(He says with a smile…) As the self-appointed spokesperson for men everywhere I can personally attest to the widely unspoken truth than men indeed do some of their best work in their secondary “office.” In fact, had I been given permission to test there, I guarantee I would have scored 175-250 points higher on my S.A.T.’s leading to my unfulfilled dream of attending an “accredited” college. Since that dream has long passed me by, I am left with the dilemma: such a throne of inspiration and enlightenment now left to its utilitarian purpose, what to do? Left to task, those minutes can seem like an eternity. Put to proper use they can be redeemed into many leg-numbingly wonderful times!
The “Pick Up and Play” Gamers Oath:
On a bus, on a train. On a boat, on a plane.
On a ladder, or a stool. In a garden, by the pool.
Standing up, lying prone, or sitting quietly, on a throne.
Okay, all kidding aside, ModNation Racers: Road Trip is a great “pick up and play” game for your new PS Vita. Whether you have a quick few minutes (one race) or the next millennium off from work or school (500,000+ user created tracks) we’ve got you covered.
So put down that newspaper, take a break from doing your taxes or homework and treat yourself to a little gem we call ModNation Racers: Road Trip. You’ll be glad you did!

Any words about Online Multiplayer patches?
I would buy this game instantly if it had online MP.
Awesome, new tracks to check out, hope the ps3 track of the week works on vita, last week’s pirate ship one was awesome but was bugged for vita and wouldn’t let you finish.
Btw this is the only vita game that crosses the line past “pick up and play” for me.
This is due to the loading times (about 5 minutes to get into the first race from launching modnation – worse if you unlock items in the campaign mode).
It’s a great game to play in hot lap mode (minimum lag) on some custom maps while you watch tv so you aren’t put off by all the waiting. If I only had 5-10 minutes spare, I wouldn’t dare launch modnation.
I just found out it costs $40 000 to release a patch on PSN or XBL. I understand there is an advantage in releasing big update as opposed to many small ones but really wish you guys would actually interact with the community for what the majority are asking about each week. Probably have them memorised by now anyway.
Its still no word about the Online MP for road trip? Im here every monday and i will keep coming to say it until its done so i can buy this precious yet unfinished game.
No Online = No buy!
anyways, Double XP week! WOOOTS! Ill be on the ps3 all day to see if finally i can get to lvl 30! those damn last lvls are hard as hell! >_< see u ONLINE guys! :)
Hi Mark, It’s really nice to hear that MNR Road Trip is getting Hot Lap challenges now! It may not be the h2h everyone is asking for, but it’s certainly the next best thing!
Also, to comment on your missing out on an “accredited” college, it’s really funny how many times I’ve heard of people who were never able to go to college, but still ended up becoming very successful. I’d have to go back and check, but I’m pretty sure Steve Jobs fell into that category. I kind of laugh on the inside when I hear someone saying that you ‘have’ to go to college. xD
Wow, slim pickings for the Vita tracks eh Mark? That TOTW just looks like a remake of “The Famous Flying Camel” from PS3 which cluttered up top tracks for, oh, about 9 months when the game first came out. Along with “Drift Superstar” and “Tiki Tuk Mountain”, it’s just about the most hated track on the game! :(
Remember kids, randomly angled props floating in mid-air do not a good track make!
Also, kinda annoyed you keep ignoring my “Emerald Coast’ track for hotlap, don’t tell me it contravenes IP guidelines now, does it?
Hi ath,
I don’t think it was actually a remake. I am very careful to choose original tracks created in Road Trip and not port over remixes. That being said “flattery…”
I must have missed Emerald Coast. No intentional. Sorry
