ModNation Racers comes out tomorrow for those in North America and Chuck Lacson, Associate Product Marketing Manager of SCEA has 6 enthusiastic reasons why this game should be in your consoles.
1) The Chuck Wagon (Customizing Your Kart)
It’s not the greatest, but it’s Chuc’s own Kart he designed. You will be able to do this when you pick up your own retail copy.
2) Mini-Me (You’re MOD aka Character)

Creation got you intrigued? One of the first things you might do while playing is to recreate something you already know. Then those are those that want to create something new, something unique.
3) Bringing the HURT (and avoiding Too!)
Weapons, you will be amazed and enjoy the various weapons at your disposal, use them wisely. BLASTING other opponents is great and all, but what happens when the roles get flipped? YOU will need to know how to avoid various tough spots and using a shield at the right moment is key or dodging missles left and right.
4) Attitude Adjustment
IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU THINK YOU’RE GREAT – Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Just like The Rock loves to say, it is true. ModNation Racers reminds you of your mistakes and to learn from it. Your mistakes turn into someone elses advantage. There will always be someone better than you, unless you are truly the number one ranked Karter unanimously.
5) Trading Paint
REMEMBER LittleBIGPlanet? Love to slap other SackBoy and/or SackGirl’s? Well the art of slapping is back and it’s not JUST ONLY for comical reasons. It’s one of the techniques in getting the best of other racers. MASTER IT. TIME IT.
6) Fire FROM My Tires
Other than items, DRIFTING is a HUGE key into getting past your opponents. Drifting at the right corner and how long can help you go from 5th to 1st in a heartbeat. Chuck likes to call it the BEST BACK TO THE FUTURE TRIBUTE EVER!
