The unparalleled presentation MotorStorm dishes out certainly deserves praise, but it isn’t enough to hide a number of glaring omissions in its gameplay. Lacking several standard single and multiplayer features, the game feels somewhat shallow. At least the game makes up for this with the most compelling racing mechanics of any off-road title. Huge courses, branching paths, and true-to-life physics lend MotorStorm an intensity few other racings ever achieve. Even if it’s hard to escape the sense that it could have been more MotorStorm easily races to recommendation as one of the best early titles for PlayStation 3.
