    It is everything you can expect: very fun, well-presented and with a simple, yet powerful editor, although not as much as the domestic version.
  2. Despite some weaknesses in the driving sections - which you would think would be a deal-breaker for a racing game - the overall package is still very much worth it.

    It's less flashy but more suited to PSP. [Aug 2010, p.97]

    There are at least enough creative, sharing and multiplayer options to stop things going stale. [July 2010, p.118]
  5. ModNation Racer's astonishing editing tool and bucketfuls of personality are let down by lacklustre handling and sensation of speed.

    Little brother of PS3 version comes with raw driving and heightened difficulty. Lots of fun waits in the game editor and multiplayer duels. [Issue#192]

I played the ps3 version a while back and it was pretty nice. The creating was way too addicting and the cart racing was fun and easy to get a hold of. The psp version's creating part is almost just as fun, with customization up the ass. The racing is fun but the drifting is incredibly difficult to use. I usually don't drift at all unless a mission gives extra for it. Overall, the graphics are nice, the racing is fun, the customization is very deep, and it's on the go of course! Consider it a lesser version of the ps3 version. But it's portable so it makes up for it, at least for me. Expand

    Esta bien el port, pero la IA es mas frustrante al igual que los controles y ademas perdio un monton de contenido...

    Juicy animations, a variety of cars, attacking buffs and debuffs, a map editor
