Really Good Racing Game

I have had alot of fun with this game and I am far from beating it. Plus there is plenty of DLC for it. I'll admit that COD4 leaves me little time for anything else, but when I need my racing fix, I reach for Motorstorm.

The online and offline gaming is great,and the offline is cool too.If you master the tracks and get used to the game,get cool grades and play with other good players on online.Master the game and get it all!

Amazing graphics and fun to play...until you reach level 3!

Here is what happens with this game: the first couple of days I thought it was excellent, the graphics were unbelievable and it was really fun to play. But then the issues begin. First, the tracks start repeating themselves way too much; the concept of the game is that the tracks have different paths you can take, and some work for some vehicles and not others. But the biggest issue with this game is how ridiculous gameplay gets when you reach level 3. While before this point, your opponents would try to make you crash, it was all within reason, and they were still behaving in a way geared towards winning the race. In Level 3, all your opponents will try to make you crash no matter what. I even saw that when I am in third, the racer that is in second will slow down until I get near and try to push me off the track. Absolutely ridiculous! It would have been much better if in order to increase the difficulty they had used trickier tracks, but it seems that this was too much work!

Another problem with this game is that you cannot race against a friend, unless you do it online. I believe that getting a split screen for two players could not have been all that difficult, so I am not sure what they were thinking. On the plus side, the online play is fun though and since the game was bundled with the PS3, there are a lot of opponents online ready to battle. As I mentioned, the graphics are outstanding, and it is fun to see the crashes, with people flying through the air. The fact that the vehicle retains the damage until you destroy it is another big plus. As to gameplay, the way in which the different vehicles react to the commands is very realistic. This provides for a lot of entertainment, since you will have to get proficient at handling bikes, ATVs, buggies, rally cars, mud pluggers, racing trucks and rig trucks. Also, the fact that you will need to figure out which route to take with each of these, adds an element of fun to the action.

I am confident that we will see a MotorStorm 2 game in the near future, and I hope that it addresses the issues that made the first version only an OK game for me, since the potential is definitely there.

Not Great

I got this game with my console.

Let me say this, the game is good compared to last-gen sytem racing games. Unfortunately, the game is as limited as last-gen systems. There are about 8 tracks of formula racing that are marginally more complex than a super nintendo course. Of course, the graphics are far greater than a 16-bit system, but the game is incredibly limited.

If you did not get this game in your system package, I would not reccomend it. I have played it about 10 hours in the past 2 months I have owned my ps3. I purchased the new burnout game and it dwarfs all aspects of this mud track catastrophe. I feel bad for abandoning this game because there were a couple of fun vehicles, but the forced and timed racing on a very limited selection of strict and timed tracks makes the game very unenjoyable very quickly. This is a great introduction to next-gen graphics, but it is not a lasting title...

Awesome Game

My "Title" for this review is correct in my opinion. I love the game play and on-line mode...stayed up for hours playing this game. I ordered the Dualshock 3 controller and makes game play that much better. If your looking for a new game then try this one out.

Plain Fun

I'm not really into racing games, actually I don't really like... But since this game came with the PS3 I bought some months ago, I have to admit I have played a lot. I really liked the game, The graphics are fantastic, the races are fun (it's something between and simulator and an arcade) and the game play is fantastic. The only con is that there are only 8 tracks (with several ways each, but only 8)and no multi-player off-line. Anyway, I think it's a worthy I try. I liked it.

Be aware: It's a really hard game, some casual players may get bored.

Fun & Dirty

Motor Storm is a really fun racing game....Will it stand up to the GT series games, maybe not, but, if you like mud/dirt track, and dune buggy type racing, it's a fun game!

Pro's:
It's fun knocking other racers off the track, the graphics are really good, overall gameplay is great, and easy to use the controller, high jumps, turbo -boost feature, dirt, mud on camera lens...etc etc

Con's:
As much fun as the game is (initially), I have a feeling it might get boring after a while...

Then again, some people really LOVE racing games, and might think otherwise...just my opinion! :)

Great graphics, but gets redundant.

Great graphics, but after a while all the tracks look the same and the vehicles get old.

Although I am an Xbox 360 owner I still whenever I can check out games on other platforms like I want to try Heavenly Sword and the new Ratchet and Clank. However, when I sat down to play this game I wasn't impressed by much. The graphics looked pretty but the gameplay didn't offer much even in it's destructive racing action. The racing grows tired quickly and I found myself getting bored by it's mediocre combat racing which feels more in vain of the mediocre Full Auto, instead of the intense and addicting action of games like Burnout and Flatout. Unless you just absolutely cannot wait for the new and exciting Burnout Paradise you may purchase this game, but seriously, just wait for Burnout instead.

One of the best racing games available for 1 player

I have never liked racing games but the beauty of Motorstorm sold me, plus the unbelievable physics in the game. The simple yet full of fun gameplay is addictive and the variety of vehicles makes racing the same tracks fun and not that monotonous. Online is great and 12 players at once is really fun. All of that said, if they had implemented the 2-8 player offline option it would've made this game even better. Still, this is probably the only racing game I'll get for the PS3.
