Maybe United Front Games will offer a combat arena option in a later DLC package - but I couldn’t help thinking, considering the fast-paced action (as well as fun weaponry), why players weren’t given the opportunity to throw down in a ModNation-style destruction derby. The only major ModNation omission, which I can’t actually hold against the game but seems like a missed opportunity, would have been the inclusion of a Mario Kart 64-style battle mode. Like any user-creation platform, player votes help feature the most dynamic content while burying the less successful creations. In addition, the remix function allows you to download another user’s mod, track, or kart, and add your own personal flair (assuming the creator has enabled changes) - creating a very organic and constantly-evolving community of content. The problem stems from the accuracy and brutality of the AI racers, who have each mastered every tool available in the game, drifting, drafting, sideswiping, shielding, and even the starting line boost. Hardcore gamers will very likely enjoy shaving time off their laps, seeking out shortcuts, and refining when to use a power-up or environmental attack. The difficulty is not a result of poor track-design, as each race can easily be passed - assuming you make only one or two minor mistakes. While I was still able to clear all 28 tracks featured in the career mode within several hours, many players, especially younger gamers, will face an exponentially difficult, uphill struggle once they reach the ‘Grim Tournament’ (the 4th tier of tracks). in the single player game - and the computer controlled characters are uncompromising and overly-aggressive. The difficulty options available for online and split-screen races are M.I.A. However, playing against the AI, especially in ModNation’s career mode, is an absolute nightmare.
