Motorstorm offers beautiful some graphics and nice gameplay, but the value can't quite keep up.
The graphics of the game a very nice. Cars are especially nicely done and the tracks are spectacular. The crasher also look very impressive, and the game actually never has any framerate issues. But after you play it for awhile everything gets dull. The crashes are not really so breathtaking and you'd just want to skip them.
The game's AI is actually hard to describe: sometimes they seem to be ok, but later on you'll notice the ruthless rubber band. It's really damn annoying especially in only one of the tracks which is awkward. And that hardest race in't even close to the last one.
After you've played thru the game you've kinda seen it all, so the multiplayer gets boring really fast. I'm sure that if they would have made a 2-4 player split-screen multiplayer, the game would have had better value.
The good things of this game is that it works perfectly on the technical side, tho when playing online with some laggy guys their cars seem to crash to wall and stuff all over the time and that causes some serious trouble when the "unreal" laggy cars hit your way. But that rarely happens, so it's not a big deal.
Closing comments:
With fine adjustment the game could have been a real hit, but that really doesn't matter right now. Even with some value issues, Motorstorm is still worth playing or even bying for some cases.
