LittleBigPlanet Karting exists in this weird, in-between space. This is a kart racer from United Front Games, the folks who put out ModNation Racers on PlayStation 3 more than two years ago. Those creators have taken the LittleBigPlanet franchise and wrapped it around ModNation's established racing engine. So instead of Mods as racers, it's Sackboys. Instead of races being laid out in lists, they're patches peppered on cushy planets. In other words, the worlds of LBP and ModNation have collided to make one game.
That should be awesome, but LittleBigPlanet Karting doesn't have the polish of the LBP games that have come before it, nor the kart racing fun that defined ModNation Racers. Strangely, it's a product that fails to live up to the bar set by each of its predecessors, representing a step backwards for United Front Games as a kart racing developer and LittleBigPlanet as one of Sony’s marquee franchises.
