Manufacturer's Description
Developed by Evolution Studios, MotorStorm is a brutal, no-holds-barred offroad racing game created exclusively for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system. Set in the fictitious desert environment of Monument Valley, MotorStorm takes full advantage of the processing power of the PlayStation 3 to deliver an extreme racing event where the goal is to not only win, but to survive.

In the game, players will descend upon the MotorStorm Festival, a celebration of the alternative and extreme offroad racing culture. Throwing caution to the wind, players will take on a variety of racing fanatics and battle through chaotic, action-packed tracks to try and become the Festival champ.

Capitalizing on its pedigree in offroad racing, Evolution Studios has created a true next-generation gameplay experience that features smarter artificial intelligence (AI), real-time track deformation, fully destructible vehicles and environments, and stunningly detailed scenery. Tapping into the power of the PlayStation 3, MotorStorm will showcase cinematic effects such as motion blur, depth-of-field, and Hollywood-style crash cams that replay spectacular crash sequences during a race.

Brutal Off-Road Racing?!? It's a joke
MotorStorm is one of the first games I played on the Playstation 3 and really liked it but then it became Repetative & Annoying.

What I mean by this is that it gradually starts putting you off playing it when you only have 8 tracks available to race on even though you get to try these tracks with every vehicle type so that ranges difficulty.

The annoying factor however is that the computer AI racers seem to just piss you off when you get further into the game - now I know that I'm up to Level 4 races and the game's moto was 'Brutal Off-Road Racing' so it's gonna be tough but it becomes too brutal to play, you'll just get angry with it.

The AI always seems to get their boost faster than you aswell even if it's the same vehicle leaving you wondering is this fair? and that you can tip yourself over easy and they don't ever - well I haven't seen it.

The computer racers also crash alot as I've had people crashing in front of me leaving me no choice but to crash into them dropping down to like last place.

The vehicle spawn time is slow - first you have to watch a slowdown crash replay that you can't skip!! Then your spawned back onto the track putting you back in last place.

In short if you want a joke of a challenging racing game and don't mind repetition then be my guest and play away. I'd rather get annoyed over Burnout Paradise!

You can't polish a turd!
This game is awful. This is what we all feared the next gen may be like....All style no substance. They should have called this game, "PS3 graphical demo 1" So unintresting so unrealistic and downright shallow. I Played the first race and thought i'd rather pick out my eyelashes. Thats right the immence pain felt from pulling out eyelashes would not only be more benificial to your my time on earth it actualy feels better.
Give the money you could have bought this game with and give it to a homeless person...or a church or a donkey sanctuary....I couldnt care less what you do with your money but DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!

OVER AND OUT

i just cant win!
playing racing games i am so used to winning but this game is so imposible to beat it is crazy. the stunning visuals and great sounds make you really feel like your a part of the game but there is the underlying fact that the ai are just all secret lewis hamilton-valenino rossi's and are sooo hard to beat. if you feel like getting frustrated and smashing up your ps3 then buy this game otherwise i wouldnt recomend it to anyone even my worst enemy
