"Only two months later(sony gamer day), the game is fun as hell, runs great and looks awesome. I'm not sure how the studio has come so far so quickly, but this is the sequel to MotorStorm that I've been waiting to see since the original's release.
Evolution has taken a lot of the complaints about the first title and revamped how things work this time around. Instead of being stuck with whatever rider is pre-assigned to each vehicle, you'll be able to choose your rider from a selection of characters, with more available as unlockable characters. You'll be able to swap characters in the new home/garage that you'll have access to from the festival.
