Two ways LittleBigPlanet Karting improves on ModNation Racers

Two ways LittleBigPlanet Karting improves on ModNation Racers

LittleBigPlanet Karting comes out tomorrow--although you probably wouldn't know it based on Sony's anemic marketing for it. Some have written it off as ModNation Racers with a LittleBigPlanet skin. And while that isn't entirely inaccurate, I'd like to point out two notable enhancements made to Karting.

First are the load times. Perhaps the greatest flaw of United Front's original play, create, share racer were the minute-long loads that preceded every race. Spending 20 percent of your play time looking at a load screen is not entertainment--and thankfully, that's been thoroughly rectified in LBPK. The developer had to rewrite the engine from scratch, and the end result is as clear as night and day.

LittleBigPlanet costume DLC will transfer into Karting, Vita

LittleBigPlanet costume DLC will transfer into Karting, Vita

The LittleBigPlanet series has gotten quite a bit of downloadable content, if you count the various costume packs. With two new LBP games on the way, the powers that be have figured out a way to make sure any DLC you've paid for will continue working.

Any costumes you've bought for the first two LittleBigPlanet games can be imported for free into LittleBigPlanet Vita or LittleBigPlanet Karting. Plus, from now on your costume purchases will all be counted across LBP2, Vita, and Karting.
