Lately I have been hooked on this game!! I just cant stop playing it, ive owned it since it came out but the last few days i have been playing like crazy and this is easily one of the best looking games that is out thus far! The physics, particle effects, movements of the cars when they sway back and forth is just so ultra realstic, no way the 360 could handle a game like this. People that havent played this game are going to flame me i know, but for those of you that actually own this game or have played it throughly on a HDTV know exactly what im talking about. I will agree with the reveiwers, the game is lacking in features but the gameplay, Graphics, multiplayer,  sound and control are amazing.

I like the game also, although I am not crazy about the sixaxis steering, so I turn it off. I did notice the 2 dimensional bushes and stuff. If you stop and look around they rotate with you ( it is easy on the motorcycle) WTF? But it is very fun! I don't see anything the 360 can't handle though.:?

It is fun, when you are alone playing. It is really annoying to have to swap turns when you have friends over though; their is a lot of back-seat driving.

You should play it instead of posting about it especially since it's online needs all the players it can get. Phil Harrison is probably staring at his Sony Bravia tv hoping you pop in to play with him.

they suppose to do a lot of updates and one of them has split screen. its obvious they pushed the game out without all the features cus they felt pressured, they shoulda just held it back till all the features were ready instead of releasing them slowly but surely.

Actually, that type of process can turn out to be cheaper for the company, and in the end help the company reduce losses on the gain and even gain a larger profit, compared to having spent the extra time and delaying the game.

yeah i get it but they had sony backing them so thats not much of a problem. but i think sony forced them to set a date and follow through and just told them to release the other stuff through PSN to help promote their network, win/ win i guess.

Motorstorm is amazing. Anyone who says graphics don't matter are a fool after this game. I get so sucked in to the action, I feel like I am really there, I have never had such immersion with any other game. I think only virtual reality could match the sense of immersion found in a game like Motorstorm. I just can't wait for the sequel, and don't kid yourselves you all know there will be one!

The Graphics are amazing, and the sound is pretty good. The game controls very well also. They could have added more variety to the tracks. Every track feels the same really. They should have added different locals other than the same desert setting. Perhaps they will release updates to solve this.

 There are a lot of people playing this online. Everytime I go online with it, it is packed with people. Not as packed as Resistance, but its not bad.

Yo I was in Wal-Mart and wanted to try this but the demo was frozen.  What up with that anyway it just looks like some motorcycle/car derby game.

I'm going to agree with the people in this thread that are critical of Motorstorm. When I played it, it was a fun game. But I was done after a race or two. It didn't hold my attention.

Lately I have been hooked on this game!! I just cant stop playing it, ive owned it since it came out but the last few days i have been playing like crazy and this is easily one of the best looking games that is out thus far! The physics, particle effects, movements of the cars when they sway back and forth is just so ultra realstic, no way the 360 could handle a game like this. People that havent played this game are going to flame me i know, but for those of you that actually own this game or have played it throughly on a HDTV know exactly what im talking about. I will agree with the reveiwers, the game is lacking in features but the gameplay, Graphics, multiplayer,  sound and control are amazing.BigBoss5777

Is the TC a Sony shill?  It'd be nice if he answered peoples' questions - mainly "what in this game makes you think the 360 couldn't handle it?"  What, the rotating 2-D bushes?  The 8 similar tracks?  The no split-screen racing?  Please, answer us and enlighten us, if you will...

I'm happy for you that you like the game so much, honestly though I think you took it too far with the virtual reality part. lol.

I just don't understand why the TC can't share his love for his system without having to throw rabbit punches at the 360, by now your knuckles should be raw, cause regardless of your hate for the 360 its not going down.

let us hope so. because they sold us half a game, and it got rightfully killed in the reviews because of it.

Well, I don't understand why he even bothered to post this thread.  I might as well go off and post a thread about how amazing COD2 looks and plays on my 360.  And while I'm at it, throw in some barbs at the PS3.  This is old.  Motorflop didn't get AAA.  7.9.  Folks may enjoy it, but it flopped here at GS.  This is one of the dumbest threads here on GS today.

Umm...I'm normally a pretty pro-Sony guy. But having played this game, it is WAYYYYY overhyped. Looks amazing? I can buy that. (Somewhat) Plays amazing? I was bored within two races. (Granted, I suck at this game. But boring is boring)

I appreciate your honest - really, I do.  I take it that you agree, then, with the GS review?

[QUOTE="asmallchild"][QUOTE="BigBoss5777"]Lately I have been hooked on this game!! I just cant stop playing it, ive owned it since it came out but the last few days i have been playing like crazy and this is easily one of the best looking games that is out thus far! The physics, particle effects, movements of the cars when they sway back and forth is just so ultra realstic, no way the 360 could handle a game like this. People that havent played this game are going to flame me i know, but for those of you that actually own this game or have played it throughly on a HDTV know exactly what im talking about. I will agree with the reveiwers, the game is lacking in features but the gameplay, Graphics, multiplayer, sound and control are amazing.REVENGEotSITH

Umm...I'm normally a pretty pro-Sony guy. But having played this game, it is WAYYYYY overhyped. Looks amazing? I can buy that. (Somewhat) Plays amazing? I was bored within two races. (Granted, I suck at this game. But boring is boring)

I appreciate your honest - really, I do. I take it that you agree, then, with the GS review?

Yes I do. It's an OK game. But nothing worth waving in the faces of Xbox360 fans as "Lookie here! It's better than what you've got!"
