User Rating: 9 | MotorStorm: Pacific Rift PS3
As a proud new owner of the PS3 I was disappointed initially by my first game Metal Gear Solid IV.

I found a good deal on Motorstorm and decided to give it a whirl. I remembered my love of Gran Tourismo 2 on the PS1 and thought hey what the heck!

I'm glad I picked this game. Its a breathe of fresh air! So many games these days are all these wacky gangsta highschool drama racing sims.

I want FUN racing. I don't want horrific actors and tweens. This game is fast, furious, funny, pretty, devastating, hard, and addictive.

Basically the premise is that you are in a big racing festival on an island with 4 unique types of terrain.

Air, Fire, Water, and another one that I think its probably Ice. Who knows. Anyways the levels are well designed. There are multiple paths that you can take depending on which type of vehicle you are driving. The racing is fast, the crashes are wonderful. And there are no stupid teen thugs souping up Honda's.

You can chose from a plethora of vehicle types including monster trucks, motorbikes, atv's, mud crawlers, big rigs, rally cars, etc...

There are tons and tons of races and levels.

The only downside is that I STINK online. The game is hard and the fact that I seemingly lag out through my wifi is annoying.

However, this game is tons of fun. highly recommended.
