In short: LittleBigPlanet meets Mario Kart on PS3.

Check some vids! (http://uk.media.ps3.ign.com/media/143/14354797/vids_1.html)

I'm feeling the vibe. Are you? :choc:

Got very good reviews and I will be getting it at some point down the track, but not now. With Red Dead Redemption coming out in a few days, and my money being as tight as it is, I'll have to wait a little bit before I get this.

Looks like it could definitely give all other kart racers a run for their money though.

Played one of the betas a while back and wasn't really into the handling of the cars... I know that's a weird thing to say for a Kart racer, but I didn't play much of it to tell the truth. That said, we're probably getting it, the track editor is really good so it's essentially a guaranteed endless stream of great content like LBP. Just hope the handling's been tuned up!

I think I'm getting it aswell. There aren't too many party games for PS3 and LBP got a lil' old. Can't wait to create some funky stuff and race some friends.

I hear that. Buzz and singstar aren't really my thing, personally hoping for a new motorstorm at E3!!!

Don't know much about it, but supposedly it goes up to 12 players at the same time. All user-created tracks can be published and played online, aswell as the tracks on disc.

Also, you can still race online with others while playing with a friend in split-screen. And I'm diggin' that. :choc:

i WAS IN THE BETA i LIKED THE ONLINE PLAY. From reviews it looks like it still has load time issues. The creation is what's pulling me in the most and that sort of scares me because the first thing i wanted to make in the beta was an underwater level and I couldn't. I don't know if the final product will disappoint me in that department.

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on this game sometime in the future. I need a good racer to play after being burned out on Motorstorm and Wipeout.

Just got it and it's awesome. Any EoFF members up for a race?

I will get this game in due time. It looks like a lot of fun. I was a big fan of kart racing games back in the day, but I'm juggling a lot of other games at the moment, and I don't want to make the financial commitment of buying another until I knocked a few of the others off. Red Dead Redemption is still sitting in my car, shrink-wrapped. O_O

This game is awesome. The load times are pretty bad but not as bad as reviewers will make out to be and to be honest it's worth it, the racers are exciting and the customization has yet to get old.

Tons of unlockables too. I beat story mode yesterday and moved on to XP racing, that stuff is badass. :choc:
