i've seen the umd version for a few dollars on ebay, is it playable without the online servers? Are there pre built tracks? really trying to find a kart racer for psp
I agree, it has a lot of things to do, modnation for ps3 is awesome and psvita too, but other games such as Motorstorm i recognize that those are great, but you cant build there or create your own avatar
Being an owner of the PS3 version, the only real complaint I have with the racing mechanics is that they're vastly different from their PS3 counterparts. So even though the tracks are the same, I have to race a different strategy because of the PSP's difference in drifting. It's not unbearable, just annoying, along with the lack of upgradeable weapons. IMHO, if you release the same game for a different platform, the game should feel the same regardless of platform.
You only have to keep practicing to drift well. I just went back online just now to play this game on my PSP, once in a while I enjoy racing in it again. The handling is much better on the PS3 but I found that after a long time I could drift without a worry in the world.
@kingcoapa PS3 version > PSP version. Not even including Mario Kart, the PSP version is just 'eh' as an actual kart racing game overall, mainly due to notable lack of gameplay refinements. It's not bad, but I wouldn't of got it either if Welcome Back never happened. By the look of it, the new one for Vita is more or less the PS3 version, so I honestly can't wait for that one. And I'm enjoying the PS3 version more then any other kart racer.
I already have MNR for PSP, but I am curious: Is the user generated content shared in both versions? Like... a track created in the PSP can be played on PS3 and viceversa. If I get enough money, I'll consider buying this because I love the franchise :)
one thing bothers me. When I began to play it online the first few days, I was able to use any car body. After a time, it only allowed me to use only 1-2 body types. Is it fixed? or is it still the same?
Can you make the tracks go up and down like you can put tracks over a track by using the right joystick on the controller like the PS3 version ? Should i get the PS3 version or PSP version of this game?
@thegreatkenz true that but it WILL be portable a trailer for a new case that comes with a battery thingy which where you can plug the ps3 or xbox to play with a small screen connected to the case the trailer's from ign
@LuckDice When i posted that comment it was during the welcome back program sony has done. LBP 1 and modnation racers for the psp were one of the free options.
@627dotdot The PSN Store you mean? It will come back May 24 from what I heard. I cant wait to get ModNation and Little Big Planet on my PSP that day :)
No friends list, no voice or text chat? It's a HANDHELD game! How much do you expect! How many handheld games do you know where you can create tracks, vehicles, and characters! I don't have a psp, but I think the PS3 version looks great, and if I did have a psp, I would pick this one up too.
@dkmariolink don't worry you can still get your game, just go to account management>Transaction Management>Services List>SCEA Promotion and in there you will see you welcome back offers, which ever one you messed up with just press it if in the bottom where it says remaining it has the number 1 then all you gotta do is choose the game you want and there you go :) all the rest will say 0 cause those are the ones u got the games for already :)
@Cheesymango1 they rate the game in 4 parts, sound, gameplay, grapchics and presentation, they rate each with points and just add .5 if they think i should, then they average it and it might come up with some random decimal number...i think :P
I went ahead and got this game. Its not that bad. it does seem like your going fast. The only ONE thing that sucks bout this game is the bad drifting on the psp.
@littleman411 I think you are right, but imagine how great would this game be if you had buddy list and voicechat.... I would give it 10/10 even with 2D graphics
So if I have a psp and a ps3 does that mean I actually get 4 games? And 2, If I have LBP and Infamous already, what should I get? I may have already chose dead Nation cause i loove Zombie games. :D Help me out please!
getting this and pursuit force thanks sony. i would get killzone liberation but it doesnt come with the multiplayer add on so i cant see me playing it very long.
@littleman411 You're saying they shouldn't rate the game for it's CONTENT? What else are you going to rate it for? And it doesn't matter about good graphics, the big complaint here is that the driving mechanics are bad. Mario Kart on DS has some pretty boxy graphics that don't compare to the console versions either but they managed to capture the same experience you got on the consoles, and IGN gave that the good score it deserves.
played the psp demo, and the game is pretty good, the game does have that kick ass feeling, the weapons are nice, and the drifting....well youre not suposed to drift everywhere like the dude on the video does..... when it comes to creating maps, its simply awesome, you can do lots of stuff and character creation, well the demo doesnt have that...lol
Hey i need help.. I have modnation racers psp, my brother used the code for online play for his psp and now it says the code wont work for mine. I really dont want to spend 15.00 to play this online... Is there any other way i can get another code or something? Thanks for the help everyone, have a nice day.
