by Koolaidman94 on October 4, 2010
Pros: Great graphics
Damage and physics are pretty good
soundtrack
SIXAXIS support

a good variety of cars
NICE extra bonus feature: a helicopter flyover of the desert in HD! a nice thing to have on to show off the beauty of your TVCons: VERY HARD AI
poor traction
few tracks
choosing a car takes a while to load a preview

Summary: This is a great game for anyone who likes off road racing games with some destruction and scenery thrown in. The large variety of cars too choose from makes for some times where the choice of car can mean win or lose. While there is a good variety of challenges, you will get tired after a while because the AI becomes incresingly harder at an alarming rate. You will get tired of racing the same tracks over and over again trying to get 1st place, but if you are on the last lap and you are not in first and cant see the person who is, you probobly might as well restart, and if you are in first on the last lap, just hope you dont crash, because no matter what happens it seems that there is always someone right behind you who takes first. All in all, this is a good game for a decent price. its got great graphics and good physics too. While the AI can be a pain, its still fun to just do some time trials.

Alright for the first "Big Hit"
by vttrav on August 30, 2008
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

Decent introduction game
by willecummingsdailyaccount on July 16, 2007
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. -
Not On Full Throttle
by Wardog541 on July 3, 2007
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.

amazing graphics, but I didn't find it very amusing

Cons: Kind of boring

Summary: I thought it was cool at first, but it wasn't really all that great. I enjoyed watching it because it looked so good, but playing it wasn't as fun. I liked the fact that you could use the SIXAXIS motion sensors to steer it instead of just the joysticks

Fun but shallow

Offline is fun training for online play & it gives you unlockable cars to use online.
single player offline is a bummer as is no support for steering wheels & pedals.
Online play is it's strong point but as with most games the 12 year old kids are as bad as the AI in they just want to crash everyone.
Get a friends list of people that drive like you do & race with them.
Cheating is rampant (boost glitch) but that is going to be fixed in an update.
All in all it'd good dirty fun but has room for improvement. -
Totally FUN
by Mr.Teeth on April 17, 2007
Pros: Amazing graphics, Tons of vehicles, Damage is highlight of the game
Cons: Could have had a few more tracks, can be fustrating difficulty to non-racers

Summary: After seeing MotorStorm demos I knew I has to get it, i'm more of a traditional racing fan (Formula 1, Gran Turismo). But this game is just as fun as racing can be. The graphics for starters are amazing (especially if you have HDMI) They programmers also gave us plenty of vehicles to choose from with multiple configurations. The game is overall very challenging and will keep you occupied since its not overly easy. The only problem with the game is lack of tracks (less then 10) I was kind of hoping for more. Overall the gameplay is nonstop action and fun, the crash sequences are always cinematic and at times hilarious to watch.

Fast frantic fun!

Cons: No offline multiplayer, not enough tracks.

This is my go-to game after a long frustrating day at the office. That guy on the motorcycle up there? He's my boss, and I just plowed over him in my big rig!!
The fun is in the details. Each vehicle has totally unique physics and it's a pleasure and challenge to master each one. It's also fun to crash each vehilce and see how it breaks apart. Of course, nothing beats crashing off of a bike or ATV in which case you get to see your driver fly off the vehicle and slam around the track like a rag doll. Pure joy!
The graphics are breakthtaking at times and with a large TV and surround sound you really feel like you're imersed in the aciton. My roommates make fun of me as I jump around and yell at the TV while I'm playing! The sound effects will shake your bones!
My one complaint about this game is the lack of offline multiplayer. I'd love to be able to play with, and talk smack to, friends who come over.
Other than that, this game is great at what it was made to do, be a fun, fast, in-your-face arcade syle racer. -
Motorstorming-tastic!
by FunkYellowMonkey(PS3 tag) on April 8, 2007
Pros: Incredible graphics, Incredible Physics, Challenging A.I.
Cons: Lack of offline multi-player modes, Lack of replays, Convoluted lobby sytem, Loading times

This game is what defines real off-road terrain racing! The game is just visually jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
The game is so smooth and dripping with testeronic atmosphere, you'd swear its some kind of Mad Max movie and not think its possible as a game, it's that good.
Think Mad Max combined with a lash of Flatout, Road Rash, Burnout, Big Motha Truckers and you've got a winning formula. There is a vast variety of vehicles in this game and each one performs and handles
independently.
Physics:
Wow, this is what we're talking about, the crash damage physics in this game are second to none (bar reality!) lol Vehicles dent and crumple, debris scattered everywhere and they STAY on track, so you've got to be extra careful when you go round the second time as the debris of a car will, and has many a times hinder your efforts!
Road Rash stylee:
Remember Road Rash on the good old Megadrive? Well subsequent games after the 16bit classics were never quite the same (except for 3DO/PS1 versions). In Motorstorm you can choose to race with bikes and really mix it up with rivals. You can taunt your opponents as well as (wait for it, drum rolls...) punch and smack your riders off their bikes! YAY!
Online:
This is the icing on the cake, the game is pretty much rock solid and smooth, there is no lag even on a 1mb connection. The lobby can be a bit convoluted at times but once you start getting into the swing of
things it's a doodle. Online Motorstorming has never been so much fun!
Sonic-boom:
The sound effects are very well done too, revviing of engines, screeching tires and best of all are the ear-wincing sounds of crashing n big booming explosions!
There is a variety of music tracks played throughout the game and most of them suit the game's theme quite appropriately. One track which stands out in particular is by Pendulum, its a very catchy and distinct track with lashings of drum'n bass. It's so good that it had me buying their whole album!
Overall:
Motorstorm's a great game, you'd never have the same race twice - from the makers of WRC (World Rally Championship), Evolution Studios have done a fantastic job for the gaming world! A sequel is in the works too, let's hope they enable rumble/vibration as well as viewable/saveable replays. Also, the Motorstorm engine will be used in forthcoming PS3 futuristic racer>>>> WIPEOUT!
8/10
