Ive tried the demo and I thought it was ok, just a bit average. I'll probably still get the game but not until it comes down in price, after the reviews werent brilliant I was always gonna get Red Dead first anyway.

Didn't they also kind of shoot themselves in the foot by revealing LBP2 and that you can make racing games in it?

In regards to the load times being long, are we talking "with" the patch?

In this regard I'll be very disappointed. I understand that load times are an integral part of disk based media but this title screams 'accessible' and the BETA load times totally killed the game for me.

Plus the game is fun anyway. Between this and Split second for example its no contest. This puts Mario Kart to shame in many ways. MK has used the same format since the SNES. Its time for a shake up.

 

I'll grant you that the game is fun, as I bought it today, but it really doesn't put Mario Kart to shame in any place. The karting isn't as robust, weapons aren't that great and the track designs that I've seen so far in the game aren't exactly spectacular in the way some of MK's track are. Granted, it's early days but I doubt there'll be any included track that makes me go wow or makes me constantly want to replay it.

 

I'm not ragging on the game, before you comment Choze, I'm just merely stating you've blown the game way out of proportion by saying it puts MK to shame in many places when it doesn't really. In most, it comes close to matching MK and in others, it's lagging a little behind.

 

It's a great game though and certainly much more enjoyable once you invest some time in the creation tools. The track editor is certainly a great tool and I've been having some fun with it. Not difficult to get to grips with and I've already got a WIP track uploaded to the servers for people to try out. If anyone is interested in trying it, I am looking for feedback on it. Not sure how to search for tracks as I haven't had time to look but basically it's called Seaside1 (just quickly gave it a crappy name as it's a WIP) and the creator is me, Ganepark32.

I picked it up today, mainly because my Daughter was nagging all weekend for it. If you can look past extremely long load times, then its a fun kart racer. Not quite Mario Kart but fun none the less.

I'll have a search for your track now.

 

EDIT: Can't seem to find it. I've looked at my friends list tracks, and also searched 'seaside1'.

Yeh I took it down as I was messing about with it. I've made a few other things so I'll stick them all up on the servers later.

 

Have to say I'm not really enjoying this much at all. I've given it a try but I just can't seem to like it. The track editor is fine but when it's the best bit of the package, it's a little disappointing I think.

 

edit: Uploaded the two tracks that I feel are finished (Azure Marina and Alpine Fields) if anyone wants to try them. Azure Marina is a short track (36 sec flying lap) but I think it's pretty fun. Turn 3 will certainly throw a few people off :p. Alpine Fields is longer (about 1min) and a multi-part corner that hasn't quite worked out (although the last 2 or so turns on it do work as I'd hoped just not the whole thing).

^ Well for some reason, it's gone from £39.99 in store in GAME to £42.99 so it could be awhile before it's discounted :p In all seriousness though, it'll probably get a cut in a couple of weeks. It's happening to basically every new game hitting shelves now.

Not what it says on my browser.

 

It was earlier - I placed an order.

 

Could have been an error but hopefully I get it at that price.

 

Thats a shame for you however you can get it for £17.99 Here!

Oh my little brother already bought this game, I just thought you might have made a mistake is all, since I checked within an hour of you posting that.

 

At least tapedeck doesn't have an excuse not to buy this game now. ;P

So I've finally gotten round to starting the game for real, downloaded an awesome Kagami Hiiragi Mod and Car and played the career some more, completing the home tour 100%, however I mainly played online, had 35 races and won 2 of them against people higher ranked than myself. Nice to see it's in a similar position to the Little Big Planet community with a good amount of people still online. Once Blazblue Contiuum shift arrives I'll juggle my time between the 2 of them. Gonna do some more of the tour tomorrow.
