If the leader changes, so does the racer with less boost. This means the leader of a race has less boost than everyone else, allowing players further back in the field to "catch-up". In online play, Catch-up mode can be enabled. This can be very useful when behind, although this does not work all of the time if the AI opponent gains the upper hand. Since explosions resulting from the boost typically rocket the player's vehicle forward, they can be used to edge out another racer across the finish line. If the boost is held when the engine reaches its critical temperature, it will explode. The longer the boost is held, the hotter the engine becomes. Players must keep an eye on their boost meter, which shows how hot the car's engine is. Nitrous boost plays a large part in MotorStorm and is used to either catch up to opponents or pull away from them. Vehicles like big rigs and mudpluggers get excellent traction in mud, whereas lighter vehicles like dirt bikes and ATVs will slip and slide. Larger vehicles can create large holes or leave ruts that can easily upset smaller, lighter vehicles, and every vehicle responds differently to different track environments. Tracks experience real-time deformation, which means each lap is different from the last obstacles and other elements that are displaced from their original position will remain that way unless disturbed again. There are eight playable tracks in the game with a further four are available to purchase as downloadable content through the PlayStation Store. Races are generally three-lap events with two to fifteen racers. Each track is filled with a variety of jumps, bumps, cliffs, ledges, mud pits, parts from other cars, and other obstacles. The events in the game occur in real-time, such as the mud effects, tire marks, and crashes (for example, if a car loses a wheel, it will remain where it lands for the duration of the race). Every track has many different ways of getting through it, each catering to a specific class of vehicle thereby making the racing field more even. On the other hand, big rigs have great durability, medium speed, but poor acceleration and handling.Įach race requires the player to choose a particular vehicle type and often race against many of the other vehicles. For example, dirt bikes are capable of accelerating very fast and capable of maneuvering through tight spaces, but they are also easily damaged, and only reach mediocre top speeds.
Each vehicle has its own strengths and weaknesses. MotorStorm holds the Guinness World Record for the biggest variety of vehicles in a racing game - players are in control of seven different types of vehicles throughout the game: bikes, ATVs, Dune buggies, rally cars, racing trucks, mudpluggers and big rigs.
