This would be an excellent PSN title for about £15-£20, unless there is a lot of depth to it like LBP had.

Yeah, I think there is a bit of visual spark needed. Or at least make things a bit more primary colour ala Mario.

The level editor is almost identical to the one found in Far Cry 2, thought that was awesome too.

In terms of speed, the level editing looks awesome, kart games are quite scare on the PS3, so this should do nicely

would be nice if they showed a few more of the 'traps' that were shown in the gameplay video

LBP's tools were too complex for me! So this sounds better

yes, its just sans a bit of character, charisma... it needs a bit of stylistic direction.

Depends on release though, if its PSN then they can get away with it, if this appears for £40 on disc, then no.

@ Widge

This will definitely be a full priced disc. You'll have to wait for a price drop I guess.

This game is now going to finally take the kart racing genre out of the redundant hands that are Mario Kart. Yay!

I thought the driving looked more realistic than forza 3, the car models are definitely more accurate.

Not as good looking as Trackmania. I demand insane loopy-de-loops, corkscrews and jumps in my custom trackbuilding racing games!

Going off the article tagline I was expecting mediocrity, but this all sounds rather jolly =)

i personally thought this looked ace... In fact i'd go as far as to say - best demo of the show.. the one that made me (almost) want to buy a ps3..

my guess is the naysayers are jealous 360 owners...

I personally thought this looked a bit dull and uninspired. And, yes, I own a PS3 and have done since launch.

Though track-building is nothing new (even to consoles) this still looked like a lot of fun and something I'd love to dive into.
I just hope they have all the necesarry loops, corkscrews, ramps, tunnels etc so i can design my own Megarace-inspired rollercoaster masterpiece.

Its gonna live or die based on how flexible and crazy you can get.

The track building looks amazingly simple. Simple or as complex as you wish. Was impressed with a full track being knocked up in the E3 presentation effectively.

Just SPICE up those visuals.

This is now the third game I want to buy a PS3 for, after LBP and Nobi Nobi Boy. Sigh.

Still can't justify chucking money at it, just for that, sadly.

Ah, another cheap shot at the PS3 on the EG forums, somethings never change.

needs longer tracks and loopings. The demo only made an ultra basic ... how do you say this in English? ''8'' form track and the amount of space was already 70% full. WTF?

@smelly: Why would naysayers have to be X360 owners? They are getting a similary styled game.. for free :/

It was a five minute demonstration! The earlier gameplay showed a much larger, more detailed track.

I like the look of this too. Im not really into realistic driving games and I think this could be quite a laugh online.

Does anyone give a crap about these types of games? And has everyone forgotten about Trackmania ffs?

@TheComedian: Trackmania is one of my favourite games.. but the car handling was always a bit sucky.

Thus the reason i'm interested in this.


(if they added puzzle modes like in trackmania.. im buying a ps3!)

And have the internet explode with talks of it being "too kiddy"?

I dunno about this. Building platform levels is a big deal - you can really create something memorable and with it's own gameplay. I just can't see any way for tracks in this game to stand out from eachother, unless they at least introduce more interesting trackmania-style elements.

Or alternatively if it was a proper realistic-handling game like GT or Forza where learning the track really mattered, and a satisfying multi-apex corner is something really worth building. But this game is obviously very, very far away from that.

Yeah, yeah, but does it have damage modelling??
LBP clangers/magic roundabout fabric look would have been much more fun, I reckon. Think Ill wait until the invevitable Sack Kart comes out. Or they skin modnation.

"Ah, another cheap shot at the PS3 on the EG forums, somethings never change."

I agree. I see a lot of these idiots, especially on EG. With every worthwhile PS3 game, they will say something like "looks great, but not worth buying a PS3 for just this one". Then they will continue trolling PS3 boards, and even on the 50th great PS3 exclusive, they will end up saying "not worth buying ..."" even though they have said the same for the previous 49 games as well :)

A PS3-only gamer may as well say "not worth buying a 360 just for Halo, Gears and Mass Effect".

Hmmm looks like it bears more than a passing resemblance to Joy Ride, the free XBLA avatar racing game thats coming out.
