Customer Reviews of MotorStorm

Highly recommended
If you own a PS3, buy this game if for no other reason than to show off the graphics. I showed this game to a friend who had never seen a PS3 before. His reaction was priceless. It's not just a pretty face, though. I love the premise of Motorstorm. You tear around Monument Valley in just about any off-road vehicle you can think of. I would've liked to have seen more tracks (the biggest complaint everyone has about Motorstorm) but the ones that are there are great and (for the most part) follow multiple paths. The game is tough (it is way too easy to explode), but the trick to completing it is finding the fastest line and race it every time (no matter what vehicle you're in). I was really disappointed when I completed Motorstorm, however. The credits roll and then... nothing. No bonus vehicle, no extra races. I know it's a 1st generation PS3 game, but c'mon, you gotta give me something. I'm giving this game 5 stars just because it's an absolute blast to play. I haven't had this much fun with a game in a long time. Some of the races are absolute chaos- you never know what you're going to see. Your opponents will run into each other, go flying off cliffs, and explode in high fashion. It's never scripted or staged, either. The AI in this game races like it wants to win. Online is tough, the gamers will run the fastest line and you'll never catch them. It's frustrating to know that you have no chance of winning 3 seconds into a race. Overall, it's a beautiful, challenging and slighty flawed game. I had a smile on my face the entire time.

100 percent fun.
Excellent gameplay and graphics. There's a decent variety of vehicles, however, they do lack the ability to customize. As others have pointed out, a big flaw is the number of tracks. They are well done, with each one providing a different set of challenges, but there are only eight of them. The other big problem is a exploit that lets you use boost constantly without overheating your engine. This is really a problem in the online game (which is otherwise excellent, imho), giving a big edge to those who know about the exploit.

Online Multiplayer is Incredible
This a deep offroad racing game with eight extremely well created courses that test the skills any racer. While many people complain about the number of courses available, each course is expertly designed and allow for multiple ways to race through a lap. It is rare to go through a course exactly the same time in a race. <

>Visually, this game is stunning. Running at full 720p, the cars, and the environment especially, look incredibly realistic. In fact, the courses change every lap because of different layers of ground that are churned up. For instance, the first lap you may be driving in compacted dirt while the last lap you're driving in deep mud. <

>The game iteself, however, is very bare bones. There are only two options when you want to race: a campaign mode which is basically the eight courses strung together with different restrictions on vehicles, and online. The campaign mode quickly becomes frustatingly difficult, but the online mode always delivers. Online, you can race on any course, with any vehicle, any time of day (in the game, or literally). It is just pure fun racing against up to 11 other people around the country. There are a few minor problems with the online mode. However, those should be fixed in a new free downloadable patch slated to release sometime in the summer. There is no splitscreen racing mode, though, so you can't play against your buddies you invited over (what a bummer). <

>If you own a PS3, this a must have if you have even the slightest interest in racing games. The few but great courses and stellar online mode more than make up for the limited options.
