MotorStorm user reviews (PlayStation 3)

Pros The game allows drivers to drive different type rides during a race. ex: Truck vs. ATV

Cons Slow motion crashes get old.

Summary The PS3's first game that shows the power of the system could have been better. Part two should improve

Pros Graphics, gameplay, online play

Cons only one offline mode.

Pros Graphics, track varies during races

Cons Single player in offline mode, car choices when advancing

Summary I do believe it was Heraclitus who said all things are in motion and nothing remains still, giving us the adage “You can’t step into the same river twice,” as it is in a constant state of flux. The same holds true for Motor Sport, since each time you race on a track, it’s dynamic changes. Where a blockade may exist on the first lap, a pile of ruble where the blockade once stood will appear on the second lap, making it slightly more challenging.

However, user input with regards to variety is at a minimum. Remember the older arcade game Off Road, where as one progressed, so did the options in the way of better suspensions, and faster engines? Given the two are somewhat similar, and PS3 is a revolutionary console, you would think options/variety would be the one constant. Throughout the game, you are limited with which car you may race. While you can choose a color as well a driver, you don’t have the liberty to choose options that will determine how the car will handle.

Pros Stunning Graphics, No Lag, Online Gameplay

Cons No Multiplayer Offline, Only 8 Tracks to race on

Summary A very intense racing game that doesn't disappoint. The graphics are out of this world; especially when driving in the mud the mud will actually fly onto your tv screen. No multiplayer offline keeps this game from being an 8, because who wants to race with only computer 100% of the time offline? With only 8 tracks to race on the game tends to get easy and some what boring sometimes. Overall a good racing game for the PS3, but could have been a lot better with more features.
