...but my other half does and he doesn't get a look in with this game. I do love driving in real life but put me behind a wheel on screen and I am just vicious, well you have to be in this game no need to pussy foot around put your foot down and go. ~Game~ The object of the game is to win obviously and you can do this by any means possible. Shunt them out of the way or push them off a cliff (my favourite) either way there are no limits. You can cause ... Read review

...Gameplay The gameplay on Motorstorm is very solid! Everything feels just like it should do! And all the different cars are brilliantly varied in how each one feels! There are six different types of vehicles you can choose to drive. You can race Bikes, Buggies, Big Rigs, Mud Pluggers, Rally Cars and ATV's. Each one has advantages and disadvantages, and you should choose which vehicle to use depending on which type of track you are racing on. Bikes- ...

Advantages: Amazing graphics, simple gameplay and wide range of vehicles.
Disadvantages: Can be frustrating, not many tracks.

...PS3, most people remarked that Motorstorm was the most eyecatching title. The free roaming environments, amazing graphics and complete destroyabilty of much of the environment had me imagining a next-gen lovechild of Destruction Derby and Burnout. Motorstorm is based around a desert festival which celebrates all things rock and roll and petrol-driven. All the tracks are in the desert, but they can happen during any time of the day or night, and ...
...bouncing along jagged cliff edges. The premise is simple enough - pick a vehicle, race it, and finish in the top 3 to move onto the next race. The first thing to notice and like is the wide range of vehicles at your disposal. There are 7 categories - bikes, ATVs, mud pluggers, buggies, rally cars, trucks and big rigs. The smaller vehicles are quick and agile, but remarkably flimsy. However, you can punch out anybody else you pass on an ATV or bike. ... Read review

Advantages: Exciting, lots of routes per course, contrasting vehicle types
Disadvantages: Difficulty, no split-screen, night stages

...tackle these courses which sets Motorstorm out from the crowd. There are 7 main vehicle types; dirt bikes, ATVs, Buggies, rally cars, racing trucks, mud-pluggers and big rigs, each with their own specific attributes. It's these attributes which determine the best route to take through each of the courses. Bikes love tight short-cuts, ramps and dusty tracks, but are vulnerable to being knocked over by the bigger vehicles and hate mud. On the other ...
...of the pack. Graphically, Motorstorm is impressive. Fully deformable mud means that every lap has a different appearance and feel as all of the 15 vehicles on the track eat away at the surface. The vehicles are highly detailed, getting battered and splattered throughout each race while impressive crash physics which send body panels, wheels and drivers into the air. Motorstorm is loud. From the crashes and slams on the course to the impressive ... Read review

Advantages: A Great Choice of Vehicles, Online Play
Disadvantages: No Replay Mode, Load Times Slow

Motorstorm is one of the flagship games that Sony were counting on when the Playstation 3 launched in late March, but now that we have it and have played it, what do we think? Does it live up to all the hype and are the graphics as good as they were made out to be? One of the most spectacular things about Motorstorm are the crashes, it seems to me that the developer has studied hours of footage of car's crashing and exploding such is the detail ...
...mode is based around The Motorstorm Festival, each event (which are called tickets) is spread across four difficulty levels with each one having up to four races, only three are available to begin with though, which means that you will have to unlock the rest by finishing in the top three to earn respect points. Something that makes Motorstorm stand out from the crowd is the amount of vehicles that there are to choose from with a choice of Bikes, ... Read review
