Players can share their creations online, uploading cars, racers and tracks for the enjoyment of the ModNation community. While you can bolt together your own Batmobile in a few minutes, it’ll take considerably longer to craft, say, a picture perfect version of a famous Mario Kart track. Placing the track itself is just the beginning, with terrain to be be scaled up or down, trees to be placed, hidden tracks to add, items to drop, traps to trigger, and ramps to provide. Unlike modding racers and vehicles, track creation is a far more involved process, and while there are helpful “autocomplete” and “autopopulate” features to speed through the system, dedicated architects could happily spend hours, if not days, crafting the ultimate track with which to confound their friends and foes. The final, and perhaps biggest, part of ModNation‘s creation process is the building of actual racetracks. In short, if every player were to use their own original creations, there would be no reason for any two racers to look the game. Although more items for modding can be unlocked, the core provisions are enough to create a huge amount of varied and striking characters. It’s also incredibly easy - Simply choose a skin and pop on facial features, clothes, hairstyles and accessories however you see fit.

It’s partially helped by just how cool the characters themselves look, with a fantastic super-deformed design that leads to all manner of hilarious and impressive creations. ModNation’s creativity is, in short, amazing. Customization is king, and it’s a very wonderful king indeed. After passing the test race, players are let loose into a world of customization and silliness, able to scrap Tag in favor of Iron Man, or Optimus Prime, or the Chatterer from Hellraiser (I made that one!). The game starts out by telling the tale of a young racer called Tag who dreams of joining the ModNation Racing championship.
