MotorStorm Bash 'N Crash Gameplay
This is why I’m not trying not to get my panties in a bunch about the PS3 and doing my best to be patient until I can get one for something less than the cost of a taupe track mansion: a sick-looking driving game that I can suck at (there’s never been a driving game at which Le Tiny did not suck, saving F-Zero, which doesn’t count) whilst enjoying beautifully rendered high-definition graphics.
The gameplay looks fun, especially the motorcycle bits, the cool slo-mo crashes and the deformable cars. If you’re any good at racing games, I imagine MotorStorm will be a gas. On the other hand, should you suck, well…it still looks fun.
Cuz if you’re gonna suck, do it pretty.








You can play a MotorStorm demo in most places that have a display PS3, like best buy. I played it, and was thoroughly unimpressed. There was a small group of about four people checking out what the big deal was before the store closed on the night before the Wii launch. Between the four of us, the car managed to glitch through a ramp 4 times in a half hour. The gameplay turned out to be rather bland, and the only real cool part about the game was the crash effects. Cars blew apart into dozens of different parts in high definition. Of course, it’s hard to think of it as realistic when the thing you hit was a spectator who wasn’t even fazed. Plus, it would be awesome if you could fly off of that cliff you’re driving next to and watch your car explode into hundreds of tiny HD parts, but you’ll automatically respawn if you go off at all.
The gameplay was approximately 34 times less interesting than the Wii’s Excite Truck, and about 48 times less fun.
