Off-road racing fans get ready as Sony announces MotorStorm exculsively for PS3. If you’re familiar with World Rally Championship (WRC) you’re going to like this one, brought to you by the same development team over at Evolution Studios.

The game features a 12-player online mode, real-time track deformation, where ruts in the track will remain and cause each lap to be different, an aggressive artificial intelligence (A.I.) system that scales to the player’s abilities, and spectacular crash sequences that take full advantage of the PS3 hardware.

“MotorStorm showcases the power and technology of the PS3 with its combination of next-generation online and offline gameplay functionality and life-like A.I.,” said Jeff Reese, Director, Software Marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America. “With over-the-top action, cinematic crashes, and exhilarating gameplay, consumer anticipation for the game has been overwhelming. Not only do we expect thrill seekers to enhance their PS3 library with MotorStorm, we believe the game will ultimately draw more consumers to the PS3.”

In MotorStorm, players descend upon the badlands of Monument Valley for the MotorStorm Festival to celebrate an alternative racing culture. The festival is highlighted by a no-holds-barred off-road race with aggressive and competitive opponents all gunning for the championship title. Players will cut through mud paths, speed over sand dunes, and launch across rocky cliffs in an extreme race to the finish line, all of which is underscored by a rocking soundtrack. The competition is fierce and it’s a survival of the fittest with MotorStorm’s combat-like racing. The physics-based car damage feature heightens the challenge, allowing for any of the seven vehicle types to break and destroy parts upon collisions with other racers.

MotorStorm is rated “T” for “Teen” by the ESRB (www.esrb.org)
