MotorStorm: Pacific Rift 2008

Is it still worth playing?

Evolution Studios' 2008 racing game for the PlayStation 3, the second MotorStorm, set on a lush island full of interactive vegetation. It has monster trucks, which drive over cars except big rigs, break most vegetation and destroy structures, and four player split screen. Bikes can bunny hop and their riders can duck, and you can use your own music from the PS3 hard drive. Speed events put checkpoints on each track that give you extra time before a timer runs out. Tracks run through mountainsides, beaches, jungles and caves, and water in rivers, pools and waterfalls can cool a vehicle's engine, which adds tactical choices. Each route is still a choice, between terrain you can plow through and water that cools your engine.
