Motorstorm : Pacific Rift

Advantages: Graphics, Longevity
Disadvantages: Too Easy, Slightly Repetitive

...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...

Review of Motorstorm: Pacific Rift (PS3)

Nothing Pacific

Advantages: Cheaper than chips, easy to use and works well
Disadvantages: Not that reliable, not very attractive

...number of jug blenders, however there was a Tesco own brand for about £20, a Tesco value model for £9.78ish and then I saw the Pacific PB7001 for £9.28, I noticed on the price sign this item was 'discontinued'. At such a bargain price I would resist, when I went to Asda later the same week this same blender was selling off for £7.00 but what they hey. I went to Tesco at the weekend and this item is now selling off for £7.97. When I got the blender home I quickly unpacked it, there is nothing particularly interesting in the box. The blender is composed of a large jug with a capacity of nearly 2 litres, a lid with a feeding hole, a washable hole cover, a base unit with wired lead and fused plug and a special key which allows you to remove the blades. There is nothing to put together with this appliance simply fit the jug to the base unit...

Review of Pacific PB7001

A worthy sequel that first comes to mind in the console wars

Advantages: Good plot, graphics, polished gameplay
Disadvantages: None

...Gears of war 2 is the long awaited sequel to the massive game which helped give the xbox 360 some valuable points in the console war. Years later the sequel does the same where everything has been improved The story is very good by game standards as a professional writer has come on board just for its plot. It carries on from gears of war 1 but can be fully understood by an newbie as well. The gameplay has been polished in all areas and also features more enemies and variety than previous instalments The graphics and sound are top notch with great score kicking in the minute you try and take on a massive enemy. The level design is varied and detailed and one can clearly see bit of wall and ceiling come off after a firefight leaving the steel railings The single player has a good mix and never seems to dull and offers about 10-12 hours...

Motorstorm Pacific Rift The Truth

Advantages: Split screen, more colourful than 1st MS much more read review
Disadvantages: motorstorm 1 seemed more chaotic

... Motorstorm Pacific Rift The Truth Introduction Motorstorm is the second game of the motorstorm series and a lot of people were hoping that this would make them forget about motorstorm 1 and its lack of modes. I think this game has but it has got some things that I preferred in motorstorm 1. In this review ill show everything i know and played of motorstorm PC. Story There is no story to this game, just a series of races and events. The only thing is that the amount of races, there must be about 150 races each 2 laps long which is long when your crashing and dodging vehicles. Gameplay Gameplay is Motorstorm PC is very well down, with the L2 and R2 buttons as your accelerate and decelerate really makes you feel you?re pressing down on a pedal. the x button for boost is a much improved system with the game...

Review of Motorstorm: Pacific Rift (PS3)

Specific about Pacific

Advantages: excellent food, fantastic service, wonderful decor
Disadvantages: None, except the price

...I have visited many of Manchester’s Chinese restaurants, and I can assure you that Pacific is certainly in the top two – and it’s a close run thing between the Yang Sing and The Pacific for the top position… I really couldn’t choose between them. So let’s just say that both restaurants are excellent, and very well worth a visit. Pacific is a restaurant with a difference, though. It has two separate restaurants, each with a separate team of chefs: one called China, and one called Thailand, on the floor above China. I have only visited China, so far, but I do hope to sample the delights of Thailand before too long. Actually, Pacific is a restaurant with more than one difference… The owner Raymond Wong, is very enthusiastic, and adventurous, with big ideas that work perfectly. His latest...

my gears of war 2 review

Advantages: great graphics, Fun
Disadvantages: Slow matchmaking

...Campaign I really enoyed the first campagin but as money reviewers stated it was quite short and the ending did annoy some. Thankfully the story is much better off this time round. The story follows macrus and dom on an emotional story to finish off the locust and find doms wife maria. Presentation As gears of war 1 looked so incredible many different reviewers questioned if gears of war 2 could look any better than the first. But since epics showing of the newly updated unreal engine peoples minds started to beleive and gladly they did. The graphics are incredible, bascially mindblowing. They have improved alot than the first gears of war, with added extras like new water effects you cant go wrong. Multiplayer The multiplayer is pretty much the same as the first but with some tweaks. Firstly the shotguns damgaed has been...

Review of Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360)

Gears Of War 2

Advantages: Fantastic Gameplay and Playability
Disadvantages: Not your typical 3rd person shooter (taking cover is required!)

...The heavy hitting "Gears Of War" was a giant step into the world of future gaming, it's mind blowing in-game graphics and fantastic gameplay gave birth to a game which was not only playable once..but endless! times."Gears Of War 2" packs a much larger punch.With a lot of hours placed into the making of GOW:2 to guarantee fans of the original be satisfied, they have managed to make a game which will not only test your skill but will force you to think up a cunning strategy..or a thousand.Computer A.I (in game characters) will react to your every move,which is good if your pinned down behind a blown up vehicle with constant fire and need a hand from a comrade.However this can also be reversed in the way that if you have a enemy locked down your iron sight...he is going to call in his "friends" to help get you out his path.Gears 2 is all...

Review of Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360)

A world at war

Advantages: Great single player campaign, nice graphics, decent online experience
Disadvantages: Historically innacurate at times, animation a bit clunky, addition of vehicles

...landing around you, but it is great fun nontheless. The campaign is split into battles where you play as an American in the Pacific against the Japanese and where you play as a Russian against Germany on the Eastern Front. This works really well and provides great diversity throughout the game. Each set of missions have different characteristics, which as I say, keeps it fresh. Graphically it's a stunning effort from Activision. The attention to detail is amazing sometimes. Online play is hit and miss. Activision have borrowed a lot of 'Call of Duty 4's' aspects and implemented them into their game. It's not a bad idea, as Call of Duty 4 got online play arguably nearly spot on but it lacks a bit of originality and sometimes doesn't work in the World War 2 setting. The 'perks' you can choose are cluttered with perks nobody really uses and some...

Advantages: Comfortable, pleasant, good service
Disadvantages: Not easy to work in the rooms

...reaches the seats, and does not reach the table. Although there is wireless internet in the public areas, it does not work in the rooms. So trying to work in the rooms is very frustrating. Lounge Two floors are dedicated "Pacific Floors" which includes the suites. Staying on these floors gives access to a lounge which has light snacks available during the day and a cocktail hour in the evening with complimentary hot and cold snacks and drinks. There is also a breakfast served here - in the mornings, coincidentally - with fresh fruit, yoghurt, pastries and eggs to order. The lounge has seperate smoking and non-smoking breakfast rooms, either side of a central lounge area with TV. Food and Drink The hotel restaurants are all either on the ground or the first floor.

Motorstorm Pacific Rift (PS3): A first rate arcade racer

Advantages: Improves on the original in every way, creating an experience that is exhilarating and a lot of fu
Disadvantages: Nothing that you won't forgive

...Everyone who plays computer games learns to develop opinions about them. After a few hours play of a game, most people can give a brief overview of the good, the bad, the ugly, and ways that the series should go in future. It's a shame, then, that developers rarely listen to these opinions. Luckily Evolution Studios have listened to exactly what the fans wanted when creating Motorstorm Pacific Rift, and as a result they have produced a game that offers an unrivalled adrenaline and destruction packed racing experience this side of Burnout. In short, it's everything that the first game should have been. For newcomers to the series, the premise of Pacific Rift is simple. You put sixteen different vehicles of varying shapes and sizes together on varied tracks filled with death defying jumps, tight turns, and hazards in all shapes...
