Date played: July 5th
Platform: PS3
Session fun rating: 6/10
After waiting more than 20 minutes for this game to patch, my brother and I finally got around to playing a bit. It makes a good first impression with a very cool intro video, good art and the always pleasant LBP narrator. The tutorial quickly makes it clear that this is a straight up Mario Kart clone. It controls the same, it feels the same and it drifts the same. Those are good things.
We exclusively played online with some user created levels and other players. We are both pretty damn good at racing games and have been playing kart games together since the original Super Mario Kart so we fucking destroyed all other players. The first level we played was a complete remake of Moo Moo Farm from Mario Kart 64. It was very well made and even had custom built items. We played that three times in a row...
We then tried two other maps. One was completely borked. The interface was absent, the split screen wasn't working and we got stuck in a corner somewhere. Still, it had some amazing jumps, some crazy crocodiles and even an avalanche. Overall, I liked my time with this game but it could be a lot fucking better.
