User Rating: 8 | MotorStorm PS3
Motorstorm has the workings of an almost perfect racing game. Great Graphics, Gamplay, Sound etc. and is honestly one of the best racing games I have ever played. The only thing that lets it down is the lack of anything else to do other than an arcade style mode. This particular mode is fun for awhile but you have nothing to gain other than harder races, new vehicles and tracks which is something you would expect out of a PSONE game which has worked but not satisfying enough in this gen. The lack of customization, some form of story mode or any other kind of extras is disappointing as I would have loved to customize my vehicle as there is such a wide variety to chose from, it would have been awesome. I didn't happen to notice much difference between vehicles within the same class other than looks as there were not even differing stats between the different vehicles.. As a result there is not much to encourage you to finish the game.. the true replay value could have been better if off-line multi player was available, its kind of frustrating but I understand due to the amount of the screen you have to pay attention to why they did not include it.. The online multi-player as it is fun but still not enough to save the game from itself. The game has bought allot to the genre and I think it sets itself up for a very promising sequel! Graphics - 10/10
- Unbelievable graphics.. all those legendary shades of brown do not disappoint in anyway, top marks to them in that respect =)
Gameplay - 9/10
- Fun exciting with new ideas that work extremely well and have set a new standard for similar games in the genre. I had no issues with the controls, even the motion sensing was fun!
Sound - 9/10
- Sound was great, nothing was out of place and it had a soundtrack which fitted the game perfectly.
Plot/Story/Modes 6/10
- Offline Arcade, Online Arcade...border-line satisfactory in that regard..
Value/Tilt - 8.5/10
- For what it is the value is great as it is alot of fun and not many other car games come close to the fun experienced whilst playing this game. The game does have online multi-player to go with it but unfortunately its not enough to keep you going forever as no offline multi-player or modes give you any urge to keep playing is frustrating. I still rate the value high due to the over-whelming fun you can have playing as the actual races are totally awesome and I have come across nothing that compares.
