Sony MotorStorm Essentials

Brutal off-road racing evolves into a free-roaming mud bath.

MotorStorm offers a brutally intense off-road driving experience like no other. Deformable terrain and vehicles, coupled with the freedom to roam off track, create an exhilarating racing atmosphere. Seven classes of vehicle, including agile motocross bikes, rugged ATVs, maneuverable buggies, powerful racing trucks, lightning-quick rally cars, sturdy mudpluggers, and unstoppable big rigs, are waiting to tear up the virgin wilderness of the Arizona desert. All vehicles can compete at once in a restriction-free, no-holds-barred sprint to the finish, guaranteed to churn up the stunningly realistic environments into a frenzied and chaotic mud bath.

Opposing A.I. drivers will perform a unique range of stunts and employ different behaviors that allow them to react to numerous situations that arise during a race. This means they will not only react to your driving but will try to ram you off course and perform Hollywood-style stunts.

It isn't just about racing; MotorStorm is set around the biggest festival on earth - a week of racing, anarchy, and raucous music attracting hundreds of thousands of revellers to the desert.
