I just got done playing the Motorstorm Pacific Rift demo on my PS3. The game is difficult. The maps are laid out in such a way that there are all sorts of obstacles to avoid. The floaty physics engine does not help this. There are multiple classes of vehicles you can use to race with, 3 of which were available in the demo. You could race with a monster truck, a motorcycle or a 4×4 racing truck. The monster truck was good for nothing as it was too slow. The bike was very fast and agile but obviously was the most easily taken out by rival racers due to it’s small size. The 4×4 was the most balanced.

I had to play the demo track well over a half-a-dozen times to take first place (motorcycle ftw). The game is definitely a rush but if the demo is an accurate indicator of the finished product as far as the physics, general track layout and difficulty is concerned then color me jaded before I’ve even fully played it. I’m seriously considering passing on it at the moment. I’m kinda bummed as I was looking forward to this game…

Later,
Dave
