Exactly! As long as YOU enjoy it, that is all that matters. There are a bunch of casual games I enjoy, and I am mostly a core gamer. Not a DAMN thing wrong with that.

If Microsoft wants to put all their iconic characters in a fighting game or kart game then more power to them...I'm not going to hate....I'm sure it would have plenty of characters to choose from....like Master Chief...and...and lol...j/k...please don't start a flame war again!!! I was just kidding....if the game is fun its fun. Both LBPKarting and PSABR both fit that bill so far...not a huge Sly fan but R&C definately.

Oh you could throw some hangers on in there, Dom, Sargent Johnson, the Aribtor.
Grab some of Rares characters as well.
LOL, Banjo vs a Brute!

Actually,14 characters wouldnt be that hard to fill:

MC,
Fenix
Arbiter
Dom
Banjo,
Gruntilda,
Kameo,
Conker,
Joanna Dark,
Alan Wake,
Franklin (Viva Pinata)
Paulie (Viva Pinata)
Crackdown Agent,
Sam Fisher,
Ezio.

Also, a lot of people probably forget MS has already done a version of racing....

**Fon** · 08-01-2012

This went from Sony's PS3 strategy this Christmas to Microsoft's possible version of a MashBro's game. Lol That being said, it would be interesting to see Microsoft counter to that genre if they're ever interested.

**DreDayDetox** · 08-01-2012

this is a neglected genre

and the demographics for gamers based on age should be a good reason for that

**Soldier 95B** · 08-01-2012

Microsoft already has a Kart racer.

**R3D D3V!L** · 08-01-2012

Sony has Modnation Racers. To be fair, LittleBigPlanet Karting is what it should have been in the first place.

Pretty much this. Well it's good that the MNR guys were happy to create another one using the LBP IP. Will be one of my holiday pick ups.

**AaronSOLDIER** · 08-01-2012

I liked MNR so am glad we ended up with both actually.

Sorry to derail the thread...it wasn't my intention as it was just a joke...and certainly Microsoft has some characters plenty to make the game. TBH while I have no desire for kinnect or any of that Microsoft has done a great job at getting families together and appealing to them without neglecting the rest of their fans. I think Sony can do the same thing...and with so many in house developers...shouldn't even have been an issue to us more sophisticated gamers lol.
