Very detailed damage after impact. and could increase these ratings with some add on parts after winning races.- Online modes is lacking is stats. The video cut scenes are incredible in HD.- Vehicle choice: From motorcycles to monster trucks to rally cars, this game pretty much covers every off road vehicle out there.- Vehicle damage: Vehicles crash in an explosion of parts. THE GOOD:- Great graphics: the trucks look amazing, with reflective paint and detailed components. Without good stats, I don't get hooked to keep playing and improve.- Sound for some reason is extremely loud compared to other PS3 games. It'd be nice if you could see some generic ratings (acceleration, handling, top speed, suspension travel, etc).
you don't really know if one truck in a class is better than the next, so you end up choosing based on styling and color.
The trucks get coated in dirt realistically.- Simple menu structure: Very easy to navigate the menu, pick settings and races.- Decent online mode, with a full list of courses and vehicles.THE BAD:- Single player game gets really difficult about half way through.
Anything other than first, and you're a loser.
The courses also look great, with detailed textures and good lighting effects.
It tells you how many races you've won, and how many you've lost.
If you make one mistake and crash.
or somebody bumps you into a rock, you're screwed and probably won't win the race.- No vehicle upgrades available.
This may sound like a small thing, but for me stats keep me intersted in the online portion of a game.
Hard to find a comfortable volume
Crashing slow motion gets kind of annoying too when you can't just skip it and get on with the race. This game is a fun racing game, graphics are stunning, and it even has online play so that you can test your skills against others around the world. Only downfall is that you have a limited number of vehicles to choose from in each race and it doesn't have just a freestyle track where you can practice race, and you kind of go off instinct on what terrain each vehicle you have best suits it. Otherwise great game for anyone who likes motor cross stuff. My little brother loves this game as it has to do with mud, racing, trucks, bikes, semi trucks, and baja vehicles.
Great game awesome graphics, the only caveat is there's no two player otherwise great game to pick up.
On the contrary, the newer vehicles are less ambitious compared to the ones that are available by default. Although this is not very noticeable. No matter how good you get, you will find yourself getting smoked just before the finish line. Here are some of my gripes with the game:* Impossible to win after level 4. I was more interested in crashing my off-road vehicles to see them blown off to 100 pieces in slow-mo.
Little that I knew that all my excitement and WoW factors were going to turn to frustrations later on. This is a track specifically designed to ruin your Motorstorm gaming experience. First few games were mind-blowing. By the process of elimination you would finally figure out that you are better off using the default vehicles.* Patch required to play online; patch could not be downloaded after 10-odd trials.
AI finds ways to stop you just seconds before you are about to finish in the top 3. Get familiar with this term because this will haunt you for most parts of the game. By the time you are in level 4, you would have unlocked few vehicles that you would *think* gives an edge over others in the race. Once the patch is installed you would be able to use the dual-shock controller (with shock) versus the six-axis controller that comes by default. You need to clear this round to unlock higher levels so you end up playing this over and over.I am obliged to mentioned that despite these (major) gripes, I am glad I own a copy of Motorstorm.
The excitement of playing Motorstorm on my brand new PS3 kept me awake for few nights before the game arrived by mail. The key word is, no matter how well you play. If you have gotten past level 4 or 5, please do teach me the trick O'Master.* 720p. I was disappointed to play the game at 720p with a 37" 1080p Samsung 5 series with 5.1 digital HTIB system.* The Sidewinder Gulch. On top of that there is a 20-odd second lag between vehicle selection. If you got a PS3 and would like to show off to your visiting friends or relatives, this game is a must have. What is neat is that you can pause during a crash and rotate the shot 360 degrees to get a view of the blown vehicle.
There is no need to memorize controls, just throttle and blast away. Online play is plenty fun.* Unacceptable load times: It takes anywhere between a minute to three for each race to be loaded. When you are already upset getting smoked at the finish line, it gets very frustrating to wait for the game to be loaded.* Challenging AI. This is one of the hardest tracks to win, no matter how many times you try. You think you can handle that.
I actually would have beat it the first time, but I did a stupid move and wiped out before the finish line. I ended up passing every race. Overall this is a game that "could" have had alot of potential because of the vehicles and good graphics. Some of the races are extremely easy, while others are very difficult.
Resistance and Rachet are a blast and I past them both within weeks. We got Resistance 2, Rachet and Clank, Motor Storm and Indiana Jones temple of doom. The reason I bring this up is because I have alot of hours playing this game. This game has absolutely no story line and the ending sucks.2.
You can race and never wipe out and the cars will still be riding your butt, or you can race and wipe out all the time and guess what, the cars will still be riding your butt. I would race until I eventually took first place which would allow me to close out the ticket. It took me along time before I was able to beat it.The good and the bad:First the good;1. Great Graphics2. We bought a PS3 for Christmas for my twelve year old son.
you race the same tracks over and over again, which get's really boring.3. Poor artificial intellegence. This gets real frustrating after awhile. I expect to lose a race and have cars all around me if I race crappy, but when I race good I expect to leave the other cars in the dust.4. Hours of "fun" or "torture" trying to pass the game. Indiana Jones was to kiddish for me (I'm 30), so this left me playing Motor Storm because I couldn't afford to buy another game. For example, the second to last race took me about twenty tries before I could finally beat it in first place.
You can race as a motorcycle, 4-Wheeler, race car, 4x4 truck, buggie, and semi.3. The bad;1. The last race, which one would expect to be the hardest, only took two tries. It's to bad they didn't incorporate a story line, better AI and lot's more tracks to race.
