I'm a fan of racing games. Especially ones that do something different. Since the 90's, kids. I gave this two stars for graphics & premise. The game play sadly is horrible. About every ten seconds you will crash. You might not even know why. You hit a rock going not even boost speed and totaled your car.. again?! It's almost impossible not to crash even with practice. I stayed calm & played this for a while. Most games I get better at if I don't connect with it right away. This is on par with Mario Bros Lost Levels (Japanese Mario Bros 2) as far as difficulty. It's almost cruel because you WANT to like it so much! This is going to sit on my shelf until yard sale day.

Motorstorm is an exciting and fast paced off-road racing game exclusively for the Playstation 3. This game features nice graphics, fun gameplay, and competitive courses. The game is set in the Desert at a made up festival. You race several types of vehicles in this 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. Therein lies the first problem with the game. It lacks a quick play option. There is also no dual screen multiplayer. 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. The races themselves are dramatic affairs. You race at high speeds utilizing an accelerator and a boost method. Your boost is temporary, and if it is overloaded, your vehicle will explode. If you crash into other vehicles, parts will fly off, and along the way your vehicle will garner more dust and mud. Crashes are spectacular affairs, as they spray metal all over, oftentimes involve many vehicles, and even drivers go flying from the smaller vehicles. This game features excellent graphics, a loud soundtrack, and spectacular fun. However, it lacks some depth (with online updates this game gets better), and the lack of a quickplay option is also a problem. Also one must note that the loading times are long for this title. So grab popcorn while waiting to play. Graphics: Spectacular, and the physics in the game are also well done. Sound: A VERY loud game by default. The music is good for racing, and the explosion sounds are also good. Gameplay: The gameplay in this game is the best part. If you own a PS3, download the demo to get a small taste of the fast paced action. Presentation: This game lacks in some basic features, and has a long loading time as well. Replay Value: High, with online multiplayer, as well as more options for expansions to the game. Overall: A 4 out of 5 rating. A good game, but its sequel, coming this year, should surpass it in every aspect. Still, a bargain if you can find it for 30 dollars.Read full review
MotorStorm ships with the 80GB version of the PS3. 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. The premise of the game is a huge racing festival taking place in the desert of Monument Valley, AZ. Seven vehicle classes are available from motocross bikes to big rigs and multiple models and trims are available within each class. Races take place on eight different muddy, rocky, off-road tracks through canyons, over rock formations, and around various obstacles. 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. During 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. All of these effects, along with the surrounding terrain and views are beautifully rendered. Game physics are also very good. Controls are simple and quick to learn. Individual races last several minutes each, so there's not a large time commitment. Load times for choosing vehicles and starting races are a bit slow, but understandable given the graphical complexity. Online play is available, but I haven't experienced it yet to comment on it.Read full review
read more reviews and watch game videos @ http://blog.graduategames.com 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. 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. It's just a shame that all the tracks look so similar. There's actually not many tracks at all which further hampers what could be a fantastic game. It's a great start and a great showcase title for the PS3. It could be a franchise to contend with the next time around. 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. That would be a game to contend with! As it stands now. MotorStorm is a damn good game and a wise choice by Sony to package it with the 80GB PS3. Graphics: 9/10 - Fantastic but lacking level variety Gameplay: 9/10 - Vehicle diversity, and terrain strategy make this game visceral fun. Enemy AI is a little bit "let you catch up" or "catch up with you" Sound/Music: 8/10 - Music fits the tone, explosions and other vehicle engines all add to the atmosphere...sometimes it's all alittle much Lasting Appeal: 7/10 - The lack of tracks and track variety really hurts the game, but different vehicles and terrain adds to it. After awhile though, everything just is all too sandy and the incentive to unlock the harder mode of the same level you've played already just isn't there. Average: 82.50% Tilt: -3.50% Verdict: 79%Read full review
