27 game-inspired characters made in ModNation Racers

From Avatar to Zangief, everyone's represented

Words: on February 4, 2010

The beta of PS3 create-'em-up ModNation Racers supposedly leaves the vast majority of its character creation options locked. But you'd never know it. In the short time its community has existed, an astonishing array of awesome characters have been created - most of which look strangely familiar...

The beta is still open in Europe, but all the places have been taken, so sadly if you haven't got on it already, you'll have to wait until the full game launches later this year. Until then, check out these frankly brilliant custom creations:

    These characters are awesomely created! I didn't have a chance to grab the beta, but seeing this made me want the game even more.

    Yeah you're right, most of them are repulsive. The Lemming is fantastic, but most of them are nasty-looking. Unfortunate.

    Holy wtf why do they look so accurate?! That's insane. The user-made ones on LBP do not look so exact, and while that's part of the fun--creating your own version of an icon--this is uncanny.

    Is the character creation aspect really that good? If so I can't wait to play this game. I've been looking forward to this since I saw it at E3.
