Eariler than expected, we present to you the first trailer for Motorstorm 2. A refreshing change from the deserts, but full of the body pumping action of the original. We also have the first juicy details, including double the original game’s tracks.

That’s right. Even though Motorstorm had multidirectional tracks – with a possibility of three different routes, 8 tracks always felt a bit sparce. The sequel has 16 tracks, and this time you’re going to be driving on a remote Pacific Island alongside lush green foliage, mountainous peaks, flowing rivers, volcanic clouds, lava and scrumptious mud.

Monster trucks will make an appearance this time too, and it’s going to be tough fighting your way through the course against those beasts. 4 player split screen and 16 player online also make their way to the sequel.

Even though the trailer is CGI, it does offer a glimpse at the new gorgeous environments, and the promise of further destructability. Why not have a gander. Oh and before I forget, Motorstorm 2 will be released this Autumn.

Awesome! shajir on March 12, 2008 11:22 pm By any chance, is there a possibility for a review on Burnout Paradise for PS3 at Ripten..? You guys are the best reviewers as far as I have seen on the net for PS3 games.. Keep up the good work guys… :) vine on March 13, 2008 7:39 pm that trailer looks like is was rendered with CryEngine2. In fact the setting of the game would suggest a CryEngine2 license. RSS feed for comments on this post.
