I disagree, some of the levels look awesome.

I just got the game and played it for 35 minutes straight! Taking a break now but the game is awesome!

The mixed reviews are a fucking travesty. Along with Wipeout HD, MS2 is one of the best racing games I've played over the past couple of years. MotorStorm is so misunderstood... :(

Ground textures sometimes look good up close, but pull the camera out and they all look great :) Especially the sand:

I think I'd give it 8.8/10

Isn't the original MS the best selling PS3 game? I wonder how this'll hold up, I mean, they couldn't choose a worse time (releasing it in November and all) :/

Best selling because of bundles. MS has too much PS3 competition to be in a bundle now.

I attribute 40 % of the lower scores to MS1 backlash and the remaining 60 % to reviewer group think/Gamerankings checking.

You know, the Air and fire levels can look kind of ugly - and in that sense I agree with Edge. But Evolution's lighting is so incredible - I might add one of the best lighting engines in games...and it can make even the ugliest level look wowsome:

9.0-ish or so, personally (A- in my review). It's not a game for everyone, but to say that it looks horrible, has bad controls, and terrible track designs is ridiculous. Evolution took on nearly everyone's complaints and all they get is more complaints in return.

Seems like some reviewers played the demo, played the first couple of events, and wrote a review.

Where's your review?

And I haven't read anyone say terrible track design, or even horrible controls.

I do think there's a problem in the campaign progression. Has problems feeling fresh. I think they wasted the tracks, could've released them slower. More event types as well would have been good.

Played for 2 1/2 hours and completed the first two ranks.

I would easily give this game 95%, havent had so much fun playing a game for some time. Sure this isnt for people who like to drive in circles for hours in hyperrealistic cars, but an average of 80% is a fucking joke.

The inter-verhicle physics seem to be toned down a little, thats my only gripe. But its so small compared to all the improvements. Variety in and between tracks is soooo great.

Some textures are pretty low res, yep, but you only notice when crashing, when racing you just see beautiful vistas and so much is going on.

I haven't played anything beyond the demo yet. I want to get the game but because of all the other games coming out I have to wait on this one.....but for anyone to say this game looks horrible is insane. I have seen nothing but amazing videos and pics for this game and personally can't wait to get the game.

There is a party system. We can just fill out the party. I'll check if you can lock rooms and such though. I wanted gaf to do this for MS1 but people seemed to hate the online mode with a passion. There is no excuse now :D

Like every saturday at 8pm est, the lunatics of gaf unite. Then I'd push myself to practice more lol.

I think they look worse than what you see while playing. Each time I pause the game the motion effects are gone. Like blur and dust? The lack of aliasing is from the pics being resized. It seems to be direct image, nothing is added.

actually.... I was hoping Sony could use this engine to create a new Jet Moto game... when you drive the motorbikes, its very similar. It also has the similar sounds for turbo's as well.

speaking of which.... I plan on using some of Jet Moto's soundtrack like this right here for the Sky Levels....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfbpkmkvuHg&feature=related

and using some of Twisted Metal 3's Rob Zombies tracks for the rest of the levels..... like this track right here...

WaterStorm or HydroStorm sound cool.

Jetskis, Powered boats, Speed boats and some yachts (lol) should include the wacky racing.

This game is awesome, but my one problem is more with the universal custom soundtracks. They're great and all, it's just after seeing the 'd-pad for music control' in the menu option, I thought that would be for custom soundtracks. I hope that game specific custom soundtracks don't go away like they did on the Xbox (well, they were never on the 360, just on the original xbox). There is no music distortion either.
