MotorStorm: Survive The Apocalypse With 3D Style
MotorStorm: ApocalypseBecause 2011 is so densely populated with unbelievable games, it might be easy to overlook something like MotorStorm: Apocalypse.
But that would be a huge mistake, especially if you're a racing fan and/or a fan of the series in question. You may require more information before committing to a purchase decision, though, so check out the latest Game Informer update: if you didn't already know, Apocalypse takes place in a busted-up urban environment with plenty of dynamic, destructible action. And yeah, there's a bit of a story, too. "A community of thrill seeking speedsters has decided to spend their last days ripping up the uneven pavement in the midst of the city's chaotic collapse." Evolution has the plot scripted out in the form of comic book-like cut-scenes; you can choose to control one of three characters, each of whom sport a different skill level and must defeat different opponents in different locales. All of the vehicles from past entries in the series will return and they're adding super bikes and muscle cars for extra flavor.
But perhaps the most appealing factor is the chaotic destruction. New natural disasters will rip through the city as you're flying through it, and once the catastrophe takes place, there ain't no going back. This means courses will be changed depending on what happened, and you'll always have to adapt to your surroundings. Lastly, let's not forget about the 3D effects, which are reported to be "subtler" than in other 3D presentations you may have seen. Overall, the game boasts 40 races and new challenge modes, along with 16-player online races and offline split-screen fun. If that's not worth $60...well, what is?

I remember reading or hearing about racing during a tornado, with debris, winds and rain all getting thrown your way. Sounds freakin awesome.

Anyway, this is not a new IP Scarecrow. My experience with the first two tells me to hold off.
The reviews, that you think don't matter, actually help me to see whether or not "part 3" has made the improvements I want in the game.

The authenticity of the vehicle types remains one of the most amazing things about Motorstorm.
You will feel the weight of a big rig, the amazing handling of an ATV, and the stableness of a buggy.
Can't wait to race in these evolving environments. Big rally fan here, this will definitely fit the bill.
Oh, Motorstorm = ps3's best lighting. Maybe only second to Littlebigplanet.

I've previously heard the 3D is far more pronounced than other implementations of 3D such as in KZ3, only because Sony Liverpool/Evolution Studios have been Sony's R&D for 3D for a while now and since inception.
Ben's article mentions it as more "subtle", so they may have scaled back the 3D from when I heard of it (which was earlier last year).
This game really is a revolutionary racer, and fans of Road Rash, and previous MotorStorms should be elated. I know I am.

i just hope they improve on the 3D effects over motorstorm 3D rift.
its got by far the best 3D effects so far, but its still not really that noticeable.
you get a little smoke and dirt sort of leaking out the TV, but you dont get the fast in your face movement i was expecting.
plus thats all you really get, a little smoke and dirt i was expecting bits of car to come flying at ya.
like a few times i slammed into a wall, sparks came flying out but they were not in 3D, and a bumper flew off but nor was that in 3D.
whats the point of playing games in 3D if all your going to get is a little smoke?
i can get plenty of smoke poring out of my TV without the need of glasses thank you very much!
