As the name "PACIFIC" Rift suggests, everything happens in a nonetheless Grand Island world. And in perfect HD quality (720p)
On 16 different routes on a each other "part of the island" (volcanic landscapes, beach areas, craters, mountains, cliffs, jungle) it is important to pursue his enemies mercilessly and sweep off the track!
This works best, of course with a good "Arsenal" of vehicles.
These are available in 8 vehicle categories divided each, as in many other racing games, have different properties!
Among them are, for example motorcycles, buggies, quads, rally cars, monster trucks, etc ...
Also on the tactical use of cars in special routes should be taken. Example: On a track on which a lot of water is (small rivers, streams, ....) you should not necessarily by whiz by motorbike. ;-)
The degree of difficulty is very fair. Frustrating moments, there are at most times in the mode "Hardcore" ;-).
Otherwise, the various routes invite you to play again and again!
Also worth mentioning is the magnificent soundtrack of an addition to the hair-raising race anyway, just under its spell!
In addition to various "open race" and "Time Attack" may of course also the
"Festival" - (Event, career) race is not missing! Here it is in various "zones" (Earth, Wind, Fire, Air) to let his opponents far behind to emerge finally as a champion!
CONCLUSION:
A perfect, perhaps the, racing game par excellence! "Pacific Rift" makes on the PS3 just a hell of fun which offers a fantastic HD graphics and offers many hours of fun!
In this sense:
