You need to pick up on the nuances
November 26, 2008
Racing in MotorStorm Pacific Rift is also a lot more strategic than it was in the first game, and probably more than it is in any other racing game. Each track has multiple routes that you can take, and these routes vary in ground surface, elevation and length. And that's where the game's different vehicle classes come in. Just like in the first game, you have motorcycles, ATVs, buggies, rally cars, racing trucks, mudpluggers, and big rigs at your disposal. Joining the ranks for the sequel is the monster truck, the vehicle that creates its on path as it tears through the terrain, effortlessly crushing opponents on the way.
Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your vehicle is the key to success. While motorcycles and ATVs are ideal for narrow paths and elevated sections, monster trucks and big rigs are much better suited to level terrains with fewer jumps. Alternately, the bigger vehicles can venture through water without slowing down too much, while bikes and ATVs will lose momentum fast. Knowing these little nuances is important when the time comes to pick alternate routes and can very well make the difference between first and second place, particularly in the latter stages of the Festival mode, where the AI really ups its game.
