Closing Comments
I could prattle on for another thousand words about how much I love the level design of some of the tracks or how the handling just feels right for all the vehicles, but these are things you'll end up discovering for yourself when you plunk down the change for the UMD or downloadable version -- and you absolutely should. This is MotorStorm, in its entirety, in a wholly new setting but without losing anything that made the series so damn fun on the PS3. Without a doubt, this is one of the best racing games you can find on the PSP. Go buy it.
IGN Ratings for MotorStorm: Arctic Edge (PSP)
| Rating | Description |  |
|---|---|---|
| out of 10 | click here for ratings guide |
|
| 9.0 | Presentation Fantastic visuals, the same CG clips running behind all the menus, and a sense that you really are part of a massive festival are all communicated perfectly. |
|
| 9.0 | Graphics Though the framerate can dip a bit during heavier scenes, it's a minor change at best and normally the game is nice and smooth. |
|
| 8.5 | Sound Though it'll sound a bit chaotic without headphones (and even with them on this is still an aurally aggressive game), the engine sounds and soundtrack are great. |
|
| 9.0 | Gameplay MotorStorm through and through. No, it's not doing anything especially new, but what's here is a carbon copy of the big screen experience. |
|
| 8.5 | Lasting Appeal You'll find a ton of stuff to unlock and customize vehicles with, and the Festival Mode alone will take weeks to finish. |
|
| 9.0 |
OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average) |
