PlayStation 3 User Reviews

Clean and good, extremely fun, Great controls, Perfect, Smooth controls, Amazing and perfect game

Absoluto banger, desde que lo probé de niño hasta hace poco que me lo pude completar jamás he visto otro que replique al 100% lo desquiciado y puro de este juego de carreras off-road

Le plus grand jeu de course de l'histoire sur console pour s'amuser entre amis et mourir de rire.

Прекрасные пейзажи, приятно проводить время с друзьями, хотя сюжет и перевод могли бы быть лучше. Все-таки достойный аркадный гонщик.

An improvement over the original thanks to tweaks to the graphics and handling which make it more fun to play. But it's still too reliant on luck over skill and it's nowhere near as good as the Dirt games.

best motorstorm in the seires. just more dirt with some sand and some nice colours

Featuring an impressive physics engine, a tantalizingly wild and dangerous environment, and an EXTREMELY off-road racing style, this game taps into the primal thrill of guzzling gasoline while risking life and limb at every turn.

Too bad it wasn't released for PC because this game is amazing, Only the gameplay was a little bad. I want to buy a PS3 just to play this game

Even after all these years, this game still has some of the best visuals the ps3 has to offer. This is one of my favorite racing games of all time. Unlike the first game, which takes place in Monument vally's desert setting, this one takes place on a tropical island full of vegitation, lava, and water. There are 8 vehicle classess to choose from, each with their own strenghts and weaknesses. For example, Bikes are quick to accelerate, and have great manurverability, while the heavy vehicles like the big rigs are slow to gain speed, but due to their massive size and weight, are almost impossible to stop and take down once they get moving. ALMOST. The only real thing that is keeping me from giving this game a 10/10, is that the vehicles in this game tend to slide around a bit to much, almost like they are on ice sometimes. Because of this, sometimes the vehicles can feel somewhat weightless. If you have a ps3, I highly recomend getting this game.

great music, gameplay but it can get hard really fast, only hard work gets you through the game

Pacific Rift is a vast improvement of the original game. Each vehicle feels great to drive, and the tracks are pleasing to the eye.

One of the greatest racing games of ps3/xbox360 era. A lot of cars, a lot of tracks, a lot of fun and a very good gameplay! Hope one day a new one not exclusive to Sony, cause Sony is a bad company.

Best driving game ever made. i love this game, its in my opinion better than the first one. i really like these tracks. they're amazing and very well made.

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE RACING GAME! The gameplay features are amazing and excellent. The tracks are AMAZING and vehicles and everything!

The best racing game on PS3, 40 electronic music tracks, very intuitive transports' classes, driving balanced between arcade'ish and realistic, just enough to be engaged, but not to suffer too much. Highly recommended even for those, who is not into racing games

Продолжение убер-мега скоростной гонки на Playstation 3. Хочется верить что концепция таких гонок не канет в лету, с переходом на новое поколение консолей.

A pretty cool racing game. Crashes and Explosions are really awesome and the maps are gorgeous as well.

If you own a PS3 and you like 'rough' racing you simply need to get this. The locations are exhilarating. The racing is exciting. Easily one of the best. To me, Pacific Rift was more exciting than the original Motorstorm.

Malgré un contenu bien plus conséquent (des circuits très variés) que le premier et de toujours aussi jolis graphismes, Motorstorm 2 échoue encore dans sa gestion lamentable des collisions et leur physique douteuse (c'est ici bien pire que Motorstorm 1 !)... Un petit poteau en bois sur la route : accident ; frôler un concurrent : accident. L'IA hargneuse est systématiquement avantagée et son seul objectif est de vous mettre dans le mur. On se borne donc à l'éviter le plus possible... Pas glop et particulièrement horripilant, ce Motorstorm tape vite sur les nerfs.

Иногда прямо втягиваешься в экран,когда мчишься на запредельной скорости... и это просто афигенно! Но иногда становится скучно играть после часа игры,что печалит,но бывает не часто. Графика крута,особенные красоты получаются в фото режиме. Не маловажная часть любой гонки-музыка. Тут она неплоха (до саундтрека Flatout'а 2 далековато). Вообщем неплохая гонка.

