Spot on. The game might have been difficult but that didn't make it bad, it took skill but alot of people just didn't understand that skill.

Skill pfft... Doesn't matter how much skill you have when the AI cheats to outrun you. You're better off just staying back until the final lap.

From what I've seen so far, it's pretty much Motorstorm 1 only in a tropical setting and with new vehicles. Other than that, what significant improvements have been made to the gameplay? And more importantly, have the issues from the first one been solved this time around?nervmeister

I loved the first motorstorm, but it did lack severely in content.

This time, there's double the tracks, more vehicles, and 4 player split screen, so you know they are aiming at its criticisms from its predecessor.

The core gameplay is more or less the same with minor additions, which is definitely not a bad thing. The first game got a 7.5 here, and an 8.9 at IGN... that's WITH the severe lack of content as well. It pretty much survived based on its gameplay.

I'm excited for it, that's for sure. I don't really think it's being hyped so much though. It only really gets brought up when someone brings up PURE.

Because the first one was good?

Also i have seen zero hype for this game.

what hype? and yeah, you just decribed what a SEQUAL should be.

IMO, motorstorm is plain fun and addictive. 2 looks even more fun. pretty simple.

I didn't like MS1 much but I know others did.

I don't see much hype for this game, but enjoy if it's what ya like.

why not get hyped... fans of the original game who loved it, are surely looking forward to MS2, so they have all the right to be hyped, seeing its got split-screen, more content and some visual upgrades...

i personally enjoyed MS1 and am keeping an eye on its sequel..

Improvements I can think off the top of my head:

1. Double the number of tracks

2. More vehicles

3. Four player offline split-screen

4. Much shorter loading times

5. Upgraded visuals

6. Ability to skip crash scenes

Oh yeah, also the first one was pretty damn good.
