I got the demo with Qore a while ago and I give it 2 thumbs down with an additional 8 fingers. I enjoyed the first one. The demo gave me a bad impression of this game.

Most people liked the first one. And the sequel fixes most of the issues the first one had. So....that's why people are hyping it.

Well I have played it for a bit and heres what I have to say: Overall, it doesn't feel like ALOT has changed to the actual gameplay, other than the fact that the racing trucks now feel alot more difficult to use, whereas the bikes feel alot easier to use. Still challenging as hell, which I am glad of. The graphics seem to be better than the first when your actually driving, but when you get a few shots of the vechile before you start the race the ground textures look pretty ugly, which begs the question why did they show you the ugly ground from several different views.

It's a definite buy for me as a big Motorstorm fan. Can't wait for my brother to get home so I can try out the splitscreen :D

I got the demo by invitation a few weeks back. Let's just say i wasn't exactly blown away. Still, it looks great and i will definitely get this game.

Motorstorm online is crazy and well worth buying the game for.

Not in the demo, but it's confirmed in the final game. Why, I don't know, the music is excellent.

The demo is the old build which Qore subscribers got a couple months ago, regardless the game is still really fun. It feels very similar to Motorstorm 1, but Motorstorm 1 was already a solid racer which was missing features and thankfully those missing features are in M2. Overall a fun demo.

I too liked how the first one felt and played but I'm also not sure about Motorstorm 2. The cars don't feel as good and I'm not too impressed with the level that was available. That being said, supposedly newer videos of Motorstorm 2 look better than the demo so perhaps there have been improvments? I hope for their sake they can make the game feel more like motorstorm 1 because the only thing that the first one was really missing was features like two player for example.

Overall great

  • difficulty was tough at first , have to learn the track because there are plenty of hazards - par for the course with Motorstorm. Still pretty challenging one you know all the routes and dangers , you have to play well to finish 1st , and that is a rewarding feeling.
  • motorcyle handing is a lot better than the first
  • I enjoy playing this one in the first person view/or closer with the bike more - it controls really well this way and plays really fast and feels more immersive. I tried to play the first one like this , but liked the other view more.
  • Monster Trucks - thought they were gimmicky when they were first announced , but I like them. They add a new dimesion to the gameplay.
  • seems like a short track and races are over far to quick with just 2 laps (give me 3-laps!) , but it is a well-designed track because of the multiple paths. Those guys know how to make fantastic tracks.
  • graphics are good

I would like to own the game if I could based on the demo and what I know about the game.

So is this in the same graphical level as their Qore demo or is it more like the review "real game" demo?

The review demo has everything improved, meanwhile the Qore demo was more like pre-alpha demo.

Krigon

It's the press build.

Also I played the demo. The change in scenery is nice, but it still doesn't change my view on this game. Frankly it looks "ok" but I won't bother buying it likely. Graphics are nice, but unless they improve a bit more, I didn't feel the graphics on the demo level were that good. The foilage was pretty ... flat. The ground textures in some areas (this is before you race, before pressing X) looked pretty muddy in some places and low res textures in a few others. The cars are nicely detailed though. Also lack of AA is pretty apparent...

I HOPE thats not the final build. i was really unimpressed by the graphics as i was by the original motorstorm. while driving the monster truck i could help but notice that it didnt kick up any (hardly) kind of debris from the tires. monster truck was a thousand+ horse power and huge tires should be able to kick up A LOT of debris dirt and mud. it dont know. maybe its because the first one was in the desert and this is on a tropical island. other than that it was really fun to play with my brother on splitscreen.

it looks like the qore build. when you go off the huge jump you anc see the shadow over the path that curves to the right near the cliff in the press bulid. the qore build doesnt have that.

it will look better...its an older build. Keep in mindthat these guys obviously went for gameplay over graphics, meaning they rather widen the scope of the eniroments had more foliage and overall massive draw distance, to keep the player immersive and just make it pure fun. Otherwise they could have toned that all down and added more detail, but it would suck.

the graphics still look better than the first and it plays better too..can't wait for the final game.

I was extremely unimpressed with the demo. The graphics and the gameplay were underwhelming.
