[PSP - Multi14 - Eur] Motorstorm Arctic Edge [TNTvillage.org]

Motorstorm Arctic Edge







Quando si parla di Motorstorm la mente corre automaticamente alla PS3 e ad uno dei suoi brand più famosi nell'ambito dei giochi di guida arcade. Il primo capitolo ha fatto compagnia, insieme a Resistance Fall of Man, a chi ha acquistato il monolite nero di Sony al day one. La sua grafica dettagliata e le sue corse sfrenate attraverso circuiti che si snodavano per tutta la Monument Valley, hanno dato il via ad una saga che ha portato gli sviluppatori Evolution Studios a rilasciare un seguito ambientato su isole tropicali. Tramite Motorstorm: Pacific Rift si riuscì quindi a mantenere inalterato il feeling arcade folle e scanzonato del capostipite. Se finora però gli unici a poter usufruire di questa miscela esplosiva sono stati gli utenti PS3, da oggi anche chi possiede una PSP potrà scatenarsi in queste corse estreme. I BigBig Studios (autori dell’adrenalinico Pursuit Force e del suo seguito) sono stati scelti per confezionare questa terza uscita e hanno ambientato questo nuovo torneo sulle nevi e sui ghiacci dell’Alaska. Copritevi bene e preparatevi ad un nuovo festival estremo!

Commento Finale
Con Motorstorm Arctic Edge si è riuscita a miniaturizzare una saga tutta arcade e adrenalina senza perdere un solo elemento di quelli che hanno reso vincente questa formula. Il problema piuttosto si può riscontrare nella assoluta assenza di novità, ma è davvero difficile che un appassionato rimanga deluso. Essi troveranno tante gare da affrontare nella modalità Festival, un ottimo online, una guidabilità immediata e mezzi e tracciati ideati con stile. La prossima volta sarebbe lecito aspettarsi qualcosa di nuovo, al di fuori del cambio d’ambientazione, ma per essere la prima uscita di questo brand sulla piccola PSP, non ci si può certo lamentare. I patiti della simulazione invece farebbero bene a considerare oculatamente l’acquisto.

If this review seems a bit late by IGN standards, that's because it is. While playing through the first portable outing in the MotorStorm franchise, I ran into a fairly significant snag: the online was giving me serious problems -- to the effect of locking up and then shutting down my PSP. Thankfully, it came down to a PSN ID error, so if you're running into the same roadblock I did, delete your PSN account from your PSP (head to the Account Management option in the XMB, hit Triangle and then delete the account, then create a new one). It's a good thing I did wait for a solution, though, as it completed the sense that this is MotorStorm, without any corners cut or features lost; this is the complete package, and the online complement is one of the better handled ones available on Sony's little portable that could. Getting a podium placement at the end of a race will net you points which in turn help you level up ranking-wise and earn new customization unlockables. There's a full friends list complement, leaderboards and you can actually invite people through the game that will show up on your PS3 friends list when you end up signing on there, as well as opt to ignore players, all of which makes MotorStorm feel nicely tethered to the full, "proper" PSN experience. If the online feels solid, though, it's because so much of it piggybacks off the core game that you'll be slogging through for weeks offline. I'll likely sound like a broken record by the end of this review, but it really can't be overstated: this is MotorStorm as you've come to know it, complete with tons of track variety, multiple paths for the myriad vehicles that will attack those tracks and completely different handling characteristics for those same vehicles. Quite literally nothing aside from HD resolution and the graphical goodies that come with the power of the PS3 has been sacrificed in bringing MotorStorm to the PSP. That's a big deal, because until now (and aside from some smallish PSN titles), the "holy crap, this is just like a console game" experience has been relegated to former PS2 franchises. Games like God of War: Chains of Olympus, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters and, to a lesser degree, Gran Turismo have proven that you can indeed take some of the best PlayStation 2 franchises with you on the go without losing anything. Arctic Edge proves it can be the same with some PS3 games too, online experience and all.

Closing Comments
I could prattle on for another thousand words about how much I love the level design of some of the tracks or how the handling just feels right for all the vehicles, but these are things you'll end up discovering for yourself when you plunk down the change for the UMD or downloadable version -- and you absolutely should. This is MotorStorm, in its entirety, in a wholly new setting but without losing anything that made the series so damn fun on the PS3. Without a doubt, this is one of the best racing games you can find on the PSP. Go buy it.
