MikeB,
I agree that it's a successful introduction of a new IP. The bigger question still remains... what will people do when a sequel arrives? Will they be impressed enough by the original to buy the next installment, or will they be unimpressed by the first and decide to skip the next?
I've played the game at a friend's house, and it was fun for a while, but it didn't seem to have a lot of longevity. If Sony/Evolution really want to make this IP last, then they need to really pump up MotorStorm 2... provide a lot of tracks, new vehicles, etc., and then market it like crazy. That seems to be what catches the attention of the really avid racing fans out there.
Sony/Evolutions have their feet in the door, let's see what they do with the opportunity...
