Motorstorm Apocalypse: Game Review
Motorstorm Apocalypse
Released
by Sony
Platform: PS3
Back to the heady world of racing we go - this time though, with a mix of
motion comics and street racing.
But essentially this is street racing with an ever changing environment
requiring you to adapt and lose the race.
Set against the backdrop of Apocalypse's MotorStorm Festival, you race as one
of three participants, labelled Mash "The Rookie", Tyler "The Pro", and Big Dog
"The Veteran"; across a series of terrains and a growing number of bikes, cars,
trucks et al.
But as the races progress, the difficulty level increases; and the cityscapes
you race around change as they begin to crumble and fall apart in keeping with
the apocalyptic tone of the game.
Motorstorm Apocalypse is an all right sort of racing game; graphically, it's
an odd mix using motion comics to tell the story is akin to watching an anime
cross with a Gorillaz video; but when it comes to the gameplay, there's little
radical on show. Sure you get to boost around the track but have to soon realize
that could lead to over heating and explosions; so that means any acceleration
has to be done in small bursts to ensure you make it to the end of the track in
a qualifying position.
Sadly there's no in game map making it difficult to gauge where your
competitors are - which makes it somewhat tricky to plan manoeuvres or any kind
of race track strategy.
Disposable fun Motorstorm Apocalypse it may be - and an addition of
multiplayer adds to an element of fun and competition- but once you complete the
tracks, there's little incentive or reward to go back and finish first and claim
anything - other than bragging rights.
Rating: 7/10
