player creation features aren't doomed to be ignored; they're enticing, accessible and well-presented enough to really feel integral to the game, rather than an accomplished but ultimately pointless time-sink for dedicated players only. It's the best kart-racing game we've played in a very long while, and one of the first that shows its own personality rather than piggybacking off popular characters or aping the kings of the genre – and the excellent customisation features help to make a good thing even better.

quote:

9.0 Presentation
The characters and cutscenes are colourful, exuberant and humorous, and the customisation features are very intuitive.

9.0 Graphics
Clean-cut, high-definition cartoon looks, well-designed tracks and smooth performance.

8.5 Sound
Cheery music and racers' yelps form an appropriate aural backdrop.

8.5 Gameplay
Unpredictable, high-speed, fun to handle, occasionally a little unfair, but always enjoyable.

9.0 Lasting Appeal
Five tiers of single-player tracks are challenging, but don't last all that long – but the additional challenges and track creation extend the game well beyond completion.

9.0
Outstanding OVERALL
(out of 10)

Als je een nieuwe account aanmaakt, dan kan je ze gelijk gebruiken op je PS3 zolang je de oude account maar behoud. Aangeschafte PSN-titels zijn eigenlijk meer gekoppeld aan de PS3 (serienummer) dan aan de account. Je zou dus (in theorie) 30 accounts kunnen maken die allemaal op dezelfde PS3 dezelfde game kunnen spelen, maar je kan de game maar maximaal op 5 (of recentelijk 3??) PS3's installeren.

Afgezien van de hele drukke momenten zoals 19:00 op de dag van de PSN-store update, haal ik normaal gesproken altijd wel 1 megabyte / sec. Kan dus niet zeggen dat ik PSN nou echt traag vind.

Ik heb laatst Bully uitgespeeld, eigenlijk gewoon een 'lieve' versie van GTA. Toffe setting

quote:

Pros:

* Utterly compulsive create options
* A lengthy, rewarding single player mode
* Split screen multiplayer and 12 player online
* Should in theory last indefinitely

Cons:

* Loading times are an issue
* Frame rate should have been pushed to sixty

I’ve been lucky enough to see ModNation Racers grow over the last few months, and it’s gone from a limited taster of a beta to something wonderfully vast without ever being overly complicated. The creation is as deep or as automatic as you want it, the online as time sapping or as casual as your heart desires – MNR is a game for everyone without ever making anyone feel left out, and in the days of hardcore first person shooters and single player epics, surely that’s exactly what we all need just now?

quote:

After bursting onto the scene in some style last summer during the games conventions and then impressing many with an open beta test earlier in the year, it’s fair to say much of the promise that Play, Create, Share suggested seems to have been fulfilled by ModNation Racers.

quote:

As a karting game there’s no scope for forgiveness for ModNation Racers in that way. Thank goodness then that United Front has pulled off what so many seem to find so difficult in making a truly addictive, infectious and delightfully frustrating karting game.

Because, let’s face it, karting games are supposed to be frustrating at times. Unlike most others ModNation does owe a lot more to skill than kart selection (although you can alter the balance between speed/acceleration and handling/drift to match your style), but skill alone is not enough to win a race when you’ve got such well-balanced weapons on the track. Mastering the use of your arsenal as well as the best use of the drift to earn boost power is essential.

quote:

Even as a karting game ModNation Racers puts the likes Sonic to shame, but add the immense levels of creativity and this is a class apart. It has some technical issues, but once the community comes it should make a worthy partner to Sackboy’s adventures.

Rockstar Games Announces ‘Outlaws To The End’ Co-Op Mission Pack for Red Dead Redemption
Free-to-download co-op game play coming to Red Dead Redemption

New York, NY – May 5, 2010 – Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is proud to announce the ‘Outlaws To The End’ Co-Op multiplayer Mission Pack for Red Dead Redemption. Available FREE this June simultaneously for Xbox LIVE® and PlayStation® Network, this brand new co-op mode adds an entirely new dimension to Red Dead Redemption’s game play.

“Multiplayer in Red Dead Redemption offers players a whole new way to encounter the massive open world we’ve created, but we felt the experience would not be complete without co-op game play,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “With these missions, we wanted to create new ways for players to share in the experience of engaging with this amazing landscape.”

One of three downloadable content packs, the ‘Outlaws To The End’ Co-Op Mission Pack features six all-new multiplayer missions full of outlaws, epic gunfights, and revolution for 2-4 players. The ‘Outlaws to the End’ Co-Op Mission Pack offers additional multiplayer XP rewards and brand new Achievements and Trophies to unlock. These six explosive and epic missions will play out across the game world, including:

“Walton’s Gold”
Walton’s Gang have taken control of a mining camp rich with gold. Fight through the camp and load your mine cart with as much gold as you can carry and get out as fast as you can – Walton’s boys have rigged the place to blow.

“The River”
Ride a raft down river, taking out rebel encampments along the way until you reach the rebel stronghold of Nosalida and a final epic battle for the town’s massive weapons caches. Watch out for Gatling gun-equipped enemy rafts.

“Ammunition”
The Mexican Army has the town of Tesoro Azul under siege. Storm the gates under heavy cannon, Gatling gun and sniper fire to destroy the Mexican artillery placements.

First gameplay trailer for Enslaved, from Ninja Theory, will air this Friday night on GTTV

quote:

United Front deserves to be praised for much that they've done here - putting so much creativity and community in the hands of the player is something which only LittleBigPlanet has pulled off on console before. It's just a shame that that success had to be tempered by a somewhat overenthusiastic approach to the unpredictability inherent in the genre. That said, those with a calmer and more artistic temperament than I, with a little more patience, can probably add another mark to the score - especially online.

quote:

The result is a triumphant toolset attached to a decent stab at the karting genre. Although LBP has the edge in terms of visual charm and broke the ground for this expansive genre, in its details ModNation is not an unworthy successor. Should Play, Create, Share continue expanding, Modnation’s take on it may well be its broadest achievement. It sacrifices a little complexity and depth, but the result is a less intimidating toolset, one that far more people will find easy to use, and far less liable to result in a cluttered hard drive of half-finished masterpieces
