Just saw this looks pretty good, somethings in the article sound kind of sad not in the online play though

Pros... Graphics look better than ever, and have transferred from single player to Multiplayer well No Lag Frantic as ever in online Cons... Newbies will be lost because of no track description Can't see what type of vehicle others are choosing before a race Voice support is kind of choppy Stat Tracking is sort of barren The points of the acticle for those who don't want to read!

But Motor Storm is about diversity, a race never repeating it self. People can just ask in the lobby if they want to know. Anyway, everything about not racing is kept to a minimum.

Ah Kotaku you never seem to let me down you give a fair balanced impression say whats good and what still needs work. j/k I thought the article had some good points and I agree it would be nice to no what vehicles every ones picking. That would be pretty lame if everyone picked buggy's or rigs and you picked a motorbike. And I hope the voice chat improves their still some time to tweak a few things before it ships

Now Kotaku I will wait diligently for your next crazy rumor that bashes the PS3 in some way shape or form. Which I estimate to be around Thursday.

Now that i think about it, not knowing what your opponents are gonna choose is kinda good. Less people trying to choose the "right" vehicle for the race, maybe if they could add this an option: "Hide Vehicles List/Show Vehicle List" for the game creator :).

Yes, I agree there should be an option to show the list for those who want it. And from playing WRC I know they can clutter the screen with info, those games were filled with menues.

It is possible to mute people with headsets I hope? Can't stand the chatter when playing online.

A fair article from Kotaru? Somethings wrong here, can motorstorm possibly be THAT good.
