Due to the online experience being poorly implemented.

Read ign's preview:  http://ps3.ign.com/articles/765/765336p1.html

Don't get your hopes up too high.

Who cares? Will gamespots or any other game sites reviews actually stop you from getting this long awaited game? I mean half of the people on this forum talked about this game everydaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, so are you going to turn your back on this game if it gets an 8.0 or 8.5? I sure as heck wont.

You are probably right. It's a pretty bare bones racing game. I'm not saying it's a bad game or doesn't look great....it just doesn't have much depth.

     Ok, first they said they were playing on a Lan line now it's a UK Server Miles and Miles away... I actually think for it being a "UK server" What little lag they had it's great news.

Judging by the demo i'd think motorstorm would not get a 9+. However, I've read alot of interviews/previews that are closer to retail-build and they claim that the graphics, AI, and physics are alot better than in the demo. Let's just wait and see.

So if Motorstorm scores below a 9, what's that mean? Are they going to pull it from the shelves? Seriously...people need to stop focusing on some arbitrary number when it comes to games these days. Try it and decide for yourself.

so... they're the only one's worth reading because they give AAA ratings to the ps3 games of your choosing? Sure you may be a ps3 fanboy trolling the ps3 boards, but thats trolling none the less. Do you even read the reviews that disappoint you? You should try, most of them have valid points/OPINIONS.

As if an 8 is a terrible score. Some of my favorite games scored in the 8s. To name a few:

no depth?  i have to disagree with that.  yea its not a sim racing game and doesnt have multiple racing modes to play like other racing games, but its not lacking depth. 

as long as it doesnt get a 5-6 im getting this game...i could care less if it gets a 9+, which is possible, but 8+ is fine by me

It might not get over 9..........SHOCK HORROR. Does any one appreciate how good a game has to be to get over a nine. not one PS3 has got over 9 yet (corret me if im wrong) and yet you still  expect every game with an once of hype to get AAA...have some realistic expectations.

Why all the game score talk? A high score doesn't automatically make me buy a game, all it does is making me look at a game which usually wouldn't have catched my interest. The reviews are a whole lot less interesting to me than the in-game videos, yup give me the videos and I'll make up my own mind.

Getting our hopes up that GS or someone else will give it a high score, yea that's ridiculous, but thinking that this game is going to be a great little racer that which who are interested in will definitely buy, absolutely. The only things really hyped here are the visuals, everything else.. i mean truly how much can any one expect, people shouldn't get hyped up for anything cuzz that will usually send them back crashing to reality that practically no games are perfect and have a**load of fantastic content. MS= great lookin racer, nothing more, lets not try and make GT or Forza out of it, it's more like jetmoto, if anyone remembers that. To that however, if MS succeeds in doing what it is designed to be, a fast paced racer with good visuals, why shouldn't it get a high score. Why rate it for what it isn't and not for what it is?

The game honestly doesnt really look that insanely great to me, I completely agree with you TC. Everyone is wiggin out about this game because the better PS3 games arent comin out till later.  I mean how terrific can ANY racing game possibly be? Even with cutting edge graphics a racing game only has so much replay value.  Games like Halo, Vegas, and Resistance have a much greater replay value because the enemy can truly do different things online. In a racing game...He can drive just a wee bit faster? Turn a corner a tiny bit better? Don't get me wrong a like racing games like Burnout and PGR very much, but I'm just stating that I wouldnt imagine any racing game no matter how great to get above a 9.0.  The people with just PS3s need something so they can stay sane :D.

If anyone other than Jeff reviews it: 9.2
If Jeff reviews it: 8.1

I'd be willing to put money on that, +/- 0.2 pts.

Well now you are debating personal preference.... When what you were stating had nothing to do with that. If game doesn't have many options, or much customization to it, then it is in fact lacking depth. MS is just a straight forward racing game. There is nothing wrong with that, it looks to be a fun game, but it IS lacking depth. Multiple modes, and vehicle customization, different tracks, etc. are what makes up the depth of the game. MS doesn't have much in that regards.

If IGN gives it a lower score, below 9, does that mean that IGN is biased because many people believe it deserves a 9 or higher?

I don't know why people expect it to be AAA, I'm sure it'll be a great game and lots of fun online, but there aren't a lot of tracks, no split-screen and again, I've seen preview builds, and while they ARE preview builds, they took like 30 seconds to load a race. They must have the most amazing optimizing skills to lower them in such short time.
