The original Motorstorm was an oddly controversial title. Odd because who ever considers racing games controversial? Still, Sony managed to make it just that by over hyping and delivering a disappointing demo that wasn’t quite up to the finished product.

Motorstorm was for many the first “gee whiz” title on the PlayStation 3.

So, palm trees racers can plow through? That’s exactly what Motorstorm was missing-destruction of the local environment. (more…)
