    Graphics
    So the game plays like a dream, to be quite honest. But another big part of the enjoyment is the immersive, tangible world you race in, and that's thanks not just to the physical laws of the track, but the outstanding visual quality too.

    There's no question: all the neat touches they had in the questionable E3 2005 target trailer are pretty much present and respectable in some form or another in the real, final game. It's unbelievable and an absolute told-you-so victory for PS3, with some of the lushest, best-lit visuals we have seen to date.

    Environment
    The game's setting across all tracks is based on Arizona's Monument Valley, and digitised onto PS3 with an impressive feeling of scale and a sense of 'being there'. Before you select your motor or see a single tyre, the environment is one of the most detailed and convincing yet seen on a new hardware platform.

    Physics
    But the killer ingredient is the physics engine. Not in a stuffy, simulator way where you have to worry about what your tyres are made out of or what petrol you're using. But full-on environment, vehicle, driver and crash physics that add an unprecedented feeling of depth to the gameplay.

    The physics are everywhere. If you're hurtling along and just clip a small bit of tyre on the edge of an unfortunately positioned rock, get ready for a rough landing after a brilliant crash; you'll never just bump off a wall and carry on. Hit some barrels or a spare heavyweight tyre left laying around in the vast, object-rich environments, and they'll keep tear down the track for a hundred metres, believably and intimately bouncing on every part of rocky wall and uneven track, while the rag doll driver animation is the real deal here - watching in slow motion as a driver is thrown into a cliff before his own bike lands and crushes back onto his body, or as hundreds of vehicle parts explode into different directions, is spellbinding stuff.

    The game is alot like road rash, I love how I can give people the finger and, how I can punch someone and make the fall off the their bike.


    IMHO Lair will be the next killer PS3 game. It isn't even done and looks better then gears in some respects.

    Being quite the playstation fan, I'm actually not too trilled about it. If this game where to be released on Ps2 not too many people would buy it I think. It looks good now because it's the first racer on the new platform with good grahpics and physics. I think I'll wait for Burnout 5 in wich you can literally destroy other cars for good

    That game looks amazing.

    @Parusa, Burnout5 is not out. Won't be for a while. And it will be completely different to this game.

    how do you know, they said its comin the first half of 2007, so it will only be released about 2 months of motorstorm. Plus they are very similar expect for the terrain and bikes