A fun aracade off road racing game. Fell in love with motor storm after apocalypse, so I decided to try the predecessor to it. The racing is solid, responsive and aradey- like which I enjoyed. The tracks that they had was for the most part to me not as interesting as apocalypse (dynamic courses), but it is very open with different routes to the finish ( a major plus); and all routes for the most part having it's own personality. The only thing I don't understand (I stick with single player for racing games) was why were the same tracks (about 16 I think) recycled over and over in the SP campaign? Don't get me wrong the tracks they did have were amazing and I get it, you use different class of vehicles which forces you to use different routes during a single track; but it doesn't make it less stale the third time through the same track. The unlockables were nice, but were just cosmetics, another bummer. Aside from my one MAJOR complaint, I still think this game was fun and adrenaline packed, a great arcade racer; just not as good as apocalypse imo.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Best racing game ever!!! Nice cars and beautiful tracks! You feel really cool when u win a race and it is very competitive when u play with **** graphics are awesome too

MotorStorm: Pacific Rift is a very fun, challenging and badass arcade racer from Evolution Studios. It improves on pretty much everything from the original. The best in the series.

I played Pacific Rift after finishing M Apocalypse, and to my surprise I am enjoying over Pacific! Pacific Rift is far more beautiful graphically that apocalypse, the scenery is beautiful, the vehicles seem to be much more detailed than those of m Apocalypse, the gameplay is also more natural and fun conclusion: Pacific Rift, despite being older, is much better than Motorstorm Apocalypse

Nice sceneries and okay handling. Very enjoyable with friends especially when launchig of a cliff in a high speed motorcycle, bumping each other mid air. Not the best story and the translation of some things could be a lot better, but still, a decent arcade racer.

The appeal of this game is difficult to comprehend. The only thing I can respect is that there are 8 different vehicles and each one has its distinct advantages and disadvantages according to the terrain. But that's where it ends. Save datas corrupt easily, and some of the textures are simply abysmal. What strikes me most about this pathetic "racing game" (if you can call it that) is how shocking the driving physics (or lack of) are compared to other games in the genre. The understeer is severe, making the game unplayable. Controls are generally unresponsive and unless you use the bike everything handles like a brick. There is little skill in this game, it's all about picking the fastest route for your vehicle because the game's mechanics are so basic there is little room for perfection. All you can do is boost, accelerate, brake and handbrake. Even the most arcade racers manage to implement some sort of skill but Motorstorm is neither skillful nor appealing to either casual gamers or hardcore racing fans like myself. This is mostly due to the fact that the flow of the action and intensity of going fast over rough terrain is broken up by constant crashing. This is brought about by the highly insensitive steering and the amount of clutter in your way on cirtually any path you choose. Most people would probably start off picking a rally car because it's something they feel most familiar with, but unrealistically the rally car has amongst the worst handling even though it should be one of the sharpest vehicles due to its stiff suspension. Overall there's nothing to credit this game for other than its frankly pathetic attempt at making a racing game which involves different types of vehicles over less bland scenery. Soundtrack is deafening and the almost non-existent driving physics coupled with the WORST CONTROLS I'VE EVER COME ACROSS IN A RACING GAME make it unplayable. You really have to have no standards whatsoever to even consider rating this a good game. If you've played a racing game before, no matter how bad it was, you won't find one worse than this.

i am not much of a story mode guy (in this case its called a festival), so i dont really like it. but the free play is just awesome. if u're really angry, u take a bike or an ATV put up a bunch more as opponents, and punch them. this game rocks

MotorStorm: Pacific Rift is a fantastic game. The racing style may seem crazy and arcadey at first glance, but in actual fact you have to drive very skillfully to gain good positions as the difficulty increases. Breaking, control and well utilized boosts are the keys to victory here. If you drive like a wild man, you'll soon end up in Respawn Central with a one-way ticket to last place. That said, the game still offers a glut of breakneck, crazy fun; punching riders off motorcycles, crushing buggies under the wheels of a monster truck, nudging other racers off the cliffs... Great stuff! The local multiplayer is also unbelievably good and playing split-screen with friends is an endless riot. Get a few players together who know their way around the game and... Oh yeah, it's party time! The graphics are also worth a mention in the 'That's Awesome' department too. Motorstorm is truly one of the best looking games on PS3. There isn't much to say about Pacific Rift in the negative, in fact the only things that spring to mind are; A: the overbearing soundtrack (just turn the volume down in the options). B: The minimalistic bare-bones online racing (a more pertinent and disappointing problem). But these problems in no way ruin the fun that Motorstorm delivers.

the best driving arcade game of the gaming history. It is wild and frenetic, you can feel the motor and gasoline running in your blood to and you can fly the heavier metal. Its simply the best

this game is better the last one the maps are more fun and the racing is a little better and the setting is also better its not bad but its not amazing theres still nothing that separates this from all the rest

A very enjoyable gaming experience, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift is a huge improvement from it's predecessor. A wide range of vehicles and incredibly life-like landscape the second of the MotorStorm saga is all a racer could ask for.

