What's there is great. It's unfortunate that there isn't more of it

User Rating: 8.6 | MotorStorm PS3

Gameplay: Motorstorm is a pseudo-realistic racing game. This means that while each vehicle (among 7 different classes) handles differently and is based in physics, the game isn't as strict as a game like Gran Turismo. Mud does conform to how vehicles and such run over it as well, and this also affects how later vehicles drive over it. Basically the game was designed around fun, and it pretty much succeeds at that. You won't find many racing games as fun as Motorstorm.

Graphics: As of the release of the game, Motorstorm is the best looking game on the PS3. The tracks are beautiful, and the mud looks...well, as good as mud can look. The only complain I really have would be the grass, it's 2D. I also wish the shrubbery and such would actually react to vehicles by bending and such. However, a lot of the environment is destructible

Sound: The vehicles all sound how they should, and the soundtrack is pretty decent . No really complaints here

Value: Here's the only true issue with the game. Not enough of it. There are currently only two modes. Play and online. Eventually more content will be added, when it does, change this review to a 9. As it stands, there are only 8 tracks. Mind you, these are 8 fantastic tracks with multiple routes. But they are still only 8 tracks. Also, the game doesn't have offline multiplayer. If they add that in, shoot, give this game a 10.

All in all, if you like racing games, especially those like Burnout, you will like this game. However, you have to know what you are getting into first. If you don't have online, I would recommend you look elsewhere until this game is cheaper.
