MotorStorm: Arctic Edge - Sony PSP

I have had this since it first came out in fall of 2009 and still play it one the best psp racing games and games period out. It has features like a full ps3 game has multiple vehicles cars, snow plows, buggies, motorcycles, has online play, has friends list, has trophies, has voice chat, has custom soundtracks only game since gta games, plus tons of levels to play. Im still playing it. Its a shame great games like this wipeout, syphon filter, littlebigplanet psp, killzone psp, jak and daxter psp, resistance psp, havent sold a lot they are all cutting edge games compared to ds games. And with modnation psp coming out you can make tracks and mods and carts, just like ps3 system. With that and metal gear its gonna be a good summer. Back to my point though motorstorm arctic edge is a great game and i love still listening to my music while racing it is challenging too. Also i like its different than ps3 with the snow and has environmental hazards like avalanches happening maybe theyll have more of that when motorstorm 3 is released soon. Definitely buy.

The game is a lot of fun, it has pretty good graphics and great controls. It is a little hard. I haven't been able to beat it. It plays just like the other Motorstorm games. Must have for PSP owners.

Love the game. Condition price and shipping were beyond expectations. Love being able to break out old gaming gear and play new "old" games.The game itself is fun. It's an arcade racer but not too arcade-y. With all of the different vehicles to choose from it definitely has replay value.

Similar to the PS3 releases, i was surprised at how great the game looked while keeping the framerate . Definitely a must buy for racing fans and Motorstorm fans alike.

This is a good game. Kids love it

The Good: Amazing audio/visual presentation, lots of vehicles, great sense of speed, lots of events, infrastructureThe Bad: Terrible soundtrack, no custom soundtrack, very simple, shallow customizationThe PSP is chalk full of racing games and probably more so than any other handheld or console. The reason being is that racing games are perfect for a handheld format, the PSP can display nice graphics, great physics (very important in a racer), and the analog nub is perfect for this. While there are dozens of mediocre to poor racers on the PSP Arctic Edge is not. Being one of the best looking games on the system is a real plus, but it's the fast paced action that MotorStorm fans have grown to love that really pulls it in first place.One thing I love about Arctic Edge are the menus; they're easy to navigate and aren't a jumbled mess. Getting in the career mode is simple since they put all the events on a rotating column that you slowly rise depending on your rank. You can place 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in each race to earn points to advance to your next rank. There are a few race types that include regular races, checkpoint races, time trials and so on. After you select your even you get to choose from a selection of vehicles and there are many types. Ranging from snowmobiles, to bikes, ATVs, snow trucks, and many more you'll have a large variety. Each vehicle handles different on certain terrain so choose wisely.When it comes to actually racing you're in for a treat. You get a boost meter, but this can be used as many times as you want just as long as you don't overheat your vehicle and blow it up. You can cool down your meter by driving through water or deep snow. I found this very unique since I can't recall it ever being done in another racing game. If that's not enough to entice you the sense of speed is amazing. The only problem is I wish there were some blur effects or something, but what they do works just fine. There are different paths you can take on the tracks and depending on your vehicle some may not be a wise choice. The higher paths are tended for smaller vehicles, and the lower paths are for larger vehicles. Each track is laid out with deadly obstacles that you can smash into, but a quick press of the reset button will get your back on your wheels. The core of the racing is just really fun, but it does get repetitious after awhile since that's all there is to do.Customizing your vehicles is nothing special since it's your bare bones basics. I really wish that if there's going to be customization make it deep or don't bother at all. You can unlock new parts, but all the upgrading is cosmetic only since you unlock faster cars.The multi player is what will keep you coming back since there's infrastructure. Yes, I know I know...all PSP games should have this in their multi player and the racing is great since the computer controlled AI is very odd. My only real hate in the game is no custom soundtracks. The game dishes out a mediocre soundtrack that can grind on your nerves after awhile so shame on you Sony for providing this. Other than that Arctic Edge is a great racing game on the PSP to pass the time.

This thing is ligit new very suprised

love it, shipped fast and works great
