Michael Palisano writes "Gamers looking for a simulation or even any sense of realism are going to be disappointed, but the arcade-style physics and controls make Motorstom: Pacific Rift an excellent title that should please those looking for a quick adrenaline rush. It's open-ended structure makes progression easy, which creates an instantly enjoyable, but also deeply engaging game that allows you to go deeper and unlock numerous extras. The diverse tracks mark a big improvement from the first title, giving the races added punch. An increased number of hazards and traps makes the game less predictable, along with the AI which has been improved to make your opponents harder to predict. As an added bonus, dual shock support has been included, no download patches need. This makes for a solidly entertaining follow-up with enough changes and additions to please players who enjoyed the first game. Motorstorm: Pacific Rift is a solidly entertaining, deep yet accessible racing title that delivers an exciting experience for fans of action packed racing."
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.
