That would be a game to contend with! As it stands now. Imagine Motorstorm 2 with grassy levels (with varying muddy batches, high grass, etc.), snow covered and icy terrain levels, new vehicles (snow mobiles, hovercrafts, monster trucks), and a wider selection and variety of tracks. It could be a franchise to contend with the next time around. It's a great start and a great showcase title for the PS3. There's actually not many tracks at all which further hampers what could be a fantastic game. It's just a shame that all the tracks look so similar. I understand that Motor Storm takes place in an undisclosed desert and is an undersground event.but do all the levels have to be sandy gold, gritty orange, and muddy maroon? Don't get me wrong.the different textures and tracks and how different vehicles all handle them is very fun. MotorStorm for Playstation 3 remains a gorgeous looking game and really boils down to this: It's an intense racing title with gorgeous graphics, a great variety of vehicles, and a bunch of levels and tracks that all look very similar. MotorStorm is a Visceral and enjoyable Desert ride Online play is available, but I haven't experienced it yet to comment on it. Load times for choosing vehicles and starting races are a bit slow, but understandable given the graphical complexity. Individual races last several minutes each, so there's not a large time commitment. Game physics are also very good.Ĭontrols are simple and quick to learn. All of these effects, along with the surrounding terrain and views are beautifully rendered. The tracks are not a single path, which adds to the challenge - there are always multiple ways to get around, some better suited to particular vehicle types, and the track changes on each lap as it is torn up by the competitors and obstacles are pushed around.ĭuring the race mud splatters on your windshield, vehicles get dirty and damaged, and when you "die" there are explosions and a slow-mo replay of your vehicle flying apart. Races take place on eight different muddy, rocky, off-road tracks through canyons, over rock formations, and around various obstacles. Seven vehicle classes are available from motocross bikes to big rigs and multiple models and trims are available within each class. ![]() The premise of the game is a huge racing festival taking place in the desert of Monument Valley, AZ. The title was a great choice by Sony to showcase the PS3 - the graphics are excellent, it's a lot of fun to play, and it has simple controls and short games to make it easy to get into. MotorStorm ships with the 80GB version of the PS3. Still, a bargain if you can find it for 30 dollars. A good game, but its sequel, coming this year, should surpass it in every aspect. Replay Value: High, with online multiplayer, as well as more options for expansions to the game. Presentation: This game lacks in some basic features, and has a long loading time as well. ![]() If you own a PS3, download the demo to get a small taste of the fast paced action. Gameplay: The gameplay in this game is the best part. The music is good for racing, and the explosion sounds are also good. Graphics: Spectacular, and the physics in the game are also well done. Also one must note that the loading times are long for this title. However, it lacks some depth (with online updates this game gets better), and the lack of a quickplay option is also a problem. This game features excellent graphics, a loud soundtrack, and spectacular fun. Crashes are spectacular affairs, as they spray metal all over, oftentimes involve many vehicles, and even drivers go flying from the smaller vehicles. If you crash into other vehicles, parts will fly off, and along the way your vehicle will garner more dust and mud. Your boost is temporary, and if it is overloaded, your vehicle will explode. You race at high speeds utilizing an accelerator and a boost method. The races themselves are dramatic affairs. This game has several courses which are fun (and using different vehicles on them makes them unique as well), and some feature mud, others more dust, and all feature exciting races. There is also no dual screen multiplayer. Therein lies the first problem with the game. ![]() From dirtbikes and ATVs, through buggies, onto cars and trucks and really large trucks (and semi-trucks as well), there are plenty of options Each race is set up by a "Card." The more cards you defeat, the more races open up to you. You race several types of vehicles in this game. ![]() The game is set in the Desert at a made up festival. This game features nice graphics, fun gameplay, and competitive courses. Motorstorm is an exciting and fast paced off-road racing game exclusively for the Playstation 3.
