MotorStorm

Great! almost excellent... on December 18, 2007

This game is close to being 'excellent'. Great graphix, great sound, vehicle handling is quite impressive. And the 'boost' feature can come in handy on those competative situations. Vehicle classes range from dirt bikes to big riggs! So everyone finds a favorite. I was personally blown away by the detail in the 'Trucks' specifically the 'Springbok Kalahari' (almost identical to the "Trophy Truck" class found in the SCORE Off Road Racing series). The visual, handling and even sound of this particular "racing truck" is very ralistic! The "Truggy" (half truck, half buggy, also found in the SCORE series) and "Baja Bug" (on steroids) are also part of the vehicle arsenal.

One thing lacking is the "multiplayer" split screen mode. Although, you can race against 11 other gamers (on-line). You won't be racing your buddy when he/she comes visit.

I hear this feature will be included in "MotorStorm 2"...
One can hope. All in all, a great game!
