100 percent fun........2007-06-08

Excellent gameplay and graphics. There's a decent variety of vehicles, however, they do lack the ability to customize. As others have pointed out, a big flaw is the number of tracks. They are well done, with each one providing a different set of challenges, but there are only eight of them. The other big problem is a exploit that lets you use boost constantly without overheating your engine. This is really a problem in the online game (which is otherwise excellent, imho), giving a big edge to those who know about the exploit.

Online Multiplayer is Incredible.......2007-05-23

This a deep offroad racing game with eight extremely well created courses that test the skills any racer. While many people complain about the number of courses available, each course is expertly designed and allow for multiple ways to race through a lap. It is rare to go through a course exactly the same time in a race.

Visually, this game is stunning. Running at full 720p, the cars, and the environment especially, look incredibly realistic. In fact, the courses change every lap because of different layers of ground that are churned up. For instance, the first lap you may be driving in compacted dirt while the last lap you're driving in deep mud.

The game iteself, however, is very bare bones. There are only two options when you want to race: a campaign mode which is basically the eight courses strung together with different restrictions on vehicles, and online. The campaign mode quickly becomes frustatingly difficult, but the online mode always delivers. Online, you can race on any course, with any vehicle, any time of day (in the game, or literally). It is just pure fun racing against up to 11 other people around the country. There are a few minor problems with the online mode. However, those should be fixed in a new free downloadable patch slated to release sometime in the summer. There is no splitscreen racing mode, though, so you can't play against your buddies you invited over (what a bummer).

If you own a PS3, this a must have if you have even the slightest interest in racing games. The few but great courses and stellar online mode more than make up for the limited options.

Great off-road racing mayhem that has its moments........2007-05-23

As a person who does not buy many racing games, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Motorstorm. The single player is arguably bare-bones with one mode: race each ticket until you have golds. It sounds simplistic, but it is very challenging. Try a race where you are on a motorcycle against enormous big rigs and you'll see what I mean. The online multiplayer is where your adrenaline will really start to pump.

Racing against other humans is much more rewarding than racing against the game's AI. One major complaint I have with the single player is that the AI is very simple. It will stick with you no matter how well you race, until you crash and a horde of racers is right there to pass you by. If someone is in front of you, that AI-controller vehicle will not care about the race. He will stop and block your way while others pass him just to slow you down. It's cheap AI, and it will frustrate you, but you find ways around it. Atleast when playing real people online, everyone wants to win.

I recommend this game to racing fans.

Motorstorm for the PlayStation 3 is a horrible videogame. There are 6 tracks that repeat over and over. It is a rental at best and a waste of money at it's MSRP. I played Motorstorm on my Samsung 720p LCD HDTV(LNS2651D)with a Monster Cable S-video cable(PLG300)and the graphics did not impress or look next gen. I would suggest to anybody interested in the game to download the playable demo onto their PS3 console first or rent it!

Fantastic Off Road Racing.......2007-05-15

The levels are beautiful. Great vehicles, great music. High flying jumps are great fun. Even crashing is a good time.
