This is racing by the strictest definition of the word, but it’s not exciting or invigorating.

The controls feel mushy, botching any chance of capturing some much-needed traction. There’s a drift feature, sure, but that exists solely to charge your special meter, which powers a turbo-boost and shield. That is a problem.Ĭonsider: You can navigate just about any of the few dozen included courses by simply steering left and right. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to care quite as much about the actual racing, which is about as sloppy and bland as the customization is comprehensive. Choose a custom vehicle shell! Slap a sticker on your buggy! Dress up your little “Mod” person as a fursuiting cowboy! This is all you! You are expressing yourself and being creative! Isn’t that rad? To be sure, ModNation Racers: Roadtrip is packed to bursting with potential tweaks, mods, and makeover options.
