Motorstorm 1 was brilliant how many games allow you to do a barrel roll in your vehicle land it and keep going it's the most fun you can have in a motor vehicle most other driving games are Boring compared to motorstorm the collisions the rolls the damage, ramming other cars off a cliff are awesome.

Motorstorm 2 with split screen is the Ps3's answer to Mario Kart Wii - It's the only game i am considering buying this year !.

It will be brilliant for having a few friends over as a party game with the split screen, and the motion steering is really easy for new players to use.

They have some off screen footage of the game and it looks pretty cool, but I thought that a couple of areas on the track may be a little hard to navigate from having too much green. Didn't see any crashes though (no slow motion stuff since it looked like it was an online match) despite the guy flipping the vehicle over which results in what you're driving exploding into chunks in the first one.

Lastly, at the top left of the screen, it says "Pre-Alpha 40% complete".
