Aside from the two Gran Turismo announcements, Sony also revealed one further racing title at E3. Modnation Racers is a cartoon-style kart racer with impressive track editing tools and online multiplayer modes.

The game is being promoted alongside Sony’s platform game LittleBigPlanet and it bears many similarities to that title. Players can create their own character and skin their own vehicles, but most significantly they can create their own tracks and share them online with others. The demonstration given on stage was particularly impressive – the team created an alpine figure of 8 circuit complete wtih a variety of trackside objects and environmental features in a little over five minutes. The landscaping tools are reminiscent of those in SimCity with the ability to raise and lower water and land positions.

There are a variety of racing options, including single player, two player split screen and online multiplayer for up to 10 people. The game is scheduled for release on disc (not PlayStation Network) in 2010. The first screenshots and the E3 gameplay demonstration appear below:
