Apparently it is the default difficulty.
Yah, I'm done with this game. I almost finished the 4th circuit, but it's just no longer fun. Amusingly enough, the next game from GAmefly is Blur, so we'll see how that compares.
One bizarre thing Modnation did was put the trigger events button on R1 when accelerate is R2, so you have to use your middle finger on R2 and index finger on R1. Very odd, especially when triangle is only used for looking back, which is used much elss often than triggering events. Also, they don't teach you about how to trigger events until the 4th circuit, even though there are multiple triggerable events that would a lot of the previous races much easier earlier on in the game.
But what really killed this game for me was the controls, difficulty, and loading times. Maybe I'm a Mario Kart only kind of kart racing fan.

Hi guys... made a new track in my desperate wait for the LBP2.
It's called RIDGE RACER TYPE GR
Not based on any real ridge racer experience - more the feeling of drifting at speed past tall buildings. let me know what you think.... remixed it from a previous track but redid a lot of the layout... just there was on particular section i wanted to keep... anyway, let me know what you think.
hope you like it...
p.s. the causal difficulty doesn't seem to make any difference?

Race through an abandoned kart factory as it faces demolition. Be careful, however, as the machinery within is still quite active.
The race starts on the streets of the deserted factory town.
Smash through the security gates and enter the factory. The conveyor belts constantly move to help or hinder your progress. Avoid the crushing machines.
Up to the catwalks above, where you have a choice of direction.
Left takes you to a room with conveyor belts transporting barrels and a sewer...
Right gives you the option of braving the fast-spinning fan of an air vent and launching through a smokestack.
Regardless of choice, maneuver around a giant bulldozer's blade and make your way back to town.
On lap 3, this wall collapses.
Conservative Demolition mod and kart to go with the track. Richard has a new business.

Ha, good work dude looks great.
I'm still waiting on a price drop before I pick this up, since I'm strapped for cash. Hopefully sooner than later cause GT5 and LPB2 (mixed with SC2) and I won't have much time for anything else.

I stopped playing when it was just to hard for me to unlock stuff. I dont like making mods or tracks unless i have 100% of the stuff. Same thing happened with LBP, I worked my but off to get 100% stuff and then my PS3 HDD died. I lost all my stuff and had no ambition to go back and unlock it all over again....so I quit.
I wish Sony would sell me all the crap for like $5

Another great track RagnarokX! Please keep on producing these amazing tracks. After taking a break from Mod Nation I played again a lot with my friend the other day. We literally played this game the whole a long with my roommates in 2 person split screen and it was incredibly fun and very addicting. Your tracks are still the best I've played in this game and they are always different from each other. I think my favorite of yours is still Modopolis. Anyways, keep it up and I will definitely be downloading your newest creation.
I still feel that this game is and will be over looked. This is probably my favorite multiplayer game this gen next to Super Smash Bros Brawl and Battlefield Bad Company 2.

Returned this game today to finish up career mode. I'm on the last circuit and it seems a lot easier and less rubberbandy. Two things New things vie noticed is that if you drive through the teleport rings an AI player activated you teleport as well. Also a bigger deal should have been made about skipping directly to career mode without entering the mod spot at all. Pretty great.
Went back to this today for a few hours, in pursuit of that platinum trophy, lol. Very difficult to get, and MAN, online races were fun, but hard.
I noticed that I'd be ahead of almost everyone. Almost. Generally there was one or two people way in front of me, then me, and then about 5 or more people way behind me. The gap between great, good, and garbage is pretty massive, lol.

I am tempted, but I am not quite sure i'd like it- what other game does it compare to (preferably older, I haven't played a racing game in agesreKon said:

I hate to sound like an ass, but for the love of god do not buy this game if you like older racing games. This game exemplifies everything that is wrong with modern racing games, due to it's absolutely bullshit cheating A.I and the inability to unlock custom parts without beating it. Basically, to unlock the parts to get into the customisation part of the game, you need to beat the career mode and all of the challenges, but the career mode, even on casual difficulty is full of A.I bullshit cheating and bad design decisions. The design in uncanny valley LittleBigPlanet, but with most of the charm removed due to the characters having voices.
To compare it to other games, it's basically Diddy Kong Racing's power up system in Mario Kart where you have a boost bar from drifting rather than a straight up instant boost, but also with some LittleBigPlanet car/racetrack/driver design functionality, which should've been great, but in my opinion, the devs fucked up massively on pretty much every front.

It's faster than before, but still takes about 30 seconds to load each time, rather than the 45+ seconds it took before

Seriously, are they kidding me? I just wanted to re-install the game (upgraded my hard drive) and its telling me that I have to download a Patch. I downloaded the first one, had to go after that so I shut down the PS3. Since Im a PS+ Subscriber it wanted to download the rest of the Patch the next morning.
I wanted the game to be Patched, mainly because of the loading times, but the size of the Patches is getting ridiculous. I cant be the only one with a not-too-fast internet connection.

was playing this today and holy shit I was getting dominated. Even though like 10 people here play this game (and it's still incredible), does anyone have any racing tips?
I don't feel like getting owned all the time by level 30's. I happened to be playing the 5th ranked person of all time in this game (http://community.modnation.com/en-us/players/alwayswilliam) He was fucking destroying me by 10-20 seconds each XP series race AND I was consistently 6-8th in those. I need to get better :lol (this is coming from someone who beat the Career Mode before they added casuaul mode and felt it was challenging, but not THAT hard). The problem is that I go too slow.

Though it doesn't start getting really good until three minutes into the four minute video.The rest is annoying fluff.
The Asia track campaign sounds cool though and new trophies are awesome. Though they better get to this FAST because LBP2 is just around the corner and will CRUSH them.
I think this is the saddest, shortest OT in GAF history.:lol

Alrighty, I picked this up around noon-ish and played a few tracks. Amazingly good so far!
So................ what are the best tracks to race on in GAF's opinion? I think I'm going to go with GAF's thoughts rather than the entire PS3 user review community- especially after seeing the crappy user created drivers that were given 4 and a half stars.
Most importantly, is there a list somewhere of GAF created content?

So I rented this to play with my girlfriend after we had a blast with LBP2, and my fucking God are the loading times absolutely game breaking. We spent longer looking at a loading screen than we did in races.
How did it get a release in this state? It seems a fun little game but it's getting sent right back.
The concept is awesome but I refuse to sit through that. Modnation Racers 2 would appeal to me if it didn't have the same issue.
A big letdown.

How is the community on this game now? I'm really interested now with it's Greatest Hits entry price and with United Front's True Crime dream dead I'd like to help them out, even if really really late =P

The problem is that the game is dynamically building each course as it is loading; it's not just reading files off the disc and dropping textures into place. This is related to the core engine technology of the game.
They just didn't get their technology optimized enough for prime time. It isn't really acceptable by current standards, I think, despite the fact that the game is good anyway.
