NZGamer writes: "I always found that the first Motorstorm was like a wine that needed time to breathe before consumption. At first, I thought it was a slow, bumbling racer with all the subtlety, tact, and finesse of a pro-wrestler at a poetry recital. Its presentation seemed like some weird cross of Burning Man with a monster truck demolition derby that was ecliptic in its appeal. Pendulum and Slipknot in the same game?
However, the more I played the more I discovered an intelligent racer underneath the brutish exterior – the Dolph Lundgren of video games, if you will. It required sophistication and patience, demanding far more input from a player than peeling round corners at speed with a single button being held down. (Ridge Racer, as much as I love you, I'm looking at you.) Coming first required skill, and it was genuinely rewarding. Admittedly, I never finished it – although this was not because I was bored but because it was bloody hard."
The Good:
-The same intelligent racer with a brutish charm
The Bad:
-Still seems a bit indecisive in its target audience
The Ugly:
-Driving your truck off a cliff thinking it was a shortcut
Digital Foundry : Evolution Studios' Motorstorm is one of the first, finest and most fondly remembered of launch titles for PlayStation 3. It's a release designed to answer the question posed by each new console generation: what makes a game 'next-gen'? With its robust physics engine and massive tracks, Motorstorm serves up a bold affirmative answer to this question, delivering an experience that could never have existed on prior console hardware. At the same time, the path to release was fraught with challenges that almost serve as a microcosm of the PlayStation 3 release situation itself. It was a success, however, with a trilogy of PS3 releases, plus PSP, Vita and even PS2 off-shoots.
After Driveclub and Onrush, the dev team will now contribute to and assist with the development of the upcoming NFS.
Never really got into it myself I remember getting it with ps3 and being a bit underwhelmed I preferred the RC version they did for vita 🙌🏻🤣

Poor Heavy Rain lol that game was and is a pile. Emulation sounds cool though - Res. Evil 3 and Directors Cut all the way.
So games run at 10 fps and graphical glitches not seen since pcsx2 in 2003,.. I will get there someday.
This is just another game which shows that the console of 2008 is PS3
wow, they're still saying Pacific RIM instead of RIFT?
rim "!" any way the game will be a fun racer, the last one was sweet but it was missing split screen but now that is included and the graphics will obviously be sweet its safe to say this is another hit and the motorstorm franchies has just started. i will not be suprised if it ends up an AAA title becaue a game like motorstorm is a lovely car racing game that causal gamers can pick up and play with out any control problems.
Perfect description. People who didn't like Motorstorm didn't really try it. This reviewer described M1 very well, so if he is happy with Motorstorm 2, then I know I will be happy.
I'm not even sure yet if I will buy Resistance 2 (ok, I'm not a huge shooter fan), for sure enough, Motorstorm 2 is a day one purchase for me. And yes, I may even take a few day off to enjoy it, which, for me, says a lot.
Indecisive on it's target audience, huh? Yeah, 3.5 million users of the 1st might be in trouble, and in turn sony. This game won't sell.
