I haven't played it but the one guy I've seen mention it in my Twitter feed said it was good.

I saw it in HMV but didn't feel like picking it up. Everything I have seen looks awesome but I don't really play my PS3 enough. I still have KZ3 and Yakuza 3 (and now 4) to finish. May get it during the summer though.

Next game on my list. Getting it at the end of this week.

I was surprised to see that it was out when I went into HMV yesterday. I really want to get it but will probably wait 'til after I'm finished at uni for the summer.

Hope to pick it up soon. Origional Motorstorm is the best racing game ever.

I used my UK PSN account ('cause I live in the US) to download the demo. It was pretty fun. 

i'll pass

Between the 'meh' demo and being fed up with the rubber-banding AI in Pacific Rift, I was going to pass. But after watching the quick look I changed my mind; the racing seemed more fun than I remember, and I didn't even know there was a story mode, regardless of how bad some people perceived it. It's too bad my hands are already full with other games, but I'll remember to pick this up at some point in the future.

It looks like one of those games that just wouldn't hold my interest much like Split Second, once you've seen it you've seen it. 

Taking a break on racing games. Still need to finish NFS:HP and play some GT5 I got last year.

Love this game, had it for so long, its been out in the UK for ages. Shocked you guys have only just got it ! 

 Like most racing games it lacks red shells.

@Kjellm87:
How much better would it be though am I right!?

Dude, can you stop making a bazillion threads?, like 80% of the threads that show up at the front page are yours and they are all pretty bad, you ask a question a don't make a point yourself about it, come on

well, I picked it up even tho I didn't really think the demo was great   (probably the worst track in the game that I've played thus far), but I liked the last 2 Motorstorms.  Worst part is the cutscenes...obviously.  You can skip them as soon as they pop up tho.  It's Motorstorm, basically, but times 10 on the craziness.  

The Quicklook showed a good number of tracks...I've played a couple more that were even more crazy.  One track starts with you dropping from a helicopter onto a building that is already crumbling down...that was pretty awesome.  You race on rooftops and through offices while buildings fall all around you.

Game probably won't do good at all I'm sure.  I went to Gamestop, first weekend it's released and they had zero copies.  Guy told me they didn't get enough preorders so they just didn't bother to get any copies of it.....wow.  So I went across the street to Best Buy and got it.....thanks Gamestop!  Had a hand full of games to trade in and was ready to pre-order LA Noire; their loss.   Dunno why i bother going there.

I'm playing through Split/Second now, having finished Apocalypse just recently, and I can say without a doubt it's the better game. Don't get me wrong, there are some genuinely breathtaking moments in Apocalypse, but the racing just doesn't feel right. And the soundtrack blows.

I was going to get it but with the whole PSN situation I'll wait for a sale. Looking forward to it though.

Fuck that game the witcher, brink and la noir are coming out dont have the time!

Got an import copy of this over a month ago, now.

It's crazy epic, I love it.

I have the game I think it is quite good. Unfortunately have no more internet at home :(

I just got around to playing the PSN demo and I really enjoyed it.  I may have to pick the game up down the road.
 
I also own Pacific Rift and enjoyed that too, but at times it just felt too difficult with the steering and handling.  Apocalypse has a different feel to it when it comes to the steering.  I can't quite put my finger on it just yet.  When taking some of the turns in the demo you can sort of over steer in order to get your vehicle going in the right direction.  I don't remember being able to really do that in Pacific Rift without the vehicle flipping over.

@Hizang: This game is awesome!!!! Great arcade racing, jaw-dropping visuals. Alex only gave it 3 stars, he is dead wrong. I never felt frustrated, usually when I crash, I hardly ever lose any positions. You car resets quickly, and with a very liberal turbo boost mechanic, your never out of any race. I personally like this better than the rewind function in other racers. That just feels cheap and takes me out of the race. This is the 3rd best game I've played all year behind Dead Space 2 and LA. Noire.

The awful soundtrack kills this game for me. I can't play it any more.
