Excellent gameplay and graphics. There's a decent variety of vehicles, however, they do lack the ability to customize. As others have pointed out, a big flaw is the number of tracks. They are well done, with each one providing a different set of challenges, but there are only eight of them. The other big problem is a exploit that lets you use boost constantly without overheating your engine. This is really a problem in the online game (which is otherwise excellent, imho), giving a big edge to those who know about the exploit.
My favorite game on PS3 so far

I usually don't like racing games, but I'll make an exception on this one. The graphics might be the best so far on next gen hardware but it's not just looks. The game also involves some strategy because you need to understand the track and what vehicle is best for it. If you know the tracks easiest way is through mud then it's a good idea to get a larger vehicle like a big rig or a mud plugger.
The offline mode could of used multi-player split screen big time. But it serves as training as it takes you through the same tracks over and over with different vehicles and difficult levels. Once you get good then it's just fun and relaxing but still challenging. The graphics are eye candy and the desert tracks and backgrounds are nice to look at, the tracks also have changing time and weather effects like day and night. Going throw single player mode will also unlock more vehicles you can use. Of course a lot of people give it major knocks for not having offline split screen and using the same eight tracks over and over.
Online, the relaxing ends and you're up for a major challenge against other people. Depending on the game your in, the moderator selects the track for each race and what type of vehicles you can select from. All in all, it's a good game but the real feature is the power of the games graphics and physics.
A new Era in rally games

This is the first game I bought for my PS3 and I was not disappointed. The ONLY downside to the game is that there is not a multiplayer mode (though it is very fun to play online). The game looks amazing; it is extremely competitive; and there are a wide variety of vehicles, tracks, and levels. A MUST BUY for a PS3 owner (if you enjoy a good offroad race).
A Lot of Fun

Pros:
Greatest graphics ever seen in a video game bar none, the track actually changes after each lap. Tire tracks in the mud depending on the vehicle weight, If you are driving a big rig you will make deep tracks in the mud compared to a bike which will hardly make a track.
Great vehicle variety, choose from Bikes, ATV'S, Racing Trucks, Buggy's, and Big Rigs.
Great soundtrack.
Cons:
No two player via splitscreen. Splitscreen should be a given in a racing game I am shocked that they left that out.
Not very much replay value.
Motorstorm is awesome, but a sequel is needed !!!

Great gameplay and graphics, only 8 tracks but they are incredibly detailed and depending on the vehicle you can run the same track through completely different routes making the feeling of 8 tracks not so bad
Is obvious that this game was rushed, it was a good job but a sequel is needed and I hope they will being working on it shortly !
I gave it 4 of 5 because is extremly fun and the physhics are one of the most real ever seem, if you like Burnout or Need for Speed... you should get this one !
P.S: Some new downloads will be nice, like some extra ticket with hidden tracks or vehicles.
No offline multiplayer??

First off I have to say that this is probably the most detailed racing game I've ever played. The explosions and car models alone would be enough to look at for me but great attention has been paid to the environment. Unfortunately that doesn't do much for me when i can't play against my friends on my tv. Anyone that doesn't have a decent internet connection is restricted to the single player mode and with a limited amount of tracks i can see this going back on amazon in the near future as a used game.
Great Offroading Racing Game

Great graphics on a 1080P 61'. Controls are easy to learn. The depth of this game is very good and the soundtrack is great also. A definite must have for the PS3.
not too fun

This game is really boring. I can see why it came free with the PS3. I would not spend any money to buy this game. The graphics are really good, but the game itself is boring. Like they barely put any real work into it. I advise renting before buying. Same vehicles, same tracks (basically). no customizing. Very Boring!!!!
