Keep telling yourself this, buddy.

The fact that you registered another account just to post this... well.... get outside more maybe?

I can this forum can expect this kind of nonsense for the next 24 hours or so. Whatever.

wow its a review relax. thats the dumbest arguement i have ever heard for a game not getting AAA. the system is to powerful for this AAA game to be a AAA game. wow. look the game isnt that great get over it. its lacking certain things according to the review. but if u enjoy it good for u, why should u care what the review score was.

Oh come on.... they went out and made a game that is, while absolutely amazing to look at & may play great, is entirely lacking in gameplay options (just one single player mode and online multiplayer, only 8 tracks, no way to see a cars performance without just trial & comparison)...if it was just about any other racer than MotorStorm, it'd have gotten something lower. I'm amazed it even got something that high with such sparse options for anyone that gets that game. It's too bad too, cuz I was really looking forward to that game as one to get me other the edge for a PS3.

gears of war is an 8 hour game in single player, and it got 9.6.

Blu-Ray has nothing to do with the quality of the games or picture quality of games. Get over it. It's just a source to store the important data. I really question "I have no clue what I'm talking about, but I'll write something anyway." people opening such topics.

there will be many more tracks for motorstorm available for download later on, GS is really messed up for giving the Value of 6 for this game.

Gears of War has an endless array of online modes to play in versus. Sure, it's about a 10 hour game, but the game itself is that much fun. Playing through on Insane is something that needs to be experienced by everyone...not to mention you can *gasp* play coop on the same console (or through Xbox Live or System link). Gears of War is above and beyond Motorstorm in terms of replay value.

When the game in question doesn't live up to the hype, it tends to make the game look even worse. Overall this thread is mildly amusing damage control.

that's by far the most retarded theory i have heard all day. i say that not to flame, but to state a fact. with that said, motorstorm is definitely underrated; the sound deserved a spinal tap-esque 11. sound is better than all the rest.

Are they supposed to see the future? What tracks and modes may and may not come out? Nope they review what is shipped to stores. If this keeps up have fun getting half butt games only to wait for the complete version to come over download.

Goodness.  When will people learn that a flop isn't the end of the world?  TP was one of the most unexpected flops that I've ever seen (I really wanted to see a 9.9 or a 10 out of it), but the 8.8 didn't stop me from enjoying the game enough to call it the best 3D Zelda to date (which is also equivalent to "Best Game of All Time" to me).  GS isn't that great of a reviewing site in the first place, and secondly, who gives a hoot anyways?

Instead of just shouting that you should give reasons as well, i gave mine...

And why are people comparing with Gears? It's not even a racer and it only allows 8 players online.

Motorstorm is a much more demanding game, and it came to its right by using Blu-ray. Putting this game on the 360 would require a miracle, it's true.

You do realize its on a blu-ray disc, right? Do you know what that means in terms of space?

he's right, games graphics don't just upgrade to meet the standards of the 360 on their own. it takes artists tons of time and talent to make games look 360/crysis good.

Please explain how. Lets see by your logic, R:Fom should of 1) Been over a 10 2) Outscore any other FPS in the world Your logic is flawed, I can easily say the same exact thing. XBL sets the standards higher for games, Achievement points set the standards higher for games, Full motion sensing set the standards higher for games.. Jeez Motorstorm flopped, deal with it.

How did it flop when it set new unreachable standards for racing games on consoles? I think comparing to xbox360 isn't right either because the standards of the PS3 surpass those of the 360 by a large margin.

As for the split-screen whining, it's totally uncalled for.

Split-screen is unplayable on widescreen HDTVs.

Unless, of course, it's side by side splitcreen. Which is awesome. I like playing excite truck that way. You should try Motorstorm splitscreenwith your friends....oh wait...my bad

I'll just play them online, and play other people online too. Have fun playing with the same 3 friends over and over again.
