“…oh just look at that AIR WOOHOOO!!”
Ok, so you can tell I just played the ‘Motorstorm: Pacific Rift‘ demo. You know, I’ve never considered myself a racing enthusiast. Not in gaming, much less in real life. Yet the pure, visceral feeling I get every time when speeding aboard a nimble motorcycle (or racing truck) across a wood ramp the size of my house and getting blasted into oblivion as a result, is, well…ridiculously orgasmic.
Addicting, too. The game offers the right amount of challenge, forcing you to replay the multi-layered track a couple of times to learn its quirks and danger zones (no “invisible walls” here: you just get thrown off a massive cliff if you don’t approach a turn correctly), and you’ll want to replay it. You’ll feel the need to nab that pole position from all those motherfuckers invading your vehicle space. Motor parts fly over you, a racer’s body gets trampled by the wheels of a monster truck ahead…it’s off-road, crazy vehicle carnage, and I fucking love it.
It’s as superficial as it gets, I know, but sometimes it is good to appease that careless maniac inside of you. Only sometimes…
‘Motorstorm: Pacific Rift’ arrives in stores October 28. I’ve attached the latest trailer below for your viewing pleasure. Thanks for reading. : )
