Where to buy
MotorStorm was officially released in Japan on December 14, 2006, where it became the best-selling PlayStation 3 game. MotorStorm was released on March 6, 2007 in North America; in Europe, it launched alongside the PlayStation 3 on March 23, 2007. Both the North American and European versions include online play, which was not included in the Japanese release. Online play for Japan is not intended to be an update.
A sequel, MotorStorm 2, was announced on March 7, 2007.
Gameplay
The events of the game take place at the MotorStorm Festival in the Monument Valley. The goal of the game is to win a series of off-road races and to be the overall winner of the MotorStorm Festival. Players are in control of seven different types of vehicles throughout the game including rally cars, big rigs, dirt bikes, ATVs, racing trucks, buggies and mudpluggers. Each race requires the player to choose a particular vehicle type and often race against many of the other vehicles. Every track has many different racing lines, each catering to a specific class of vehicle thereby making the racing field even. The events in the game are created using real-time technology, such as the mud effects, tire marks, and crashes.
Each track is filled with a variety of jumps, bumps, cliffs, ledges, mud pits and obstacles. Races are generally three-lap events against with two to twelve racers. The track experiences real-time deformation, making each lap different from the last. Larger vehicles can create large holes or leave ruts that can easily upset smaller, lighter vehicles, and every vehicle responds differently to different track environments. Vehicles like big rigs and mudpluggers get excellent traction in mud, whereas lighter vehicles like dirt bikes and ATVs will slip and slide.
Updates
One update has been released for MotorStorm, and another will be released in the near future.
Downloadable content
In recent interviews, Sony developers have said there will be downloadable content coming—significant changes such as tracks, vehicles, characters, and modes.
