Customers appreciate the game's excellent graphics and fun online play, finding the controls easy to learn and the racing addictive. However, some feel the limited number of tracks and vehicle choices detract from the overall experience, and long loading times are also a point of concern. The lack of split-screen multiplayer was also a disappointment for some players.

Motorstorm: PlayStation 3

If you love driving and getting dirty, then this is your game! This games makes for a lot of fun when it comes to all out racing and beating the breaks off an opponent. The crash scenes are hilarious, the graphics are intense, and the sound is crazy. If you have a home theather system, you'll definitely need to turn it down some or you're going to have some angry neighbors...yes, it's that loud! And if you think you're the best driver out there, take it online for some multi-player action and watch yourself get embarassed. Great game!

Motorstorm is a great game with great graphics. Everything runs smoothly, and is loads of fun. The only thing that bothers me is the length of the game, and the lack of multiplayer offline. Otherwise it is a great game.

Almost a masterpiece

Other than Blazing Angels I would have to say this game is the best at taking advantage of the six-axis control. The controls don't take much time to get used to but your first race will likely be very tough and full of crashes. A plethora of vehicles to choose from but the loading time in choosing a vehicle is beyond horrible. The tracks are excellent. The music suits the game almost as well as Jaws or Star Wars. Overall a definite must have for all PS3 owners. The 2nd in the series is coming soon but to me it doesn't look as good as this one.

I love this game because you can pause it at any moment (especially during crashes) and rotate around the cars and bikes at any angle and zoom in or out to observe the damage. Everything is so realistic and life- like from the mud splattering all over the windows to the tires becoming of center a wobblly, etc. It's hard to tell this game between really life and a video game. Although, there are many different courses, but you have to race multipal times on each coarse throuhout the game using each vehical. Other than that it is just a fantastic game that I highly recommend buying.

I recieved this game with my 80GB Playstation 3. This would not have been my game of choice. First, I am not a racing gamer. Second, this game is costly. Third, this game takes SOOO long to load. Fourth, the vehicle choices suck. If you are looking for a good racing game look beyond Motorstorm.

This game came with my PS3 system, so I figured it was gonna suck. But I was wrong...it's actually pretty darn fun! The graphics are amazing and the sound is too; they did a great job developing this game. It's exciting and lots of fun...the only drawback is that it's pretty difficult.

I wouldn't have thought to buy this game if it hadn't come with the PS3 that I got, and it was just okay. The graphics are amazing, there are a lot of tracks, and in my opinion the cars, motorcycles, and buggeys/trucks are really cool. I wish that there could be a free race mode so you can race on a track of your choice and not have it be put on your "ticket", and it would be better if there was a split screen multiplayer mode so you could have a local multiplayer session, and not just have to play online multiplayer.

Really fun game

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This game is really great, it's really fun playing it. First of all, it's very easy to operate, I got used to all the keys within 10 minutes. It's few of the games I got hooked on since I'm a very casual gamer, I bought the PS3 mainly for watching blu-ray movies. You get to choose all kinds of vehicles, from small motorcycle to big trucks. The smaller ones are easy to manuvear, I'm quite good at motorcycles now, especially with the action which you can hit other people on motorcycle. The big ones are more challenging, I haven't played around with those too much. The graphics are really good, the slow camera switch on the detailed blow up are fun to watch. And the feeling for the speed is just right. I've tried the demo of the ridge racer and couple others from Playstation store, it's just some are too fast, some are too slow, but this one is right on to my taste. Overall, I really like it, I think it's a $60 well spent to get me unstoppable fun. I would recommend to try it either from rental or download a demo from PS online store to experience it.

Best Racing Game

When I first saw Motorstorm I thought it was the most crappiest game ever, but when I played it, it was awesome. I would recommend this game to anyone. The game play was smooth and fun. I've played other racing games like Gran Turismo. Although they're completely diffrent in every single way except for the racing part I would say its a pretty darn good game

Fun game play "for a while"
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
A friend of mine let me borrow this one, because he was bored with it. I've played it for several hours, and while it was a lot of fun in the beginning, it seems to get old more quickly than most racing style games. The control is good, and graphics are very decent, just the game experience itself gets slightly redundant. Assuming the game was enjoyable for 6 hours, ... that's $10/hr, which is still slightly cheaper than going to the movies. And I may re-visit it again in the future, and buy my own copy when it ends up as a "PS3 Greatest Hits" game in 2-3 years.

This is a must own if you like racing games or just want to have one for playing now and then. The graphics are awesome, especially for a game that is about as old as the PS3. The sequal comes out this winter, so get this now so you'll be ready. The price is a good deal these days too!

This is one of the best titles available to date for the PS3, with a fun single player mode and even more fun online play. With lots of different vehicles to choose from, you will have to spend some time trying to beat the game and the online players with the GOD rankings lol.

Awesome off-road game

I've played about 13 off-road games and this tops the first 3. I mean, the graphics are awesome, perfect for surround-sound, and if you lose and quit you just have to get back on. Multi player is awesome too.

Great offroad racing

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I got this with my ps3. This game is a great racing game that doesn't take racing to seriously like some other ones like DIRT. Your able to sit down and play it without knowing anything about cars. I loved how different vehicle classes were good at different things like big rigs were good in mud and rally cars good on dirt. The loading screens did take a while which made me mad because I could not get to playing. There is only 8 tracks but thankfully they added expansion packs but there is also no multiplayer. Sometimes I just want to race my frieds at my house but i can't. The one thing that was the worst was the AI.
On level 2 it is amazing and crashes you once in a while but on 3 and 4 they don't care about winning as long as you don't win. I have had the computer crash me and themselves into the wall when i would have gotten 2nd and them 1st. A pretty good racing game though.

The game itself is a lot of fun. The graphics are amazing and it is cool to have so many options as far as vehicle choice with this game. The only downfall is that there is no split screen multiplayer capability. If you don't want to play online then it is strictly a single player game. If you don't mind playing alone then this is a great game. If you are looking for a game that you can play with your friends then this is not the game for you.

To boring...

This is a game that I will never buy ,thanks fully just came with the console.
Graphics are great, but that's all about more graphics than a game ,Its easy to get boring with this game to repetitive, no many choices on vehicles, the game its to plain.
I recommend to rent it before buy it, because there is a lot of better games for the price of this game.

This game is good. Very good graphics and sound, but the game play itself gets very boring. You can't pick free drives or anything like that. Its race after race and not a variety of vehicles. But the graphics are worth playing the game.
