fun to watch for a while, but you get to learn how shallow this game really is
User Rating: 5.5 | MotorStorm PS3
Got this with the PS3, never had anything else to play at the moment so naturally I pop this in to check out the system's capabilities. Surely it has demonstrated to me the power that the Playstation 3 has and this has really captured me when just looking at it on my HDTV. But problem is it doesnt go much beyond that. The racing is good, but in no way exciting. It just feels like you're racing thru mud and jumping ramps to see yourself crash by accident at some point. The crashes are nice to see, Burnout-esque, but only happens when you yourself crash. You cant even force someone into a wall or anything to eliminate competition which I think would have me and many others playing this game a lot longer. I try getting online but I have to download an update which never seems to get to me before it disconnects me from the server.. I've given up on trying to get online because I dont think it has anything more to offer anyway than the same ol' race.
Bottom line.. Unless you're a motor-head or have an insatiable lust for great graphics and technical design then dont spend more than $20-30 on this. By the third hour into this you've seen and done everything there is to do except watch a crash from another dimension.