Me, I don't care a hole lot about the visuals. If there awesome, sweet. If not, it still might be good. Plus it's a portable system! What do you think this is a PS3? The graphics could be better that wouldn't leave room for great gameplay.
Is this game exactly the same than the ps3 version? What I mean if is the story mode and tracks and stuff? Please somebody tell me cause I need to pick my other psp free game but I have the Ps3 version and I dont want the same game :s
Guys, if you want a real tough, funny, challenging racing game i recommend pursuit force. It is very fun and addicting and the hardest game I've ever played.
2 reasons that I don't always prefer this game. 1. The creation is REALLY dulled-down, and that sucks. 2. The karts and mods can be glitchy, especially on user created tracks (example: i randomly fall through the ground or get stuck in a wall on my own tracks...).
@thunderme345 Dude you do know that SUper Mario Galaxy 2 is the 2nd best rated game of all time right? Which means IGN isn't the only one who loves it.
man this game looks freakishly good :O always liked maria kart and no other race games....but this....looks even funnier than mario kart....AND ITS PORTABLE!! OH HELL YEA IM GONNA GET IT!!! * runs to the store.... *
kann das spiel nur empfehlen! am anfang ist es wirklich nich leicht (aber is das nich auch besser so?^^) vor allem der editormodus was fahrer,fahrzeug und strecken angeht ist super...die demo gibt da schon einen guten einblick ;)

I was around 6 or 7 when I played this game. It was actually the first video game I ever played. I miss these days, and I think I still have that game
for anyone interested the servers for this version are still online you just need to buy a pass to acess it
i've seen the umd version for a few dollars on ebay, is it playable without the online servers? Are there pre built tracks? really trying to find a kart racer for psp
Yes, There are built in tracks and you can still play the game even if you're offline.
Yes, they definately focused on the PS3 version. This was just a bonus for those handheld gamers.
I think modnation racers is the best racing game ever
Well yes, but actually no. What About MotorStorm?
I agree, it has a lot of things to do, modnation for ps3 is awesome and psvita too, but other games such as Motorstorm i recognize that those are great, but you cant build there or create your own avatar
@@thatgreekmothafuka
motorstorm is amazing even by today standard.
All the mario kart games: *Am I a joke to you?!*
@@lordwoody8352 this was 7 years ago to this day I love mario kart way more than modnation racers
I never knew there was a Modnation for PSP!
Me too! That is pretty cool
@@avenger115x i will download it rn
There's also one for Vita.
I LOVED the PS3 version,and I got this for X-mas.
I freaking had the same expression for this one,and LOVE it!
the ps3 version is better
yup
The PS Vita is the best
so many memories , if you were playing online 8 years ago, chances are we raced each other.
Ah good ol IGN where they weren't payed to give good reviews to games that didn't deserve it. The psp version is lacking to it's console brother.
Being an owner of the PS3 version, the only real complaint I have with the racing mechanics is that they're vastly different from their PS3 counterparts. So even though the tracks are the same, I have to race a different strategy because of the PSP's difference in drifting.

This is one of the games Sony are offering on the welcome back promotion for PSP owners
wow I didnt know it was gonna be for PSP as well! This is sweet ima get it for both the PS3 & PSP now I can play it on the go as well!
MNR on PS3 was perfect! But MNR on the PSP had alot of problems, I still liked it, but I didn't play it to death like the PS3 version.
Ok it's a psp (portable) game, I think these graphics look pretty good for a portable system
@kingcoapa PS3 version > PSP version.
Not even including Mario Kart, the PSP version is just 'eh' as an actual kart racing game overall, mainly due to notable lack of gameplay refinements. It's not bad, but I wouldn't of got it either if Welcome Back never happened.
By the look of it, the new one for Vita is more or less the PS3 version, so I honestly can't wait for that one. And I'm enjoying the PS3 version more then any other kart racer.
damm this game is 8 years old can still remember that i pre ordered it when i was 11
Guys if I were you, I would pick LBP and Modnation... there both one of the best games on the PSP
I need opinions!
Should I get this?
