Really fun, but a bit challenging.

User Rating: 9 | MotorStorm: Pacific Rift PS3
I got this game for Christmas when I got my PS3. I played the first motorsotrm at my friends house and was amazed at the quality of the graphics. So, I deceided to get MotorStrom:Pacific Rift.

First thing I can say is AMAZING GRAPHICS. I have never seen such quality graphics in my life. You drive under a waterfall, through a river, or any place where there is water, you car actually gets wet and soggy as if it had just ran through the ocean. Also, when your driving through mud, it sprays all over your screen ( visibility is good, not that much mud ) and your car gets covered in mud. You crash into a tree, as parts of your car come crashing off. FINALLY, we have waited so long for a racing game where your car breaks. Unlike those Need for Speed games where your car rams into a wall at 300 kph and it hasnt suffered a scratch.

Now the campaign, I would say MotorStorm is one of the most challenging racing games I have ever played. At first its easy, and then, it is harder and harder to progress to the other level. (i got to level 6) while there are overall 8 levels. Each level you beat, you unlock a new driver and car package. One more thing, the tracks are divided into the elemnts, fire, water, earth, air. (see track section for more info)

Tracks, much more that in the regular MotorSotrm, yes! There are 16 tracks and each are divided into the elemts fire, water, earth, and air. Why? Because on the earth tracks you plow through countless mud. On the fire tracks, you drive millimeters away from scorching lava, waiting, just waiting, to get you! In the water tracks you drive in and around water, ie. waterfalls, rivers, tide pools, etc. (be carefull not to get submerged in water) Finally, the air tracks, there, you jump off ramps and plummet to the ground meters below you. Think when you choose your vehicle. You dont want a monster truck driving off a ramp and due to its weight, falling into a canyon.


Sound, I would give the sound a 3/10. The songs really annoy me with hard/metallic rock. Well, if you like such music, youll like the sound. It would be much better if they had a variety of music.

Multiplayer, I dont really play online, but if you have friends over, its the perfect way to entertain any guest.

Overall, very fun. But beware, its a bit of a challenge to beat the game.
