    It ain't a revolution, folks, but racing on ice probably isn't something you're going to get to do in real life, so you take what you can get. Read more

    Ultimately, the MotorStorm hasn’t suffered a bit from the switch to the portable format, in fact it seems to suit it quite nicely. There’s plenty of race modes to keep solo players happy for hours on end, but the online multiplayer is obviously a hit and miss affair. Read more

    It's a testament to Arctic Edge's intricate tracks and energetic racing that its notable problems are so easy to overlook. Aside from its online issues, this is what you'd expect from a MotorStorm game in portable form, and the multifaceted courses and vehicle variety provide plenty of reasons to keep returning, even after you've completed the Festival. If you want to kick up some snow and dirt, this is a fun way to do it. Read more

    One of Sony’s most recent new IP’s that has arrived with the advent of the PlayStation 3 is the off-road and brutal racer, MotorStorm . The original release that came with the launch of the console was quite good we thought, with spectacular visual clarity and some great gameplay to boot. The second title released at the end of last year improved pretty much in every aspect , and brought the game so much closer to that original target trailer released way back in 2005. Read more
