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.
If you’re going to design a cartoon racing game, it should be required by law that one level takes place on a roller coaster track. Really, is there anywhere you’d rather race?

Is it the spark of originality that Mario Kart needs to keep from getting stale? Click on the image for a full sized version.
It doesn’t show much, and what it does show looks obviously not from the game. Still, the mere thought of a potentially good Speed Racer (one has not been made since the days of the original PlayStation) has funs all in a flutter.

That’s fine, as long as you get buzz saws in the front of the car, right?
