Create carnage with a Mudplugger or crush competitors with a Monster Truck there are eight different vehicle types to race with and against in MotorStorm® Pacific Rift for PS3
This could be the closest youll ever get to brutal off-road racing and its back exclusively on PLAYSTATION®3 with eight different vehicle classes to tear up tracks with - including the introduction of the colossal new Monster Truck. MotorStorm® Pacific Rift from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe is the furious follow up to the PS3® launch smash-hit, this time set on an unforgiving tropical island where adrenalin junkies and off-road bandits get to take on 16 brand-new tracks through land, sea, fire and air.
There are eight vehicle classes to choose from spanning big, small, fast and monstrous vehicle types, each with their own off-road pros and cons. While bigger vehicles can tear through the jungle undergrowth and flatten smaller competition, more compact vehicles can cruise around tough spots and maintain balance when teetering on the edge of cliff sides and volcanic lava pools. Whatever your vehicle of choice, the race will always be brutal, and a driver must be quick-witted, alert, and completely ruthless in order to win this competition.
The brand new Monster Truck is a force to be reckoned with! Its monstrous wheels can rip through all surfaces vegetation, swamps, rocks and more. But this towering giant does have one weakness: sharp corners. Take a turn too fast and youre in for a crash! For sheer brute power, Big Rigs are large, loud and practically unstoppable. The secret to driving a Big Rig is to build up speed and maintain it.
Mudpluggers are designed to barrel through mud, and their real strength is in the big wheels and heavy-duty suspension. Speed is going to be a problem so make the most of muddy patches when others are forced to slow down. The Racing Truck is a great all-rounder with no particular strengths or weaknesses. Racing Trucks can handle most track surfaces and can even hold their own against larger vehicles.
Rally Cars are all about speed and although stable, they are quite fragile and contact with anything larger than an ATV can cause real damage. Try to avoid collisions and keep your foot firmly on the gas! Meanwhile, Buggies are perfect for desert landscapes: theyll chew up sandy beaches and make short work of other uneven surfaces. Buggies offer superior handling on rough terrain and carry enough weight to knock Bikes and ATVs out of the way.
ATVs are more stable than Bikes but theyre not quite as agile and, like Bikes, they dont perform well in mud or water. Bikes are nimble and quick but theyre extremely fragile, so its best for riders to avoid conflict with bigger vehicles wherever possible. When alongside another Bike or ATV, feel free to throw some punches at your opponent!
With 16 multi-route tracks, online play for up to 12 players, 4-player split-screen, Trophy support and additional downloadable content from PlayStation®Network, get ready for some wet, wild and totally reckless fun when MotorStorm Pacific Rift hits shelves this Autumn, exclusive to PS3.
