Still, Motorstorm deservedly takes a top spot amongst racers with its frenetic, visceral racing approach. Plenty have tried the off-road racing genre, but where many use it as a spray-on graphic style, Evolution makes it the heart of their game. Between moments of frustration, careening down a sun drenched valley, narrowly avoiding downed trees and overspilling lava pits, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift provides a stunning racing experience.
Digital Foundry : Evolution Studios' Motorstorm is one of the first, finest and most fondly remembered of launch titles for PlayStation 3. It's a release designed to answer the question posed by each new console generation: what makes a game 'next-gen'? With its robust physics engine and massive tracks, Motorstorm serves up a bold affirmative answer to this question, delivering an experience that could never have existed on prior console hardware. At the same time, the path to release was fraught with challenges that almost serve as a microcosm of the PlayStation 3 release situation itself. It was a success, however, with a trilogy of PS3 releases, plus PSP, Vita and even PS2 off-shoots.
After Driveclub and Onrush, the dev team will now contribute to and assist with the development of the upcoming NFS.
Never really got into it myself I remember getting it with ps3 and being a bit underwhelmed I preferred the RC version they did for vita 🙌🏻🤣

Poor Heavy Rain lol that game was and is a pile. Emulation sounds cool though - Res. Evil 3 and Directors Cut all the way.
So games run at 10 fps and graphical glitches not seen since pcsx2 in 2003,.. I will get there someday.
You know what I like about this review?. There is no score. Instead there's a reccomendation.
Very well written, and clearly states the games faults and achievements. Critical and well thought out.

I'll be picking Pacific Rift up in the next couple of days. I look forward to the thrill of off-road racing I felt with MS1, motion controls and yes, the frustration that also comes with the game which will push me to become a more skilled player.
If only more gaming sites had the balls to give an in depth review and let the readers decide what the score should be.