What are the best racing games for psp
I already have MNR for PSP, but I am curious:
Is the user generated content shared in both versions? Like... a track created in the PSP can be played on PS3 and viceversa.
If I get enough money, I'll consider buying this because I love the franchise :)
Well atleast the editors doesn't use touch controls
@ranthony023 Your right but whats your point. I'm looking to get either this or Pursuit Force.
this guy is brutal on the psp....its a little device and can still do all that
Things could be sharper? What they've done already is amazing.
just an invalid opinion, this game was ahead of its time.
One of the games im getting is killzone liberation so for the other space which is better LBP or Modnation racers?
when you created a racetrack, can you race offline against computer controlled mods too or can you just play online at your own track?
one thing bothers me. When I began to play it online the first few days, I was able to use any car body. After a time, it only allowed me to use only 1-2 body types. Is it fixed? or is it still the same?
Can you make the tracks go up and down like you can put tracks over a track by using the right joystick on the controller like the PS3 version ?
Should i get the PS3 version or PSP version of this game?
Does anyone know when will the Welcome Back begin? Or is it alredy started?
i have no problem drifting in this game, you just have to correct your drift path if you start to early or late
@thegreatkenz true that but it WILL be portable a trailer for a new case that comes with a battery thingy which where you can plug the ps3 or xbox to play with a small screen connected to the case the trailer's from ign
To drift I just push left AFTER pushing right then left/right for bigger/smaller turns. Try it.
hey dudes, play the demo of this game on the psp, it looks better on the psp than on this screen, since bigger screen make the pixels alot bigger
it says on the site that if you get the ps3 and psp versions of the game, you get a "special gift" thing for the psp, and I have yet to get it..
@XBOTSrUs Oh and 71 million units isn't declining. That's more than double the PS3 install base.
@tatico3 Since when do graphics make the game?
what should i get littlebig plant or madnation racers for psp?
@LuckDice When i posted that comment it was during the welcome back program sony has done. LBP 1 and modnation racers for the psp were one of the free options.
@627dotdot The PSN Store you mean? It will come back May 24 from what I heard. I cant wait to get ModNation and Little Big Planet on my PSP that day :)
Well, I know one of the games I'm getting with Sony's welcome back program.
I already have LBP, so...
Should I get PSP version or PS3 version?
@Jatton7 i TOTALLY agree with you. I feel like the psp version is a little too watered down since i have played both versions
kart racer ! :) loveed that game . can't wait till this comes out
I can see me just creating maps alllllll day :)
No friends list, no voice or text chat? It's a HANDHELD game! How much do you expect! How many handheld games do you know where you can create tracks, vehicles, and characters! I don't have a psp, but I think the PS3 version looks great, and if I did have a psp, I would pick this one up too.
Downloading this game now. Here in India, my internet connection is so slow that it takes almost 6 to 7 hours to pull down the game.
@itmontero yes you can, lvl 1 till 10 is pretty easy but when you becomes 15 it's alot harder to promote.
It will never be as good as Mario Kart.
how does IGN manage to get an ad on every single on e of their videos
I agree with the drifting problems in the psp version and before any of you say it... NO I do not suck at the game.
@dkmariolink don't worry you can still get your game, just go to account management>Transaction Management>Services List>SCEA Promotion and in there you will see you welcome back offers, which ever one you messed up with just press it if in the bottom where it says remaining it has the number 1 then all you gotta do is choose the game you want and there you go :) all the rest will say 0 cause those are the ones u got the games for already :)
Nobody would even be looking at this video if it wasnt for the Welcome Back Program
what should i get ? psp go or psp 3000
is the full psp ganme out yet
@Cheesymango1 they rate the game in 4 parts, sound, gameplay, grapchics and presentation, they rate each with points and just add .5 if they think i should, then they average it and it might come up with some random decimal number...i think :P
This should come back at least as a mobile game
this game looks cool.
war should i get ?? this or LBP ??
I went ahead and got this game. Its not that bad. it does seem like your going fast. The only ONE thing that sucks bout this game is the bad drifting on the psp.
Is it worth playing offline?
Damn this game has better graphics than wii
is this game any good? in fact are any of the WB psp offers much good?
