MotorStorm is a racing video game developed by Evolution Studios and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the Sony PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system. It was first announced at E3 2005. The events of the game take place at the MotorStorm Festival in the Monument Valley. The goal of the game is to win a series of off-road races and to be the overall winner of the MotorStorm Festival. Players are in control of seven different types of vehicles throughout the game including rally cars, big rigs, dirt bikes, ATVs, racing trucks, buggies and mudpluggers. Each race requires the player to choose a particular vehicle type and often race against many of the other vehicles. Every track has many different racing lines, each catering to a specific class of vehicle thereby making the racing field even. The events in the game are created using 'real time' technology, such as the mud effects, tire marks, and crashes. Each track is filled with a variety of jumps, bumps, cliffs, ledges, mud pits and various obstacles.

Races are generally a three lap events against a 2-12 opponent field. The track experiences real-time deformation, making each lap different from the last. Larger vehicles can cause large holes or leave ruts that can easily upset smaller, lighter vehicles. Every vehicle responds differently to different track environments, as well. Vehicles like big rigs and mudpluggers get excellent traction in mud, whereas lighter vehicles like dirt bikes
and ATVs will struggle requiring the player to find the best line for his or her vehicle. MotorStorm video clips were used in a Playstation 3 commercial due to its success.

Codes

Cheats

Enter the Big Head code whilst paused, and the Everything code on the main menu. You will here a noise if done correctly

Pause the game, then hold L1+L2+R1+R2+R3(whilst pushed right)+L3(whilst pushed left) Big Head (ATVs and Bikes)

At main menu hold L1+L2+R1+R2+R3(whilst pushed up)+L3(whilst pushed down) Unlock Everything


Here's some hints and tips for you new comers:

1. To skip the crash sequence, keep tapping on R2 right after you crash, it will bring you back to the race almost instantly most of the time.

2. Using nitro when you are in the air does not speed you up even though you still get the blur effect.

3. Infinite boost exploit is REAL! People use it online and offline! You can do it by tapping by the boost button (x). You don't get the blur effect, but you will speed up like normal boosting.

4. Vehicles in the same class have different attributes. If you can't beat a level using a certain vehicle, try a different model of vehicle in the same class.

5. Every track has its favorite vehicles. Even if you are the master of bike, you will not be likely to beat Big Rig in mudpool. Figure out which vehicles are the best for each track.

6. Motion control is extremely fun and is what's making this game special. Learn to use it! Here are some tips: Use first person point of view ; Steady your hand and adjust directions with micro movement. When I say Micro, i mean less than 30 degrees.

7. Game saves can get corrupted sometime when you don't exit the game from Motorstorm's main menu. Be sure to back up your game once in a while and make sure you exit from the main menu.

8. When playing single player campaign, AI controlled cars are constantly adjusted to your speed. So even if you are at the first place or last place, computers are not far away to keep you in the actions.
