GameSpy writes: "We've covered MotorStorm: Pacific Rift a number of times this year, the first at the pre-E3 show that Sony put on in Los Angeles and most recently Games Convention in Leipzig. Each time we've been teased by a handful of tracks and the promise of getting our hands on the online multiplayer portion of the game. The other day we received two Blu-ray ROMs in the mail for preview purposes, and while they feature the same three levels, we enjoyed the opportunity to actually spend more than 15 minutes with the game sans the noise and stress of a big convention atmosphere.
This is a sequel that's trying to improve on its predecessor in pretty much every way. The first thing to note is that the new Pacific island setting is much more grandiose in terms of racing paths and visuals than the mud-splattered courses found in the original game. Thick jungles turn into huge mountains and then drop down onto beachfront stretches. The varied environments really make you sit up and take notice of your surroundings."
Spiffy:
+Solid racing engine
+Creative environments
+Promising sequel
Iffy:
-Waiting to play online
-Some framerate issues
-Steep learning curve
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.
i have to try the demo first but if it is good as i think it is