Fair enough..... i want his review on the console version.
really need to know what is a good fast paced racing game that isnt burnout
@littleman411 I think you are right, but imagine how great would this game be if you had buddy list and voicechat.... I would give it 10/10 even with 2D graphics
if you buy this on PS store how do you get the online entitlement???!
So if I have a psp and a ps3 does that mean I actually get 4 games? And 2, If I have LBP and Infamous already, what should I get? I may have already chose dead Nation cause i loove Zombie games. :D Help me out please!
i was choosing between this & little big planet...i chose this
welcome back program ?
where can i get it ( how ) ?
Awesome review as always guys!
getting this and pursuit force thanks sony. i would get killzone liberation but it doesnt come with the multiplayer add on so i cant see me playing it very long.
does this have online option? or just ad hoc
Mario Kart for PSP? am I right or am I right?
@littleman411 You're saying they shouldn't rate the game for it's CONTENT? What else are you going to rate it for? And it doesn't matter about good graphics, the big complaint here is that the driving mechanics are bad. Mario Kart on DS has some pretty boxy graphics that don't compare to the console versions either but they managed to capture the same experience you got on the consoles, and IGN gave that the good score it deserves.
Does teh PSP version offer online play?
played the psp demo, and the game is pretty good, the game does have that kick ass feeling, the weapons are nice, and the drifting....well youre not suposed to drift everywhere like the dude on the video does.....
when it comes to creating maps, its simply awesome, you can do lots of stuff
and character creation, well the demo doesnt have that...lol
what firmware do i need to run that? thx
@Ocelot60 Yeah, but still i can't believe it that the Mods in create mode are ALIVE! Really Alive! O_O
This game looks like a quick last minute cash-in.
@HombreAlabama Actually, I kinda know what they mean. On the PSP version, it feels like if you try to drift, you'll veer hard enough into a wall.
It's the PSP. Of course its going to be crappier than the PS3. But it's still hella fun.
More PSP games should have infrastructure. Theyre worth the money in that case... am i right?
Hey i need help.. I have modnation racers psp, my brother used the code for online play for his psp and now it says the code wont work for mine. I really dont want to spend 15.00 to play this online... Is there any other way i can get another code or something? Thanks for the help everyone, have a nice day.
looks mario but the difference is they made it more fun and made it to be a ulitmate racer games also the ps3 version is awesome!
Me, I don't care a hole lot about the visuals. If there awesome, sweet. If not, it still might be good. Plus it's a portable system! What do you think this is a PS3? The graphics could be better that wouldn't leave room for great gameplay.
@loliong he also missed god of war 4 the revenge of the sith reloaded edition
should i get it for ps3 or psp
Is this game exactly the same than the ps3 version? What I mean if is the story mode and tracks and stuff? Please somebody tell me cause I need to pick my other psp free game but I have the Ps3 version and I dont want the same game :s
it's either drifting is really too stiff or he sucks at it
I'm confused... How can you ever feel like a "badass" kart racer while playing a kart racer? It's awesome in all ways, but bad is not the word for it.
Guys, if you want a real tough, funny, challenging racing game i recommend pursuit force. It is very fun and addicting and the hardest game I've ever played.
@GamMan93 i totally agree they compare it too much with the ps3 and complain about how the psp lacks in detail compared to the ps3
2 reasons that I don't always prefer this game. 1. The creation is REALLY dulled-down, and that sucks. 2. The karts and mods can be glitchy, especially on user created tracks (example: i randomly fall through the ground or get stuck in a wall on my own tracks...).
should i get this game? or just save my money is it good?
Well i love this game. Plus the drifting is simple.
@divinidadoscura thats nice to know. butter is to green so i stoped puting it on my thighs
@thunderme345 Dude you do know that SUper Mario Galaxy 2 is the 2nd best rated game of all time right? Which means IGN isn't the only one who loves it.
man this game looks freakishly good :O always liked maria kart and no other race games....but this....looks even funnier than mario kart....AND ITS PORTABLE!! OH HELL YEA IM GONNA GET IT!!! * runs to the store.... *
the guy reviewing this sounds like seth green.
kann das spiel nur empfehlen! am anfang ist es wirklich nich leicht (aber is das nich auch besser so?^^) vor allem der editormodus was fahrer,fahrzeug und strecken angeht ist super...die demo gibt da schon einen guten einblick ;)
