    Motorstorm Pacific Rift Tears through my Heart

     Motorstorm Pacific Rift is a game, extremely unique to the Playstation 3.  Motorstorm is an extreme off-road racer.

    Motorstorm has a extremely indepth singleplayer portion of the game, which contains 4 different, racing zones, which are, fire, water, air, and earth, and are all explain themselves. The vechiles themselves are all different to drive and you will have to adjust your driving style for each vechile. For example, is you in the Bike you should take all the high tacks and keep your distance from the bigger vechiles, and if your in a monster truck, your best bet is too stay low and in the mud and destroy all other vechiles on the track. There is also a stategy to the races now, on the fire tracks, your boost will increase faster then usual when being used, and the water will cool down your boost down. The air tracks supply you with big air chances, which also cools of your boost down.

    Motorstorm also has Multiplayer which is pretty basic. You can race a standard race against 12 other people, and depending on where you finish up, you will gain experience and level up when the gauge reaches 100%. There is also a split screen option that fans have been asking for because the first motorstorm didn't have a split-screen option. Split-screen can support up-to 4 players and was put into this game, for those people who don't have online support and just want to sit on a couch with 3 other mates and have a good time.

    Overall motorstorm pacific rift is a amazing off-road racer like no other. I hope every one that owns a Playstation 3 gets the chance to play Motorstorm Pacific Rift.

      I've gotten my hands on the newest Motorstorm(of the Apocalyptic variety), and before I start on that adventure, I'd like to take a little time to reflect on the time I spent on Pacific Rift. Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind zones were the name of the game of this game, and we're lucky that a bit of Heart was applied to this game along with the technical talent involved, especially in the levels that it was fleshed out upon, and in the individual feel of most of the vehicles have. However, the game ...

      Gorgeous tracks and jumps; simplistic racing and no rewards 0

       If you're looking for an adrenaline-filled arcade racer, you certainly won't go wrong with Motorstorm: Pacific Rift. This is pick-up-and-play racing at its finest -- perfect for parties or with friends. The extremely low learning curve and luscious Hawaii-inspired courses make a great first impression.The game offers a simple single-player "career" mode -- in the loosest definition of the word. You can play your way through eight ranks, unlocking new tracks, race modes, vehicles, skins and driv...
