I got Motorstorm today, it's already out in Japan.
Let me say that I downloaded the demo from the US PlayStation Store and I was a bit dissapointed. Playing this full version though was something else.
Forget about the demo, the retail version is absolutely amazing.
I really like the atmosphere of the game. Road Rash meets Mad Max meets Burnout. Talking about Burnout and crazy crashes with damage modelling, Motorstorm beats Burnout in every possible way.
The Japanese version doesn't have online play, but I can't wait to get online with the US version. Graphics are amazing, gameplay is very good with all vehicles and menu's are very simple but they do their job. The music is not bad with Nirvana and Queens of the Stone Age, but there are two things that are wrong about the game.
-No edit mode (uploading avatars from pc and putting them on cars is something next gen should have)
-No music from HD (1995 Ridge Racer anyone?)
So it's not what's in the game that's bad, but what's missing.
Let's hope the sequel will have these features.
Bottom line: buy it on import now (you don't want to wait seriously) and buy the US version for online play which is going to be very, very cool.
