Few games matched the success of the original Motorstorm when the Playstation 3 launched. The gaming public loved the high adrenaline racing thrills as well as the mass destruction and chaotic damage model. It wasn't without flaws however as the loading times tested the patience of even the most laid back gamers. With Motorstorm: Pacific Rift can developer Evolution Studios push the boundaries further?
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.
Motorstorm 2 is one of the most fun games Ive ever played in my life. The graphics, track design, and vehicle models top notch. The music is freakin sic, Machine Head and Slipknot are one of my favorite bands of all time, but then you got in game music if you prefer something else. Everything about this game is AAA, and most of all, its so much fun too play. I think this game would have gotten way better reviews if it was a 360 exclusive, but I dont care. Its everyone else's loss if they don't enjoy or buy the game. Im glad Sony is here to cater to me regardless if all these morons cant appreciate this game.
pacific rift is AMAZING, its better than motorstorm in almost every possible way , better graphics,more beautiful tracks,custom soundtracks, free play, garage, MUCH faster loading times, TOUGHER AI lol, ranked,custom and casual online games, splitscreen,splitscreen , did i mention splitscreen yet? lol, i was expecting a great game but evolution studios surpassed my expectations, the game is amazing, oh one more thing , LUNATICS UNITE!!!!!!!!!
Why worry, if you like it, buy it Im looking forward to Motorstorm 2 enjoyed the Demo
Also, to the guy on top who says "87? 100 and not happy :P i dont get most people on this site." The reason why I brought up what I said is because there are games out there that get highers scores then 87/100 and lack the quality and fun factor that this game has. If you weren't dumb you would also see that I said its people likes you that suffers the most because you miss out on games like Motorstorm 2.
Also, Just so you know, I was one of those people who hated part 1. This is a whole different game. The only racer that even comes close to being as fun as this game is the new Midnight Club. Everyone rated that game worse then the rest, I think the old Midnight clubs scored even higher, which I dont understand because MC:LA surpasses the old ones in every way. Same thing happend to Motorstorm. Everyone who reviewed part 1 and 2 said Pacific Rift was better then the first , yet gave it the same score or slightly higher. I just dont get it?
People say,, well the standards have changed. Games have got better since then,, Everything is different than a year ago. I gotta ask you though,, what game is everyone comparing these games too? I really cant think of one game that just totally set the bar so hight that Midnight Club and Motorstorm 2 had to be based on such a high scale? The only one that even comes to mind is Burnout Paradise. Yes that game is beautiful, and the cars handle nicely,, but what did it really bring to the table? No customization, nothing to do but wreck into each other online,, and lets not forget there wasn't even anyone in the cars to drive them. It wasn't until 4 months later they addes some new modes,, but all in all, its the same game. You people disgust me.
I think Motorstorm 3 will receive better reception if Evolution learns from their mistakes from this one
