If you have the shopkick app for android or iOS you can get a coupon for 10 dollars off LBP Karting at target today, it is still on sale for 25 dollars today. Offer is only available in store. Shopkick also has a coupon for 10 off Playstation Allstars Battle Royale for the PS3. Look under the big deal book on the target page of the app for the coupons. Good luck!

Ok for $15 I might try it out

Damn, very tempting but I just got sonic racing 2 for the little one for Xmas

It's single player only unless you go online according to the box. Epic failure on Sony's part.

(Why does it need to control your phone's camera LED flash?)

Shopkick is fine in my experience. It has the ability to be super intrusive but they're responsible about it I think.

Been using it for well over a year. That said, I finally just updated to the newest version and find the gui to be completely confusing in comparison to the old version.

No local co-op?!???
Wow, what a horrible decision

Well, even if they're responsible for now, it just take a simple change in the Terms of Use... or a buyout of the app/users by someone else.

To make the secret photos they take of you turn out better, of course.

That's a pretty sweet deal for a game that just came out. Hmmm...

How does this work? They scan your phone? Can i use the app for the coupon and then delete?

No app needed

How does a cart racing game not have local coop? I was going to but this today at BBY (or Target) and am glad I saw this thread. Wow.

No split screen? Wow, that's like having a fighting game with no local multiplayer, it's just not a feature you skip over.

Not sure if I believe this. I am about 95% certain that they show 4 player split screen in the commercial. Going to try to pick this up today with that coupon. Thanks guys!

Lots of apps have what seems like invasive permissions, but they actually have a good reason sometimes. Camera flash? Maybe they allow you to take a picture or scan a bar code?

I'm not defending them blindly, just saying that sometimes people (not you, but you see it in reviews on Play store) tend to overact on permissions.

Wow, thanks op! I'll see if I can grab a copy today!

Some people here are wrong and spreading news without playing the game. The game has offline co-op - my wife and I have been playing it for a couple weeks. The game split screens horizontal with two people. We have not tried with more, but pretty sure it is up to 4 offline as well. The only thing is we cannot figure out how to get two different PSN names to sign in at the same time (you were able to do that in LBP2 and I believe LBP1).

For those who do not have the game, $15 is a no-brainer. $25 cannot be passed by as well. This game has a lot of replay value and the "story" mode will dedicate many hours to 100%. I paid $45 at Newegg (pre-order promo) and do not regret the purchase (okay, it has only been a few weeks since release; maybe I regret not being patient so I could save a little).

Just downloaded the ap and I don't see any target page. All I see is "kicks" and earning points for giftcards