Im way late on this game, but I LOVE it. I think the racing is great, graphics are wonderful, music is good, online play is a blast, and overall the whole game is excellent. I'm not sure why there are the negative reviews about graphics. To me the game has MANY hours of play before it becomes boring in the least. It isn't focused about immersing the player into car make-up etc, rather it's focus is putting you on a rig and racing. simple enough. Really enjoy the game and wish there were more that were similar to it.

After awhile all games get boring. Onine is fun and fast and having played it afew nights ago against a friend in 2 player splitscreen and then 4 player splitscreen lastnight this game is the most satisfying racer ive played on any console so far. Its fully deserving of a ten but i could'nt get the notch above the panel to hit the ten mark stupid website. 10/10. Now to go an buy Apocalypse!

*THE GOOD: Good sense of speed, choice between routes according to car type makes it more tactical, stunning graphics, the game pushes you to take risks instead of playing it safe *THE BAD: Not much variation between game modes (everything comes down to racing as fast as possible and making NO mistakes. With or without other drivers), oversensitive physics cause you to crash even if it is not your own mistake

I accidentally overrated blur as a 10 in a previous review, this recieving a 9 would suggest it's worse, indeed its not at all. It's a fantastic game. Fluid and beautiful. I honestly think it's maybe the most delicious racer ever seen. Beats MS1 in my book as the former was full of idiotic turns that relied on trial and error to overcome. Exillarating and atmospheric. Ok now the gripes : It's too hard to be honest , it relies on the gamer to play a lot to get up to standard, I put it down for a week and when I got back on I couldn't win a race. Lastly I love the little ATV's they are my favourite and I used them a lot, but they are rubbish at handling and get nailed on any level except for the first. This forces the user to end up choosing between maybe one or two categories of car ( leaving the other redundant) . Overall superb though, grab some mates and have a festival of your own, this game and beer are meant for each other.

Owned this game for 3 months now.. Awesome game. Great graphics, Good control. Custom soundtracks. Photo mode. Looking forward to the next one..........

Great game online and off, shame it gets too damn difficult towards the end, which is the same **** the last one had. but still cant wait for the next installment.

Maxxed out in 3D (@720p), MotorStorm 3D Rift includes 10 tracks from the full MotorStorm Pacific Rift game. All tracks can be played in 3D (you'll need a 3D capable TV and a high-speed HDMI cable) or 2D. A very cheap buy from the PSN store but disappointing that you have to pay for it if you already have Pacific Rift (unlike a couple of other games that have free 3D patches/updates). The jumps, corners and crashes are simply amazing in 3D (The Edge track is superb) and it's the best 3D game out now (Super **** HD is a close second). If you have a 3D TV it's a MUST BUY!

I have given it a 9 because after a while it gets boring, however it will never get boring if you constantly have a friend round round who's motorstorm mad. In festival it is hard so you need to be very skilled to get to rank 8. I think if it would have had better online and more variety in cars and tracks so then i would have given it a 10. I think that in motorstorm apocalypse it will have better online and more variety so when i get that and review that i think I'll give it a 10. I think pacific rift is worth buying and i think it will be worth getting apocalypse in the future

a fun racing game that can screw you over alot with its chaotic track desighn . some tracks can make it hard to tell where you are going .you will think you are on the road yhen next thing you know you are warped back on the road , fall off a cliff , or just smash into some thing that just pops out of no where. you will find your self reseting alot because you got **** so much by that or at the start of the race the other cars will push you all over the place. some times not often though you will just explode for no reason. it makes me wish this game had a diffuculty setting so you could get more use to the tracks in this game . despite all that it is a fun game especialy online where you feel abit more balanced since you are racing with people who ahve the same issues you do. the game feels very arcady i feel like i should be pumping qaurters into this thing .the track varity is very nice the first motorstorm felt like all you ever raced in was just canyons . now you have tropical islands , valcano ash lands , winter mountains and many more. there is double the amount of tracks plus some expansion packs that add more. you have many different types of vehicles to drive in ranging from 4 wheelers to big rig trucks . i got this game off ebay for $18 which feels about right i dont think $60 woulda justifed a purchase of this game and im glad i waited . if you are a Gran Turismo fan and like your racers like that hold out for GT5 steering wheel support lots of cars and custimisation . this will keep me entertained for alittle bit but id much rather play GT5 for the deep racing experiance.
