I will probably pick this game up when it hits $20 like I did with the first one. Not that the game is bad, but racing is usually not my thing, but for $20, MotorStorm was fun.

I was expecting an 8.6+ score from IGN, given the tone of their past previews for it. It even scored lower than the much-less-hyped "Pure" by Disney Studios, at 8.6.

This scored lower than the original on IGN I believe. Motorstorm was still pretty slow for me.

I dunno, pretty good score in my eyes. The PS3 continues to close the library gap.

It still appears of be an AA racing title, IGN UK has given it an 8.8 to prove it (they gave Motostorm 1 a 9.0).

Pretty nice I guess. Why in the world did this guy give MS1 8.9 and MS2 8.3? I predict 8.5 on GS.

They first one was hella fun! They gimped game modes and no splitscreen were the things that hurt it. The core gameplay was amazing.

Well, I enjoyed the MS2 demo more than Pure's. I haven't played either retail version yet. I most likely will buy MS2 and rent Pure then to really see.

I will stick with Wipeout HD. I just did not ike Motorstorm. Partly because the environments were so boring and mundane. I know that's improved in this one, and that is a plus. Yet the actual racing still wasn't that fun to me either.

I'll stick with the demos instead of wasting money on this.

I rather buy Wipeout HD.

Well I've played the demo and based on that, i feels pretty much like the original, only on a tropical island instead of in the middle of a desert.

Pure's gameplay was more exciting and fun to me. I guess I should wait until I play the retail version before I judge it so I'll just leave it at that.

They dont even mention screen grab feature and watch there be like a whole paragraph about gears 1.5 being able to.

Quite laughable imho.

don't know how people liked PURE, its so arcady and repetative, same old tricks and repeat, Motorstorm feels less limited and more of a actual racer, expecially pure were ATV's only.

to each there own.

You know when playing the demo for the first one at the stores, I though the game was great. Then I bought it and got bored the second day.

Exact same for me. If they had double the tracks and split screen multi, it would be in my top racers of all time.

I though this one would do better because of the split screen. Without being able to play the last one with my son was really upsetting.

I don't know. But I just don't like Motorstorm and the sequel plays just like it. I don't like the way the vehicles handle and the tracks aren't fun to race on. But that's just my opinion. To be honest, I like the setting for the sequel, but to me, the driving sucks and isn't fun at all.
