"More of the same" - but awesome

BUT:
The game is just extremely fun - and therefore degrades the previous points into insignificance.

The graphics are fast, colorful and varied. The damage model is almost as good as in Burnout Paradise. In addition, you can make the best photos accidents and send them to friends.
The track number has doubled from 8 to 16.
In the beginning you have to get to know the routes just as there are also many alternative routes.
Once that's gone but in flesh and blood, the fun can begin.
The different zones (Fire, Air, Earth and Water) the graphics are much more varied than in part one.
A new vehicle (Monster Truck) is also been added. It's just funny plattzuwalzen smaller vehicles with a monster truck.
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift is just a pure arcade racer.

The sound is also very well done - when you stand on rock and hard rock. 46 different pieces of music there - among others of Nirvana and Slipknot. So there is also a lot to the ears.

The control has not changed and is working fine.

One of the most important new features:
There is finally a split-screen mode so you can play for two or even four offline. Finally ! The has formally imposed already in Part One.
And the online mode is simply a stunner.
If you can push others off the track and it still moves out a first place at the last impression, the satisfaction is simply huge.
But even offline (singleplayer) moto fourth MotorStorm: Pacific Rift mercilessly. One reason for this is that one can win also Trophies (50).
There's even a separate menu item, where you can learn how long it will take roughly even to snatch the respective Trophy.
. For example, I had so far 74 accidents - at 250, there's a trophy etc.

Conclusion:
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift is reinventing the wheel is not new, but the game is just a lot of fun and the two main drawbacks of the first part (a few routes, no split screen) have been eradicated.
Anyone looking for a fun arcade racer without realism, but highly motivated, comes to Motorstorm: Pacific Rift you should not settle.
