Great arcade racer August 7, 2008
Mr. S. R. Shakesby (Hull, England)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is quite simply the best arcade racer since the original Super Mario Kart. It's races are intense and hard fought. You can be at the front and end up coming last or vice versa and all this can happen in the space of one lap. The courses, although there are only around eight of them, are well designed with multiple routes each one tailoured to the specific vehicle class you are driving. The AI is simply brilliant, viscious but fun to play against. The online racing has flaws, it does, but is really good fun to play against other humans.
There in is the problem. No Splitscreen multiplayer which is the hallmark of all the best console racers. If it had that it would be almost a perfect game and would have achieved full marks.
Madness !! August 4, 2008
A. I. Missen
Madness !!! this is just a fantastic game. What is fun about this game is that it is easy to play and fun for all families !! Graphics just blow you away and selection of vehicles is a must. It reminds me a bit of Star Wars; The Phantom Menance, when little Anikin is is that game where he races around the desert. It's like being in a real vehicle, when you go over bumps and fall, your stomach does butterflies !! My wife and I can not stop playing.
For those two reviewists who wrote that the graphics are apalling and no split screen, who CARES ???? none of the most wrote reviewists, who wrote positively, care. I just think there will always be a couple of reviewists that write negatively; children throwing their toys out of their cots !! get lives or go and bury youselves in holes and dont crawl out until you can be REAL reviewists. Remember, reviewist have to write negatively AND positively....
 Forgot how good it is July 29, 2008
The usual suspect
For me and probably many others this was one of my first purchaces for my PS3 and as with most new toys I tend by everything I can lay my hands on in the first few weeks to feed it.
I've mainly used this game to entertain guests when they are around but I've recently gone back to having a good go at the offline game to see if there are extra tracks to be found etc.
It's hugely entertaining and will have you swearing at the tv the odd few times - ahem. The difficulty level is spot on. The visuals are gobsmacking.
For those old enough to remember - I found this very reminicent of Waverace 64.
I actually find it more fun to watch someone struggle not to get crushed by an AI truck driver rather than be racing against them on a split-screen. I've never found that a spilt screen can carry off the trick - even on the giant screens of today. The LAN trick with two screens is way better.
 MotorStorm, please don't spend your cash on it, not worth the 19 April 5, 2008

The graphics really are plain not outstanding like others have said, Gameplay not up scratch (basically for this type of game t needs to be pick up and fun which it really isn't)
Round it up..... buy prolog... i know it isn't a whole game but it's a whole lot better than this
 A GOOD EARLY GAME March 27, 2008

motorstorm is a good start for an off road game for the ps3 but needs improving in a few areas.
this game has good graphics and pretty good physics and controls so initially you know you have bought a good handling off road game but....
when you get to level 4 races and above things degenerate into other cars just trying to smash you up no matter if it costs them the race or not.some dubious crashes dont help for example i was travelling at 15 mph and got hit into a rock and my car exploded into a shower of bolts exactly the same as it does when im doing 100 mph,that's not good.level 4 and upwards is basically a chore and chores aren't fun.
online is really good,nice and smooth but if your a casual online gamer prepare to get slaughtered,if you practice online for hours and that's your thing you will be fine.
all in all the good outweighs the bad,for all the good graphics the loading times are really slow,for all the good physics the a.i. goes mental from level 4 onwards and so on and so on but its still worth a punt for 15 pounds preowned!
