Mod your characters create your own tracks and race with your friends wherever you are and however you like
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has announced that ModNation Racers™, the eagerly-awaited creative karting game for PlayStation®3 (PS3™) & PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) - letting you mod, drive and race with your pals wherever and whenever you like. A new type of racing game that puts you in the driving seat and lets you run riot with your creativity, ModNation Racers is fast, easy, funky, stylish – and downright fun.
ModNation Racers isn’t just a world of fast, furious and fun kart racing – it’s your own personal playground with your dream tracks and dream racers. You get to build it all with easy tools that allow you to create the stars, the cars, and the tracks to race them on. The only limit is your imagination! Here’s how you get started:
Step one: Make your Mod:
First, you get to create your own racer from thousands of different options. Choose a face, eyes and hair – will you have a rough and tough Mod to intimidate the opposition or a quirky character who’ll wreak havoc on the track with crazy manoeuvres? Once you’ve got the basics together, you can get really creative with clothes, helmets, jewellery, masks and whatever else you like.
Step two: Create your kart:
Repeat the above to create a killer kart for your Mod. You can make anything from a sleek, sporty number to an anarchic banger covered in graffiti – just express yourself.
Step three: Make tracks and have some fun!
Once again, you’re spoilt for choice. You can choose to take your Mod out to tackle the twists and turns of the game’s pre-made tracks or create your ultimate race track on your own. It’s so easy that you can make one in a few minutes - just drive your Mod around the blank backdrop (think of it as your canvas). Then choose the scenery around it or allow the game to fill trees, mountains, houses and all of the details spring into life behind you. When you’re done, you can race your own track, ‘remix’ it with new props, weapon pickups and obstacles, invite friends to race on it .
There are also a host of the games pre-made mods, karts and tracks for you to race and enjoy. You can choose to race with friends, or to hone your skills on your own. Look out for those traps, weapons and maniac drivers – it’s going to be a wild ride!
