It's kinda hard to tell as I'm not a racing fan. But I convinced the parents to buy a PS3 for me. It was kinda random. But I threw it out there and it worked. The main reason is because the man likes racing games. He's always wanted me to get one, but I am not fond of them. The reason I don't think he'll like motorstorm is because of the lack of offline mutliplayer. But seeing as I've played neither, which is better?

I'm kind of going for a Grand Turismo feel in terms of more variety in cars.

So would Ridge Racer 7 be a better bet?

Why don't you wait until you get your PS3 and then download both of the demos

I would recommend Ridge Racer 7.  It has so much more depth to it, and once you actually get good at it (it takes time) UFRA special event downloads will keep you busy.

Both are good games and I would recommend them both.  RR7 is really fun and challenging, and the car mods are fun to play with.  It is just more of an arcade style racer than say Gran Turismo.

I have Ridge Racer 7 and not Motorstorm, and I'm satisifed with Ridge Racer 7. If you play an hour a day, career mode will last you like 3-4 weeks, Motorstorm doesn't look that exciting by what I see in the demos, but IDK, one day I'll get the full version of it for sure.

I have been playing Ridge Racer on consoles since the PlayStation and I still love it to this day.  Sure Ridge Racer 6 wasn't all that great but 7 is fantastic.  Having said that I'm sure if you aren't a fan of Ridge Racers driving style you could easily hate the game.

I own Motor Storm too I just don't think it comes close to Ridge Racer though.

This is all imho so don't listen to me, try the demoes and make your own mind up. :)
