User Rating: 10 | MotorStorm: Pacific Rift PS3
Lets start this review by saying i dont like racers. But motorstorm pacific rift has changed my mind. Lets start with the singleplayer. This is probably the weakest link of the game, considering its so hard. Yeah theres easy things, like in every game, but some of the missions will have you chucking your controller at the wall. Next is the multiplayer. Its really really really good. The splitscreen is a blast first off. Its fun sometimes to invite over 3 friends and just face off. This is an especially good feature these days considering most games lack split screen and im regretting buying 3 other controllers. The online multiplayer is superb as well. Its very addictive. For example, If you lose a close race, you'll want to play agian and win. Lastly I'd like to comment on the amazing physics. Its like they took the source engine from valve, increased its ragdolly goodness by 10x and then put it in a racer.

My personaly favorites:


* Twice the number of tracks as the original
* Many course designs are breathtaking
* Core racing is an absolute blast
* Great multiplayer, both online and off.

Not so likeable:

* Inconsistent vehicle handling
* Oversensitive physics.
