With the extensive customisation, robust level editor with instant access to the PS3 library, and overall polished track design, it doesn't really matter where the ideas in ModNation came from. It's one of the more complete packages in the Vita launch lineup, and also one of the safest bets in terms of having fun.
Best of all, racing acumen matters-Road Trip doesn't operate on the "if you're in last place we'll give you a magic toy so you can win" logic of modern Mario Kart games.

This game is fun, the graphics are there, the soundtrack is fun, and the customizable features are super addictive. I've downloaded perfect mods of sonic, Mario, commander Shepard, and spider man! Now all we need is an online feature. This is my first MNR game, if it had an online feature I would never leave my house.

Great game. I really couldn't care less that the online play isn't here, as I didn't pick it up expecting it. Sure it would be nice but I don't buy games expecting it unless its an mmo. The game is fun, and lets us customize carts and tracks, which is fantastic. Graphics are pretty good, especially for a launch title. Pick it up for some fun on the go, without requiring large investments of time.

A rushed packing job to hit the road and enjoy the adventurous escape of Vita's launch. It's got a lot to offer and has a wealth of good times in store, but with a little more time spent on getting things together this could've been the trip of a lifetime.
Does not stand out in any way and disappoints with its lack of internet multiplayer. [March 2012, p.77]
It's far from a disaster, but it's not really the challenger to Mario Kart 7 that we were hoping for.
It´s not a really an aggravating game, but one that could have used
six months of extra development time, to make it an organic and
natural extension to its PS3-counterpart. As it stands, Sony is
leaving the ModNation Racers community hanging in the air – not a big
surprise after the announcement of LittleBigPlanet Karting, though.
It's a complete misfire, and no amount of goofy skins or nifty track editors can make up for the seriously busted fundamentals.
I like the extra features that are not featured in the PS3 version but the PS3 version is still better. Never the less I still enjoy playing it. For a handheld this game is pretty good. I do recommend it more for casual gamers.

Despite the lack of multiplayer featured i found modnation really enjoyable, good graphics, good sound and a formula in kart racing game that i love, you can go first and that doesn't mean you cannot defend or have bad items the same for the last place doesn't mean that you will have the best item, that is the formula i like a lot for this game, some issues with the touch interface but in general terms a great game for those who love his elder brother in ps3

Modnation is great kart racing game it's really fun and a good time waster first off:i like the the way the game has a great variety of creation options, There great aumont of different items to customize your Mod,kart and cool tools to create a racing track,and if your really creative u can share your creations with the world!,and if your not creative(like me) then you can rate and download any creation u want,the racing is fun and there good weapons u can use each with three upgrades but the bad about the game is that sometimes when ur racing the game gets really slow and glitchy,the visuals aren't that impressive and the worst thing about there is no multiplayer only adhoc(sigh) but it is in fact still a great game,if u c it on sale pick up
That why my score is:7/10(A different racer but with major flaws but still really fun)

By far the worst kart racer I have ever played. It's just such a blatant rush job that it's almost offensive the developers expect people to pay for it. Everything here is botched. The touch screen controls are unresponsive and the regular controls are just too touchy. There is noticeable slow down at times and the loading screens are unbearably long. The whole experience fall flat thanks to it's lack of online multiplayer. Sure you've got ad-hoc and can post your best times from the timed-trials mode, but for the most part your stuck with the crappy single-player modes.
The career mode here is a frustrating waste of time. It feels unbalanced thanks to how much slower your kart is compared to the karts of the AI. Later tours in the career have tracks filled with unfair drop-offs and obstacles that are there for the sole purpose of screwing you out of a victory. To make matters worse the weapons are entirely useless. All in all it's just unfair and no fun to play.
The customization options are all just cosmetic. You can change the way your racer and kart looks, but there's no way to make either go faster or handle better. Track customization barely works thank to the unresponsive touch-screen controls. It all just feels so worthless in the end.
This is one awful kart racer. It's clear the developers rushed it out hoping to get by on name alone. If you're looking for a good kart racer on the Vita I recommend the infinitely superior Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. It not only includes online multiplayer, but it actually work and is fun to play unlike this travesty ****. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one at all costs.
