MotorStorm

First off the game looks, feels, and appears amazing. Best graphics and handling of a racing game i've seen. However it gets boring real quick. There are very few tracks and you just keep doing them over and over and the only thing that changes is the type of vehicle you drive and the difficulty. And the few tracks that there are, aren't even that fun to begin with. I'm only on level two, and I'm already bored.

Get this game if you like cheap thrills, but if you're looking for substance and re-playability, this game sucks.

Take a lesson from Off road fury 4, they had a ton of great tracks. You could upgrade your vehicle, buy new vehicles, and there was even a story mode. This game gives you no incentive to keep playing.

I have bought about a dozen titles now and this is my least favorite. My kids also played it for about 3 days, got bored with it, and havent played it since. Here are the issues:

1. Needs offline multiplayer. I want to race my kids. They want to race me and eachother. We arent buying a ps3 for each member of the family. The box said multiplayer. GIMME MUPLTIPLAYER ACTION with people i know.

2. The game is kind of repetitive.

3. The game is difficult, you will play a long time to win a single race and be able to advance to the next race. Takes longer than your interest will allow.

DONT BUY THIS GAME UNTIL OFFLINE MULTIPLAYER IS AVAILABLE. Then it may be worthwhile, otherwise too many better titles out there.

I can't beilive seeing these negative reviews, this game is amazing! the graphics are nearly true to life, and the gameplay is superb, don't beilive the negative reviews I challenge you to see for yourself this game is amzing.

MotorStorm is simply put a tour de force of off-road racing.

Everything in this game is 'next-generation'; from the gritty car models to the beautifully rendered vistas, to the online multiplayer races.

MotorStorm features a slew of different vehicles each with their own handling characteristics and advantages and disadvantages. You'll race as a big rig barreling through mud and competition alike or as an ATV carefully maneuvering in between obstacles, or how about as a rally car blasting along at high speed, or even a motorcycle where it's necessary to avoid other vehicles and mud and instead sticking to cliff ledges and jumps. The unique aspect to MotorStorm is that it mixes all of these elements together and it works. The game is challenging but rewarding. You'll learn different terrain features of tracks and learn where to use those features to the advantage of the vehicle you are using.

Mud, cliffs, and jumps are all important features in this game. Lightweight vehicles are fast but fragile and don't perform well in mud. Heavy vehicles are slow and more difficult to maneuver but can slam through the lighter vehicles and breeze through muddy obstacles.

The graphics are breath taking and will make you gasp on when you are on the cusp of going over the edge crashing down to a valley bellow. The tracks feature deforming terrain that will become more and more challenging to traverse as you race. Tracks will also increase in challenge featuring everything from sheer cliffs to jumps and fast straightaways.

MotorStorm also features one of the best soundtracks I have heard for a racing game. Featuring bands like Glucifer, Wolfmother and Queens of the Stone Age, the music fits the game perfectly and ramps up as the racing gets extreme.

Online play features a thriving community even after being on the market for so long. Frequent events and online racing leagues keep MotorStorm alive. The Sony Playstation Network also features several track and vehicle packs available for download that extend the single player experience.

A must buy for the race fan!

MotorStorm is the best PS3 game by far so far and one of the best in general overall on any console. I own only two PS3 games (I bought my PS3 more for Blu Ray movies and own a 360 for gaming) and MotorStorm is the only PS3 game that I absolutly love, love, love! I've always been an Xbox fanboy but I gotta admit that went it came to racing games Sony's Gand Tourismo racing games always took the cake and now with MotorStorm it took the cake, scarfed it down and didn't get fat from eating it. I now find all other racing games boring and why wouldn't I. Even though the car models and racing experience are ultra reallistic in Grand Tourismo they're not realistic enough to include dectruction in them. And how can you compare racing on regular urban streets to driving on insane, rough and tumble desert terrain like, mesas, canyon valleys and such where you can jump and sour through the air and onto other vehicles. Its true, there are only about 7 to 8 orginal race tracks in the whole game and the rest are raced backwards and or with limite vehicles. But man, these race tracks are entertaining as hell! The graphics in the game are also amazing, I've never seen dust in motion done so well and have crashed many times admiring that and other things while blazing through many races. The vehicles fall apart with every contact, with debris flying all over the place, I always get a thrill to see a car land right in front of me and have to swerve around it, just like in the best action movies. This game is like a vritual action racing movie. The soundtrack is also killer and I usually turn down the music volume on most games but not on this one. Yes, things get harder as you go, Im currently playing Level 4 races but for some reason I don't mind their difficulty, I still get a sky high thrill everytime I come in first, second and even third place. In fact, with all of the great 360 games currnelty out right now, MotorStorm is my vice of choice almost every time.
