MotorStorm: Arctic Edge

Take trucks to the tundra as MotorStorm debuts on the PSP and PS2.

Game Information

The biggest change to MotorStorm: Arctic Edge is its Alaskan location. The tracks in the game will be placed at different altitudes of a mountain. Mud and gravel tracks will occupy the base of the mountain. The other tracks higher up on the mountain will feature more snow, ice, and rock. A new gameplay event being introduced to the series are avalanches.

Similar to the previous games in the series, the tracks in Arctic Edge will feature multiple routes and multiple car classes competing at once. Bikes, Buggies, ATVs, Rally Cars, Big Rigs, and Mudpluggers will return, and both Snow Machines and Snow Cats will be introduced. The gameplay will include the same highly competitive, ruthless off-road racing that fans have come to expect. The AI is still just as aggressive and the crashes and explosions will still send ragdoll drivers flying.
