Video Game Reviews of MotorStorm
Customer Review: Incredible graphics, great concept, but this game gets hard real fast.
Summary: 4 Stars
THE GOOD:
- Great graphics: the trucks look amazing, with reflective paint and detailed components. The courses also look great, with detailed textures and good lighting effects. 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. Very detailed damage after impact. 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. 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... 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. It'd be nice if you could see some generic ratings (acceleration, handling, top speed, suspension travel, etc.) and could increase these ratings with some add on parts after winning races.
- Online modes is lacking is stats. It tells you how many races you've won, and how many you've lost. Anything other than first, and you're a loser. This may sound like a small thing, but for me stats keep me intersted in the online portion of a game. 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. Hard to find a comfortable volume
