PlayStation has had some hugely impressive racing franchises over the years and Pacific Rift shows that MotorStorm is on its way to join the greats. VideoGamer is still not completely sold on what they believe is an overly harsh handling model that frequently restricts the amount of fun the average gamer can have, but it's not an insurmountable problem. Once you're in the groove you'll find some incredible tracks to scream around at high speed and the online play should provide plenty of longevity. Some might see Pacific Rift as a safe follow-up, but with a brand new location, more tracks and more features, it's more or less exactly what fans wanted.
Pros:
* Intense racing
* Superb visuals
* Improved online functionality
Cons:
* Feels like a fairly safe 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.
This is what the game deserves for being basically what MS1 should have been. You could tell it was going to be the same when they were trying oh so hard to hype up the fact they'd added a monster truck. A great fun racing game just like its predecessor.
I also feel the same way about scores for other rehashed sequels. They don't seem to get the same treatment, though, for some reason - how different is PES this year compared to last? Madden? You get my point.
Agree and bubble. The only thing that piss me is gears2 will be praysed like the second coming and for motorstorm and for motorstorm and others is different. Shows how bad are the game journalism today
Good score.
I expected this game to be around the 80 range. If they make a Motorstorm 3, it'll be even more badass.
This is what Motorstorm 1 should have been. So imagine if this was Motorstorm 1, would you be satisfied with *this* game? Same with Gears 2. The few extra feats don't make it a true sequel, just an upgrade.
Motorstorm 2 and Gears 2 should be called Motorstorm 1.5 and Gears 1.5 respectively. If you disagree, you are in denial. I am still getting them, but I'm not sure if they'll be day one. Some devs should learn from insomniac: If you're doing a sequel, don't let it be just more of the same but a bit of extra features. Rather, revamp the game completely.
ok mods y did u put me in the opean zone... (-_-)
