Motorstorm: Pacific Rift (PS3)

The GOOD is the greater variety of tracks and vehicles and it is a lot of fun. I enjoy the offline multiplayer, a good addition. There are new physics which will annoy some people, I prefer Motorstorm 1 physics, but I am adapting.

The BAD; you cannot backup your save data and there are some major bugs, some of which corrupt your save file. So you will lose everything either through a game bug or when (not if - PS3 gamers know where I am coming from) your PS3 breaks down and find a lot of frustration when achievements go unrewarded.

It is potentially a very good game but I would avoid until EVO get some updates out, or accept that all that hard work could be undone or unrewarded in an instant.

Need For Speed: Undercover (PS3)

This is by far the best since the old days of Undergrounds and Most Wanted.

The graphics are amazing, and the selection of cars is much, much better than Midnight Club... The gameplay is excellent, drving is not hard but not easy, just right so tht it's a challenge but is very fun for genral free roam.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3)

I got this game with my PS3 40GB, and I thought it was astonishing. The graphics were really good, the cars were fast(after you unlocked them), the tracks were numerous, good looking, and fun. It was a big jump from my PS2 Pro Street. However; after a while, the cars started to look a bit plasticky, and when the cars crashed into a wall or another car, they didn't break, but stayed exactly the same. I thought this for thirty pounds was good, but I thought that the PS3 had more potential. I tried a few other racing games, such as Race Driver Grid, and they were awesome. The graphics looked better, and more realistic in Grid, and really crashed when I crashed. This game is now reduced to £18 pounds, but if you're looking for a really good car racing game for your ...

Pure (PS3)

Just to make it clear: this is not a Motorstorm ripoff. Yes, it features off-road racing. But, you have only ATVs to ride. Although, unlike MS you can customize your ATV in order to suit your driving style. You can not do it in MS, you can only chose vehicle type there.
Furthermore, you can perform tricks in this one - and this is integral part of the as tricks will give you boost, which comes for free in MS.
As for graphics, its extremely good. Myself being a software engineer and knowing PS3 specs, I am sure that devteam tried hard to pull off this level of detail. But I have to admit, that lack of split-screen is frustrating.
In short, if you are chosing between this game and MotorStorm, definetely go for MS. But if you are a racing fan then this ... Read More:

i think it is so good. I think the game is so realistic because when you have a crash it is just like in real life. If you have a massive crash you can not couninue with the race. I think it is very good.

MotoGP 08 (PS3)

October 24, 2008
When I heard that THQ were not going to make any more Moto GP games, I was bitterly disappointed, and presumed that either I would not get to see any more MGP games or it would fall into the hands of the wrong people. However, it fell into the hands of Capcom. Yes, that's right. The people behind Street Fighter, Resident Evil and many other brilliant titles. So, what does it feature? You can ride 125cc, 250cc or Moto GP bikes. The handling physics are brilliant and extremely accurate, even if at times the game physics are a bit 'iffy'. Career mode is excellent, but it seems strange that it only lasts for 5 seasons. When you are qhizzing along the track you get a real sense of speed, but collisions seem to be infrequent and the backdrops on some tracks are just non-existent. The difficulty ... Read More:

This game is awful. This is what we all feared the next gen may be like....All style no substance. They should have called this game, "PS3 graphical demo 1" So unintresting so unrealistic and downright shallow. I Played the first race and thought i'd rather pick out my eyelashes. Thats right the immence pain felt from pulling out eyelashes would not only be more benificial to your my time on earth it actualy feels better.
Give the money you could have bought this game with and give it to a homeless person...or a church or a donkey sanctuary....I couldnt care less what you do with your money but DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!

OVER AND OUT
