Motorstorm PS3
MotorStorm is such a visual tour-de-force that it flat-out embarrasses the vast majority of racers that have preceded it. Gears of War may take the cake in the realm of stylized content, but MotorStorm easily edges it in terms of photorealism. It looks awesome. Nearly everything is spot-on, from the spectacular lighting to the dust and dirt that trail each vehicle. Though it does not display in 1080, the 720 visuals are crisp and clean (the above shot is from my TV), and totally free of flickering and jaggies.
The gameplay is supreme, both online and off. It’s like an off-road version of Burnout Revenge, and that is a very, very good thing. The physics and handling are incredible and make the experience highly enjoyable and addictive. As much as I’d like to moan about the slow loading times and the lack of split-screen multiplayer, its status as a first generation release means it’s not expected to be as extensive as a second-gen Xbox 360 game.
MotorStorm is great for what it is; and it’s only a first-gen PS3 title - the future looks very bright.

indeed! Playing this game on a projector has got to be the most intense gaming experience I’ve ever had. The visuals are so realistic that when you go flying of the edge of a cliff, you feel like it’s actually happening. The ability to pause mid collision and orbit around the wreckage that’s frozen in time is a really nice touch. Thanks Evolution.
