Motorstorm: Difference between revisions

So far, there have been four games in the series:

 

* '''''MotorStorm: Pacific Rift'' (2008):''' The first sequel moved the gameplay onto a South Pacific island, sending players through beaches, [[Jungle Japes|jungles]], [[Lethal Lava Land|volcanoes]], an abandoned sugar factory, and even a volcano-ravaged small town. Introduced here were monster trucks, which could drive over the competition, and water and fire physics -- driving through water would cool down your car, while going through burning hot areas will cause your heat gauge to go up faster when you boost. While not as big a hit as the first game, it still sold a cool million copies while enjoying acclaim for fixing many of its most glaring problems.

** '''''MotorStorm: 3D Rift'' (2010):''' A downloadable [[Updated Rerelease]] of ''Pacific Rift'' designed to take advantage of 3D technology. It is smaller than the original game, featuring only ten tracks (out of sixteen) and some of the vehicles.

* '''''MotorStorm: Apocalypse'' (2011):''' The latest game moves the action from rally racing in the wilderness to street racing in a big city... but with a twist. As its name suggests, ''Apocalypse'' takes its cues less from ''[[Need for Speed]]'' and ''[[The Fast and the Furious]]'', and more from [[Roland Emmerich]] and [[Irwin Allen]]. The city is in the throes of a massive earthquake that is destroying it piece by piece, sending the racers through [[Earthquakes Cause Fissures|earthquake fissures]], [[Scenery Gorn|collapsing buildings]], [[Giant Wall of Watery Doom|tsunamis]] and [[Stuff Blowing Up|explosions galore]]. The new vehicle classes -- [[Cool Car|muscle cars, supercars]], [[Fragile Speedster|superminis]], [[Badass Biker|choppers and superbikes]] -- are all designed to race in the new urban environments.

** While it enjoyed the same critical acclaim as its predecessors, it wound up suffering from a ''massive'' case of [[Too Soon]] in the wake of the 2011 Japanese earthquake, which adversely affected its release in many markets and is likely to blame for its very disappointing sales performance.
