MotorStorm: Pacific Rift

[Sarathos]

The wild racing riot continues with the second entry in this fast-paced, down-and-dirty racing game. This second outing takes you to a solitary tropical paradise in the Pacific Ocean, ready for a whole new take on no-holds-barred racing action through thick swamps, dense jungle, towering peaks and steaming volcanoes. Not just pretty backdrops to the action, these environments take centre stage in challenging players with everything in Mother Nature’s arsenal. Thick mud, tangled undergrowth, swift flowing rivers, choking volcanic clouds and searing lava pools all test the drivers to their limits and beyond.

All of the vehicle classes from the first MotorStorm are here again: ATVs, rally cars, buggies, motorbikes, race trucks, mudpluggers and Big Rigs – as well as the newly arrived monster trucks that climb, sprint and roll over any other vehicle in their way. 16 players can race head-to-head online and, for the first time in the series, racers can hit the gas in four-player split-screen mode.

Well I can't say I am surprised, seeing the success and awesomeness of MotorStorm 1, a sequel was always going to be an option. Though will Pacific Rift overtake MotorStorm 1? I thank Evolution Studios for finally having offline mulitplayer, though will the jungle be a better race course than the desert?
