MotorStorm: Pacific Rift

200880/100
Racing
Pacific Rift traded the arid landscapes of the first MotorStorm for a tropical island, but kept the core of its appeal: brutal, arcade-style racing across wildly varied terrains. Players battled for position in a chaotic field of ATVs, bikes, trucks, and buggies, each vehicle type excelling in specific conditions and offering a distinct feel. The series' signature boost mechanic, which demanded careful heat management to avoid exploding your engine, elevated the moment-to-moment action beyond simple pedal-to-the-metal thrills.

About MotorStorm: Pacific Rift

Details
The first MotorStorm wowed fans with its heady formula of brutal, unpredictable off-road racing, festival vibes and stunning Monument Valley desert scenery. Now Motorstorm Pacific Rift takes you to a solitary tropical paradise in the Pacific Ocean, ready for a whole new take on no-holds-barred racing action through thick swamps, dense jungle, towering peaks and steaming volcanoes. Not just pretty backdrops to the action, these environments take center stage in challenging players with everything in Mother Nature's arsenal. Thick mud, tangled undergrowth, swift flowing rivers, choking volcanic clouds and searing lava pools all test the drivers to their limits and beyond. Expect a rich festival of off road racing, along with a host of game modes and rewards. It's brutal, dangerous, relentless, and unpredictable and more than a game - MotorStorm Pacific Rift is a way of life.
