A luscious island paradise might seem suitable for a relaxing holiday, but it also makes an ideal venue for off-road racing. The follow-up to MotorStorm trades the desert for golden beaches and verdant jungles that are as dangerous as they are beautiful.
Stopping to admire the scenery is not a good idea The tracks left by other cars remain for the whole race The new four player splitscreen mode will be a party favourite MotorStorm remains one of the PS3’s best looking exclusives The basic setup of MotorStorm - Pacific Rift is familiar: 16 different drivers behind the wheel of vehicles ranging from monster trucks to speedy motorbikes. Race courses are only loosely laid out, and it’s completely up to you to pick the best route for your vehicle.
Take the easy route, and you risk getting shunted off a cliff by your rivals. Or you could risk everything on a more dangerous shortcut. Some may be disappointed that this isn’t much more than a change of scenery from the first game, but when it looks this good, that’s not much of a problem.

Product Reviews
Motorstorm = Fun
Motorstorm games aren't really rich with features and gimmicks, but they are always fun. Unlike the first one that didn't even have a split screen mode, Pacific Rift covers the basics. There are a LOT of car types, something for everyone. The tracks are very unique and won't leave you unsatisfied. When you mix that with great gameplay - you have a really good game on your hands
Stuff I liked:
Tracks are awesome, Great sellection of vehicles, Great gameplay, Good online
Stuff I disliked:
Not fun to play alone, Could use a few new and innovative modes
BOTTOM LINE: If you're into racing games, you shouldn't miss this one.
