MotorStorm is a racing game for PS3 that takes players to the MotorStorm Festival, a celebration of off-road racing. Races feature collisions and battles between vehicles, which also serve as weapons, while the goal is to beat the other drivers. The tracks include open plains, steep slopes and narrow canyons, with landscapes inspired by famous locations in the American desert.

The artificial intelligence analyzes the race and the environment, identifies routes and adjusts its aggression to the player’s moves. Vehicles shape the terrain to varying depths, changing track conditions, while both vehicles and the environment can be destroyed. Cinematic effects include motion blur, depth of field and crash shots.
