Since I don’t have any games yet, I’ve just been playing around with the Playstation game demos. So far I’ve tryed out Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, DiRT, and Gran Turismo HD. My favorite is definitely Motorstorm (so much, in fact, that I have ordered it already), with DiRT in second. They are both highly realistic racing games, Motorstorm being more desert-centric and DiRT being more about general racing. I’ve posted videos of Motorstorm before, so I won’t go into too much detail, but its basically a racing game that takes place along the top of a canyon (or at least, the demo level does…I have never seen another level…), and has pretty spectacular explosions when you crash or use the boost to get through for too long and it overheats.
DiRT, on the other hand, is insanely realistic, and not just graphics-wise. There are no boosts in DiRT, and both the car and environments take realistic damage with every collision. And again, the damage isn’t just graphical. Take too many impacts to one side of your car, and it starts to slow down and drift in one direction. Take way too many collisions, or enough ones at high speed, and your car stops working completely, causing you to forfeit the race. It’s all very impressive, but Motorstorm is just more fun. 😛
Heavenly Sword is cool, it plays like Soul Calibur, but with multiple opponents. Graphically? Amazing. Stunning, really. I might get it…who knows?
All in all, I’m very happy with the purchase 🙂
