I just rented the game and you can't even move in the higher standings without being hit by lighting or missles. Its worst then the blue shells in Mario Kart.

Does anyone else hate the weapons in the game and think it ruins it

I think the driving part ruins the game. Why should I have to drive when all I want to do is shoot stuff? :roll:

Thats why I hate cart racing games... but honestly you should try posting your grudge elsewhere, like in "general gaming discussion", seeing that you probably hate cart racers as much as I do. Thats kool though, I'm not trippin, just givin' you a heads-up.

No I really don't mind cart racers usally, but this is the worst I've ever seen in ModNation

Sounds like you're just bad at kart racers. Unlike most this game actually have a shield button that fends off attacks.

If you're complaining about NPC rubberbanding it's pretty much inevitable.

pretty much this, and if you cant work out how to use a shield with a simple press of a button perhaps gaming isnt for you.

I agree with you man...its like worst to first finishes in that game.

Many times i was in 1st, saw an attack coming and USED THE SHIELD. It did not matter, the attacks seemed to go straight through. Not to mention, it DOES run out if that bar on the left of the screen is empty. Boost and shield...SAME JUICE BAR. Sometimes, you HAVE NO DEFENSE.

So how about the people insulting those who dislike this aspect of the game stop, because the shield actually is quite useless most of the time.

It's actually not useless. Yes, boost and shield use the same bar, but that adds depth to the game. You probably boost every chance you get, which leaves you with no defenses, when most people factor in the shield and save as much of their bar for defense as they do offense. It's a balancing act. If you're doing well in the race (hardly any mistakes) you don't need to rely on your whole boost bar. The shield is very useful actually. It's about proper timing.

Like everyone else has said, learn to use the shield. You're screwed though when you block one attack only to have another one immediately zone in on you, that seems to happen a lot with CPU

Shield runs out too quickly :?

Many times I use the shiled on an attack, and suddenly another attack comes in while my bar has just emptied and poof: I go down from first to fifth (usually happens right before the finish line as well). I eventually just left the game, it's quite irritating.

The shield is there for a reason. It's actually quite simple to use your shield..sure sometimes it doesn't work, but that's because you timed it wrong or the bar ran out before you got hit.

Exactly, and this happens too often to warrant any fun. I mean there is some fun too be had, but with this kind of frequent frustration it overshadows most of the fun.

Maybe my approach should not be to look at this game as a racing game.

You know how to shield, right? If you get good at timing your shield they shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Umm...what? :? I know the shield can act up sometimes during online matches, but I couldn't understand what you were saying...

Drifting is the best part of the game once you get used to it and the tracks it's easy.
