  MotorStorm:Pacific Rift PS3 Review

  Race around on mind-blowing tracks in vehicles of your choice

  Great off-road racing, large number of vehicles to choose from, impressive multiplayer package, top-notch visuals

  Dull background score, no vehicle customization

The vehicle destruction sequences are amazing; every part of your bike/car is blown into small pieces, with you left behind to pick them up. There is a new photo mode that lets you click yourself after a crash. You can do it at any point in the race, but it's good fun when you click your crashes.

There are about 16 tracks in the game, most of which are well designed. The tracks are huge, and every time you race, you come across a new path or shortcut, adding huge replay value to the game. For those of you who haven't played the first game, let me tell you about the track deformation. The tracks are clearly defined for heavy and light vehicles, so sticking to your course is very important. The heavy vehicles will mutilate the path they cross, creating huge depressions in the muddy tracks, flattening vegetation, and so on. To be honest, it hardly makes a difference, but I would suggest sticking to your path as passing through a river or stream on a bike is quite painful.
