The original Motorstorm is one of the best games I had played for the PS3, so I had no hesitation in buying Pacific Rift. But, I didn't immediately start playing it, I had it for around 3 months before I first played it and from then on I was hooked.

The main change that has been made is the introduction of new types of tracks. Air, Fire, Water and Earth. The Air zone has lots of big jumps and is probably my afvourite. The Fire zone is surrounded in molten lava ad makes the boost heat up a lot quick, with the Water zone doing the opposite - cooling down your booster. And finally the Earth zone which has very few jumps. I didn't think these new "Zones" made much of a difference to the game.

The other main change is that the game has moved away form every track being full of dull grey, brownish colours. As the front cover shows there are now colourful jungle areas to race through.

The graphics in the game are basically the same and there's nothing wrong with that in my opinion because they are some of the best I've seen for the PS3.

For me the best thing about the game is the longetivity. You can play through your career and unlock new tracks and vehicles, but once you have done this you can move onto a much more difficult challenge (career mode is quite easy). One of the Trophies in the game is for beating the developers time on every track with every vehicle (about 140 races), which will take a considerable amount of time if you're not a god at the game.

All in all this is an excellent game, which has stuck to the moto "if it isn't broken, don't fix it". Well worth buying if you liked the first edition and can be bought for around £20 - £25 these days. Additional content can't also be bought from the PlayStation Store.

9/10
