D+PAD: As a follow up to a game loved and hated in equal measure, Pacific Rift is a substantial enough improvement to win over doubters of the original, even if some of the track design and vehicle balancing still isn't perfect.
Where Evolution have ultimately succeeded with Pacific Rift is in turning MotorStorm into a frantic, fast-paced and undeniably fun game: something that the original should have been all along.
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 game is getting pretty good reviews - despite being just what MS1 should have been, but then that's a good thing I guess. The split-screen has sold this game to me basically, it's what the 1st one really needed.
If they're working on MS3 I want to see a noticable improvement. Not just the devs trying really hard to hype up the fact they've added one new vehicle class. Whoopee.
The 1st Motorstorm was everything he just said it wasn't...
I like motorstorm2 for what it is, funny and silly arcade racing. Fair score
Yankins that is an honest opinion and a totally correct one at that.
Exactly same thing with me concering farcry 2.
Played for a couple of hours, started to bore me, just didn't feel involved. But it's alot better now.
I still wish they'd have used the orginal guy, and pushed the story more in my face.
On the subject of MS2.
At least this reviwer rewards the game with a decent score for having alot of content. Instead of knocking it because it should've been how the first was.
Other then that it's pretty good.
