Motorstorm (PS3) > Reviews

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 ... 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 ... Read review

Advantages: Realistic Game Play, Amazing Graphics & Addictive Online Play
Disadvantages: Only Single Player Offline Play

I first played Motorstorm on the PS3 as a demo and enjoyed it so went out and bought the full version. Motorstorm gives you a range of interesting vehicles to race with on a muddy track. You have a choice of racing a motorcycle against large trucks to see which one gets defeated. The game play is amazing because of the wide range of vehicles available to you. Other games in this genre you will see will have small cars versus small cars or trucks versus ... Read review

Advantages: Frantic and insanely fun gameplay with extrmemely detailed textures
Disadvantages: No split-screen which is a massive let down. Limited game modes and race courses

Somewhere along the way of smashing trucks off cliffs and watching each individual piston and axis fly off your car's beautifully detailed chassis, you realize, this is the definition of the next generation of gaming. This game blows you away with its stunning backdrops, Monument Valley and other real dirt-racing hot spots in glorious HD. With frame-rates blowing over 60 fps without even breaking a sweat, this is the only game I have seen so far that ... Read review

Advantages: The graphics are amazing, the six-axis controller and the gamplay.
Disadvantages: The game is just not big enough!!!

First of all can I just say.....WOW. This games is really something special. Alot of the time I don't usually go for games that look like this. Cheap imitations and have no real life cars or bikes, but...that doesn't apply here. The opening video is 100,000,000% mind blowing. The graphics in this opening sequence are incredible. Its set in the Grand canyon....or at least I think it is, and all of a sudden out of no where this complete bunch of nutters ... Read review

Advantages: Variety of vehicles and tracks, pick up and play
Disadvantages: No offline multiplayer mode.

When my mate was buying his PS3, I was stood in Currys playing a driving game that I didn't know the name of. Found out a few days later that my mate had actually bought the game and we've lost many hours to it already. The game revolves around a motorsport festival in the rocky, muddy Monument Valley. You start with very few races open, but getting at least third will open the next race. Getting at least third in all the races of a ticket, and ... Read review

Advantages: Graphics, sound, playability
Disadvantages: Only single player offline

Well this was the first game I played on the PS3 and it didn't dissappoint. The graphics are amazing and really detailed. You get an amazing array of vehicles to choose from, from motor bikes all the way up to big rigs. Lightweight vehicles like bikes, cars or buggies do their best when they are raced on higher tracks away from mud. Bigger vehicles like trucks are best raced in the mud on lower levels where's there's more room. Online game ... Read review

GENIOUS! This has to be THE most insane game ever to come into existance, this high speed, off road, hardcore racer was a release title to the PS3 and took advantage of all of the PS3's features and system capabilities. With a choice of loads of different vehicles from bikes to rally cars to big rigs there is something there for everyone, whether you like smashing the living daylights out of everything on the track while getting down and dirty ...

...realism and its hardcore carnage, motorstorm is a must have for any PS3 enthusiast. The game is about off road racing in many vehicles such as motor cross bikes, big rigs, buggys, quad bikes and off road trucks. This game is compatible with the motion feature of the ps3 controller to give it more realism also better on a HD tv. Tear your way through thick mud and watch it splatter across the screen and if your going to slow hold down X and watch ... Read review

Advantages: graphics, music, physics, online play
Disadvantages: slow loading times, no offline 2-player at the moment

Motorstorm is the second Playstation 3 Game that I bought, and it was also a very good buy, such good fun to go racing around in a wide variety of vehicles, on a wide variety of long courses. The general gameplay is pretty standard, race and win.. but it's so much fun as there isn't one direct route on the course.. there about about 8 different tracks on each course all merging at different points, and all suitable for different vehicle types. Once ... Read review
