If you tend to buy the first MotorStorm to get yourself familiar with the game than drop this idea.As good as the original MotorStorm is, it's no comparison to its sequel.MotorStorm: Pacific Rift is a great racing game, but more than just a racing game.The game was improved with even more alternative routes when racing.The graphic is excellent, and the interactions with objects such as smashing into a branch are more accurate.MotorStorm: Pacific Rift is also more realistic such as water cooling off your boost, and smaller vehicles not able to go to certain routes such as deep water.

MotorStorm: Pacific Rift has about 80 races, or more.All categorized into four distinct parts of the island: Earth Zone (basic land fields), Air Zone (expect lots of jump lifts), Fire Zone (lava lands), and Water Zone (beach etc).You will find about twenty-four races in each of the four zones.Some are basic races, some timed races, and some eliminator races where racers are being eliminated while racing (you don't want to be in the back).

You will also obtain points, and gain PS3 trophies for your performances in the game.Unlike its predecessor you are able to play in split screen with your peers if you have additional controllers.One of the many extras in MotorStorm: Pacific Rift is your ability to take pictures of your race (pause, and snap).The good thing about this feature is that you'll be able to snap a picture on any angle since you'll be able to move, zoom in and out, before snapping your pictures that will all be saved in your gallery.MotorStorm: Pacific Rift also has an improved online gaming where you can text/voice/video chat, and invite your PS3 friends who also own the game.

Cons: unfortunately absent in both the first, and Pacific Rift, there are no replays of your race.Hopefully this will be present if they make a third, but this shouldn't be a reason not to buy this game.

Even More Vehicle Classes and Tracks
Pacific Rift ships with eight car classes: the seven from the original game (Bikes, ATVs, Buggies, Rally Cars, Racing trucks, Mud Pluggers and Big Rigs) all reproduced in new forms, as well as the new Monster Truck class. Big, but not as big or powerful as a Big Rig, Monster Trucks are surprisingly fast for their size and are able to roll over most other classes of vehicle and virtually any vegetation they encounter.

The game's list of playable tracks has also been doubled to 16 and are categorized along the lines of the elements and the different environmental zones are found on the island. These zones are:


    The Air Zone - Tracks high up in the mountain and featuring lots of big jumps.
    The Fire Zone - Track oozing with new land and pools of lava that come from the island's resident volcano.
    The Water Zone - Here players will find courses laid out along the the beaches and other water sources of the island.
    The Earth Zone - The typical rough, rocky mud-filled off-road courses similar to the tracks found in the original game.
Multiplayer Modes
In addition to the wild, anything goes singleplayer festival mode players of theoriginalMotorstorm game will remember and relish, Motorstorm PacificRift also provides addictive multiplayer modes for both online and local play.These include the same rampaging, music injected, 12-player online support asthe first game, as well as multiplayer options for local action up to four players.Play in local multiplayer modes are further enhanced by new four-player splitscreen functionality that when used in conjunction with the game's 720p HD videooutput ensures clarity no matter how fast racers are moving or how much mud theyare throwing up.
