MotorStorm

200685/100
Racing
MotorStorm was a visceral, arcade-style racer that reveled in its raw, untamed energy. The game's tracks, a brutal cocktail of mud, jumps, and vehicular carnage, became just as important as the vehicles themselves. Players returned for the thrill of forcing their way through the competition, all while wrestling with the dynamic terrain and the ever-present threat of a spectacular, fiery crash.

About MotorStorm

Details
Welcome to MotorStorm, the world's most brutal off-road racing event where the goal is to win at all costs. Choose from seven vehicle types, from high-flying dirt bikes to powerful big rigs, and destroy anything that gets in your way in a no-holds barred sprint to the finish. Try and survive. Real-Time Deforming Terrain: The terrain literally gets torn up with each passing vehicle, causing each lap to be different. Advanced particle effects cause debris and muck to "stick" to each vehicle. Vehicular Combat and Damage: Destroy anything that gets in your way. Smash your opponents and view spectacular Hollywood-style crash sequences. Take the Race Online: Intense head-to-head off-road racing. Challenge the competition over voice chat. AI opponents simulate human traits, like showing off, attacking, taunting, and doing whatever it takes to win.
