MotorStrom: Arctic Edge
Best selling title for PlayStation 3, MotorStrom is back with their new installment Arctic Edge. MotorStrom: Arctic Edge is an upcoming game developed by Bigbig Studios, not by Evolution Games which previously developed MotorStrom series games. Just like the previous games of the series it will only be released for PlayStation consoles. However, this time it will be released for PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable and not for much famous PlayStation 3. Arctic Edge will be published by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. Not sure for the release dates Sony stated that MotorStrom: Arctic Edge will be released in the fourth quarter of 2009. The game will be released in single player, online on PSP Ad-hoc, infrastructure and multiplayer modes.
Although the game will be released for both PlayStation 2 and PSP, the two versions will differ from each other sin some fields. PS2 version will not feature certain modern day important features like: Photo Mode, online play, and custom soundtracks. There will be 8-player multiplayer race and in the PSP version will only come up with multiplayer split screen option. Time attacks for both the consoles are confirmed by the developers. There will be difference for the recording of the time attacks. For the PSP versions time attacks are recorded from the leaderboard. Total 12 tracks have been finalized so far, which can be raced such as Log, Widow Maker, Vertigo, Cod Rush, and Jam.
The cooldown technique used in MotorStrom: Pacific Rift while driving through water is included in the Arctic Edge. Vehicles will cool down the boost in the deep snow. A new and exciting feature included in the game is Avalanche; it can be activated by explosions of the vehicles or by the horn of the vehicles. Once activated Avalanche will sweep away the opponent or cause roadblock which is impossible for the small vehicles to pass by, only snowmobiles will pass by the roadblocks in the small vehicles. Other noticeable feature of MotorStrom: Arctic Edge is Icy Bridges seen in the trailers. These bridges are dangerous for heavy vehicles as well for the vehicles passing below. Small vehicles will easily pass these bridges and heavy vehicles will easily break down them. Once crashed from the bridge the player will tumble down the track and possibilities of busted out by colliding another vehicle are high. Other then being busted out players can also land upside down or the best they can land intact and get back in the race. Just like the other games of the series vehicles will be available in wide range. From trucks to bikes, from cars to snowmobiles. One vehicle not featuring this time is Monster truck.
