Motorstorm: Apocalypse

i cant belive they sent you a review copy. that review was the worst review i have ever read. its was a moaning self centred load of spoilt brat remarks. you should really quit doing this

I think it's great to have differing reviews of any game. Good readers detect bias for what it is (bias) and some may even recognize a reviewer's spin / thoughts as something he/she himself may relate to. In other words, I'd have been quite okay with standard fare Motorstorm, just with new environments and a few less drastic "tweaks". Whether or not I like this reviewer's writing style, his thoughts sound kind of like how I think sometimes. So, before I delve much deeper into my own biases, this review results in nothing more (nothing less) than a "try before I buy" decision.

It doesn't suprise me that this site is unheard of. With reviewers like yourself, it's going nowhere fast. Terrible review from a bias or unbias point of view

@leary123 I git a testversion too and agree with Marcus. It's not as good as I hoped, yet a nice Game and at least a PS3 game featuring 4player offline multiplayer. But beyond its great presentation, it actually got its flaws

@leary123 Wow. A guy who can neither punctuate nor capitalise criticising one who can use obdurate correctly.

Yours was the worst pathetic anonymous forum post I have ever read, you should really quit doing this.

The review: I largely agree with.

Definitely going to be a try-before-buy. I loved the original MotorStorm but something about Pacific Rift didn't really keep me coming back for more like the original did. Apocalypse looks like it has winning credentials but judging from the reviews I've read it may be a bit sketchy.

I played this with a friend who managed to get hold of a copy a couple of days ago and to say it is jaw-dropping is an understatement.
It is intense on another level.
Did this dude play the same game because the review is a crime.

Ha ha, good review, has just stopped me pre-ordering it from Amazon UK, I will continue battling against the bitchin' AI of Pacific Rift and wait until the price comes down. Shame about the soundtrack which has just totally added to the sheer joy of mechanical mayhem and carnage in the previous two PS3 games.

Good one, Rod Todd, fanboy shot down in flames!

I agree the story is rubbish, but thats why you can just hit 'x' and load the next level, without watching the rubbish cutscene. No big deal there, surely its better than no story, but what the hay!
I'm hearing a lot of 'This isnt Motorstorm...Blah ...Blah'.
Can I ask what you expected of racing around in a city, apart from tarmac all the way! Driving at breakneck speeds, buildings falling down around you, massive explosions left right and centre etc. There is water to cool your engine and fire to overheat your engine, massive jumps & various routes. Also first few tries on a track, you'll be hitting everywall & anything else in the way.. This sounds just like motorstorm to me!

Anyhow 86% is a good score especially from someone who states they dont like the game! By the tone of the review I was expecting 70-75%.

P.s I loved the original MS & also the great game that was Pacific Rift.
