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.

That's one of the games I used to play in childhood and I loved it so much back then. I came back to this game a year ago and wow.
Graphics are still looking pretty great for a 2006 game; physics are solid, maybe a bit exaggerated, but thanks to that it feels really chaotic; soundtrack is perfect but short, so it feels repetitive after some time unfortunately. Also BOOST mechanic is great, may be it is easy, but game rewards you for good usage of it.
There are different kinds of cars, from which each has their own pros and cons, and they behave differently depending on track surface, which is great, but it doesn't matter that much because at only one track you have a freedom of choice of what vehicle would you like to drive.
Track are mostly fun as a lot of them has some shortcuts which is rewarding. Also game rewards you for mastering the track and good BOOST mechanic usage, as AI is becoming harder and harder to race over time. Unfortunately there are only nice tracks in-game, so it isn't diverse, considering that on some track you are racing more often.
Talking about AI... That's weird. I find that they are too rubber-band, as when you crash one or two times you fall behind them, which is very frustrating, but on the other side I like their aggresiveness, craziness and that you can hard race with them. It adds to that chaotic vibe of that game which is really cool.
The progression becomes pretty boring, apart from new vehicles and some tracks, game doesn't offer new modes like elliminator or time trial or something like that. I think it might add some variety to the gameplay.
Handling for an arcade racing game is quite good, but despite the feeling of weight of a vehicle, I think that some types feel "cardboardy", especially cars.
Summing up, Motorstorm is still very fun game to play with various vehicles and fun gameplay, it just lacks some more content like more event types or more tracks, AI sometimes feels inconsistent and maybe restricted choice of vehicle at majority of races.

Leave You Far Behind de Lunatic Calm empieza a sonar
A MotorStorm le debo mi interés por los coches, los todoterrenos, los rallies, y mucho más. Recibir este juego de pequeño fue una bendición de los dioses para crear un niño que se flipa cuando un coche chulo por la calle.
Ojala ponerle un 5/5, MotorStorm tiene un pedazo de ambiente, soundtrack, y selección de coches, y aunque limitado, la selección de circuitos posee muchas rutas alternativas para que adaptes tu ruta al tipo de vehículo que conduces; las motos van por la arena y los camiones por el barro; lo que los hace memorablemente rejugables. Tristemente, MotorStorm no posee mucha más historia que "eres un matao que sube de liga corriendo y ganando", y no tiene ningún tipo de narrativa, pues más bien se centra en las divertidas carreras que produce el juego.
Tampoco le puedes sacar mucho más al juego una vez te pasas todas las carreras y desbloqueas todos los coches.
Todavía sigo buscando un juego parecido a esto, la experiencia MotorStorm fue inolvidable e incluso pude rejugarmelo con una sonrisa imborrable en la cara, ojalá a Sony se le ocurra revivir esta saga con un remake o una cuarta entrega, daría mi recién nacido si se me diese la oportunidad.

Fun arcade racer, physics can be punishing and wonky at times causing some frustration but it's redeemed by well designed tracks and unique setting
While initially an exciting racer, the strict requirements for progressing combined with the floatiness of the controls creates an incredibly frustrating experience. Nerves and a temper of steel are a must for this one.
