Despite enjoying the original MotorStorm a lot, the demo that was initially released on the PSN for Pacific Rift back in October 2008 was extremely disappointing. It was a major step backwards in almost every respect; from the track design to the graphics to the handling of the vehicles, almost everything was worse in comparison to the original MotorStorm. The only noticeable improvements were the inclusion of split screen multiplayer and much shorter loading times, hardly worthy inclusions if they came at the expense of all that made the original so good. You've no doubt already seen the score I've given Pacific Rift, so what gives? The good news is that the demo, whilst almost certainly successful in achieving the rather dubious aim of holding back sales of Pacific Rift, is actually not representative of the final build. And what a relief it is to be able to say that. MotorStorm is back and it feels just like the original. Much bigger, and in many respects better, Pacific Rift is a truly worthy sequel."
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.
LUNATICS UNITE!!!!!! 8.7??? i'd give it a 9.2 lol , lets hope we get DLC soon
The demo to this game sucked bad. It actually put me off on buying the game day one. 2 months after release, I find it on sale and pick it up despite my initial feelings towards the demo. After playing the retail version, I regret not gettin it day one. I'm grateful I got it on sale but it's well worth the $60 regular price tag. Theres simply no comparison when it comes to off road racing!!
Is how every sequel should be, just better in almost every aspect. I really liked PR and hope some DLC comes soon. With Arctic Edge coming to PS2/PSP, I wonder what the next MotorStorm on PS3 will be like. Will it be snowy like AE or completely different?
Where the fck is the DLC for more tracks and vehicles ???
I want to see more crazy sh!T !
