I got this game with my PS3, and to be honest, I never gave it much of a chance, Resi just drew me in. I wanted to finish Motorstorm before I got skate. though and I did, took me 5 days of 2-4 hour plays. On the way, it was some of the best racing I've ever played. No speedometer or track display, just your position, lap, time and boost. The racing is fast and thrilling, the pleasure of knocking over a bike or ATV is just excellent. There are 6 groups of vehicles, bikes, ATVs, mudpluggers, racing trucks, big rigs and rally cars. They all have their strengths and weaknesses so it is fairly balanced out. The graphics are brilliant and the tracks (even though there isn't that many) have many routes for the different types of vehicles. One thing about this game though, YOU WILL GET FUSTRATED, but this means you'll try harder the next time. Enough of the single player, the best part of this is the online.
Online is amazingly fun. There's little lag and lots of races so you'll never get bored. Plus it's funny when you boost over the line just to beat the relaxed player in first. ;) The races are always different, many settings and getting your gloating index to 10 is a challenge. The balancing thing doesn't work as well online though, as everyone seems to go for rally cars (including myself) except in Mudpool.
Overall, this is a fun game with a excellent online system and lots of extras to buy. Worth investing in. :)
Short and simple...this game is beautiful and the racing is addictively fun. It captures the essence of out of control off-road racing to a tee. The game looks absolutely amazing to be honest. But who came up with the br... Read Full Review
