    We actually find it hard to come up with any complaints about Motorstorm RC. On the contrary, we feel like we've stolen this game. An extremely low price for a visually strong and extremely addictive racing game? You won't find a better deal anywhere soon.

    A staggering title: not only is it a successful test bed for one of the PlayStation Vita's most promising features, but it's also a cunningly addictive game in its own right.

    MotorStorm Artic Edge was a decent PSP game, but failed to capture the awe inspiring violence the franchise is known for. So making MotorStorm RC a top-down racer was an incredibly smart move. Especially since everything else still feels like MotorStorm: the music, the menus, ... [April 2012, p.93]

    Motorstorm makes its debut on Playstation Vita and a lot has changed from the earlier console games. Instead of real vehicles you get to drive RC cars in short, fast races. Motorstorm RC fits the portable format perfectly but why is there no multiplayer?!

    One of the most pleasant surprises from PSVita's launch line-up. It's fun, it's addictive and you can play it on your PS3 too!

    Motorstorm is a game relatively limited, but capable of giving immense fun at an affordable price.

    All this offers is twin-stick controls and slightly crisper visuals. [June 2012, p.83]

    The reason I like it so much, is because of the auto log style feature, once you complete the event, you are then shown your friends best times and the global best time, a ghost arrow is also placed on track and you can compete for both friend and global supremacy. Its brilliant and well worth the £4.75 price tag.    … Expand

The game is challenging in a good way, pitting you against computers who are very good and being able to play against various friends ghosts is amazing. The game is really addictive, so much so that I completed it to 100% and downloaded all the DLC's. Luckily I did get the game free from PS+ because I probably wouldn't have bought this game, however if they release a sequel it will be a day one purchase from me.

Right from the off, there is something about the whole package that puts it in a class of it's own. Although there's no head to head racing, you do feel very much part of a community of players and that is rare. No sooner have you completed a challenge, when a pop up tells you that somebody else has 'battered', 'trounced' or 'humiliated' your efforts. It just makes you want to get back in a race harder and faster. It's the perfect game for on-the-go gaming in bursts but you can easily lose a few hours too, trying to shave tenths and hundredths of seconds off competitor's times.

    As spectacular as behing the wheel graphics have become, I don't think I've had such a laugh on a racing game for some time now.    … Expand

I definitely played all the races and bought the Carnival and other DLC for cheap (PS Plus discount). However the lack of multiplayer (aside from score comparison) severely limits what could be a great game as racing against AI for 2 minutes can get repetitive and stale. Graphics are fair and there are some nice looking tracks. Unfortunately there just isnt enough depth and variety in the game modes. If a multiplayer mode was added this would be a huge plus for this game.… Expand
