MotorStorm (PS3)

Ok I really wanted to be the first to write this review but 2 piped me to the post so in that case let me be the first woman to write a review on it. If you like off road you will love this, it is like no other game I have to write a review on this game. I LOVE IT. If your like me and fancy a challenge but don't mind getting a bit frustrated because someone just pushed you out the way to pip you to the post then this is a game for you. It is a ...
...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 ...

Review of MotorStorm (PS3)

...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 ...

Review of MotorStorm (PS3)

...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- ...
...PS3! The online with Motorstorm is very enjoyable and easy, (well racing isn't so easy, because there really are some pros out there, but setting it up is easy)! You select Online from the main menu, you select which region you are from, and select if you agree to the terms and conditions. After this you are taken to the lobby. Here, you decide whether you want to create or join a game, select game settings, and if any of your buddies are online ...

Review of MotorStorm (PS3)

...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. ...

Review of MotorStorm (PS3)

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, ...

Review of MotorStorm (PS3)

A lot was made of Motorstorm in the run up to the release of the PS3. It looked incredible, especially for a laucnh title. It was one of the first games to use a fully fledged Havok physics system. It responded to your actions in clever, realistic ways. Almost inevitably, a lot of the weight of the PS3's initial success was placed on it's shoulders. A couple of years on, and a sequel has been released, while developers across the globe have made ...
...a word - absolutely. Motorstorm is an off-road racing game. It allows you to choose your vehicle from several types, ranging from nimble motorbikes and ATVs to middle of the range racing trucks to speedy rally cars to immense Big Rigs. You progress by winning events, or tickets, which get progressively harder. The premise is simple, but very well executed. The brutal off-road racing is innovative, fresh and never seems to get old. The game is perpetually ...

Review of MotorStorm (PS3)

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 ...
...vehicle. The graphics of Motorstorm are amazing and very detailed in the canyon. Details such as the shrubs along the path and the tiny details on the vehicles are all rendered in great detail. Also when you crash the pieces coming off your vehicle are shown in detail too. I particularly like the way the mud splatters on the vehicles and around you and also the amazing angles the game can be played in to give you a real adrenaline rush. The physics ...

Review of MotorStorm (PS3)

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 ...
...this game on a big HD TV is quite an experience. Dirt fills up the screen as you collect it from the cars in front of you. This is a nice little addition as it helps the game feel more realistic. With all the cars and vehicles you could possibly want this game has a huge choice of things to drive. To be honest you'll only ever use 3 or 4 as the slower vehicles just aren't any fun to drive. The limited number of modes and courses lets the game down ...

Review of MotorStorm (PS3)

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 ...
...appealed to me big time as I am a real speed freak. The game menus them selves are a bit bland and boring to say the least but that is all taken away once you have selected a race and a vehicle and burst into the action. The game play itself is simply magnificent. The graphics are like nothing I have ever seen before. I was a bit annoyed really because other reviews I read about this game were banging on saying that it is rubbish. Then again, I suppose ...

Review of MotorStorm (PS3)

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 ...
...the races of a ticket will also open new vehicles, new liveries, and new music. Each race has a class assigned to it, from which you need to choose a vehicle, but you are generally racing against all class of vehicles in each race. The classes are as follows: Bikes, ATVs, Buggys, Rally Cars, Mud Pluggers, Racing Trucks and Big Rigs. Each track has numerous routes that can be taken, some are quicker depending on the class of vehicle you are driving. ...

Review of MotorStorm (PS3)

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 play ...
...have encountered no lag, which is essential when racing on certain tracks where one move could see you going off the end of a cliff. The game offers only single player mode when played offline. The object is to win at any cost. This involves trying to drive an opponent off course and hopefully into a crash. The crash scenes are amazing, they are in slo-mo and this is were you see how good the PS3 is. The detail and physics of the crashes jaw-dropping. ...

Motorstorm is a new age racing game which basically creates a whole new genre whilst managing to bring amazing graphics to the the table in a brutal racer and for once creating a game that still feels like it is worthwhile. Playstation has always been know for great racing games and has always pushed the boundaries of imagination to the furthest limits and Motorstorm is the newest of these original style games. This game is set in the middle of ...
...and where super charged turbo boost is something that done right will win the race but done wrong will set your entire vehicle on fire. This game is an adreneline fest which throws new exciting challenges up and has an amazing yet brutal control system mixed with stunning graphics and terrific audio to make the entire experience a fast paced and stunning game that you can play over and over and never tire of. All in all one of the great games of ...

...fun, addictive racing game. Motorstorm is all about extreme off road racing and provides the gamer with a good variety of vehicles to race from dirt bikes through quads to modified trucks, the graphics are amazing - particularly the "cinematic effects" experienced when (not if!!!) you crash your vehicle. I love the fact that each track provides if with three or four different routes to complete a lap and how the track terrain each lap changes depending ...

Review of MotorStorm (PS3)

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 ...
...mix of the two you will find it in this game. Not only are the graphics amazing the choice of music is also perfect and it brings the game up to the next level in gaming experience. The online mode provides the replay factor and the downloadable content on the playstation store provides new vehicles, tracks and even events to race in for a low cost, a perfect game for racing game fans, a great game for anyone else! im still playing it after months ...

...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 ...
...too long as you may blow your engine and see the car blow up with amazing graphics. This game is extremely fun online, you can race people from all around the world in your very own home aslong as you have an ethernet connection in your computer, works best with broadband rather than dial up as it can be very slow. This game has many levels also upgrades can be downloaded from the internet so there is a wider selection of vehicles. ...
