I thought the first Motorstorm was horrible anyway..so this game wasn't even on my radar. I do have Qore tho, and when I get home I'll probably at least check out the demo, but I don't expect much because IMO we didn't get much with the first.

I just played it this morning. It's very well done. Not sure what he is talking about.

Got a free demo code this morning and have to say I enjoyed it.

but the final game will be better

Has anyone that got the demo figured out how to use the motion steering? I have never played the original with the stick, and I could not figure out a way to use motion in this demo, and I hated it. With the motion the first game was one of the best arcade racers I have ever played. It was a feel I want from MS2. I know that this contorl style will be in the final game, but I wish the demo would have allowed me to try it out to make sure they didn't mess it up. If I get this and they have F'ed up the controls I can see my time with MS 2 being very short.

If you think Pure is better, (and I thought Pure was woeful), then Motorstorm 2 must be really bad.

I just played the Motorstorm demo and I thought it was pretty good. The graphics is in need of more polishing, but the controls felt right at home (punishes you for f'ing up a turn or jump, unlike the very forgiving learning curve of Pure). I like the addition of the new side crush moves the bestt. Unlike Pure, this game is supposed to be about choatic racing and taking advantage of environment around you. Pure is more of a casual trick-atv game (which isn't bad). The only thing that I wish ,was that Evolution used a lava or water stage instead of a rather simple jungle stage.

They will probably be keeping the bigger and better levels under wraps. I didnt know theres lava tho....

i wont be getting banjo if its mostly driving, and LO i traded it back in at the begining of dvd4 i thought it had gotten to boring.

its irrelevant to OT

I'd take Motorstorm over Pure based on demos. Pure felt very floaty and unrealistic for the driving physics - Motorstorm more realistic if less forgiving.

Also, got to lol at the 'this game is terrible!' reactions to one view before the game is even released. You take any game and I'll find you people who don't like it, etc. It's not that Leo-J's opinion is invalid, but its a little extreme to assume its going to be exactly representative of the majority.
