Review – Motorstorm
In a nutshell: An excellent off-road racer that hurts itself by leaving out some of the basics.
Why you should play it: One of the best-looking racing games out there. Racing is exciting, challenging, and fun. Lays the foundation for an excellent new racing series. Great online modes add to the fun. Crashes look and sound superb.
Why you may want to avoid it: Small number of tracks available. Only one offline single-player mode that needs more depth. No split-screen multiplayer makes no sense for a racing game, especially a good one.
Final Thoughts: The developers of Motorstorm made an above average, fairly unique racer that is loads of fun to pop in and play. However, they shot themselves in the foot with mistakes like a shallow single-player game and not offering any type of offline multiplayer. The core racing elements are still awesome enough to give Motorstorm 4/5 stars.
