Because I just feel the need to put myself even more financial pressure, I downloaded Motorstorm Arctic Edge (and more) for the PSP early today. Expensive but I'm glad I got it.
It's a racing game in fairly open tracks with multiple routes, all set in cold, snowy environments. There's a massive variety of vehicles from motorbikes to giant snowplows. And it's really good fun.
It is one of the best looking games I've ever seen on the PSP. To me, it looks amazing. The environments are really detailed and far more solid than most PSP games, the snow and ice effects are gorgeous and it generally has a layer of polish that reaches beyond what I usually see on the system.
Soundtrack is just typical licensed tracks. You either like them or you don't. So far, I like some of them. Nice to have the Prodigy in there.
But the fun is all in the game itself. A very loose, rough, off-roading racing game. It's fast and fun. With the open tracks, it's easy to just get lost in the adventuring of it and that's when I realise there's a drop right beside me that may lead to another section of track or may lead to a bottomless chasm. So far, there's a bit of variety with races but also some checkpoint challenges and it looks like the large choice of vehicles will keep things even more interesting.
Given that I'm struggling with Gran Turismo and I really can't find where there's any actual fun in that game, I got this game just when I needed it. This is actually enjoyable and that's always a nice thing to have in a game.
