Motorstorm fans?

Got 1st in every race on the first game. Still haven't bought Pacific Rift, Arctic Edge or Apocalypse yet though. I hear Apocalypse cuts the difficulty down to a more reasonable level. Can anyone confirm?

I'm not sold on the series. I find the controls hamper a lot of fun that could be had. Far too sensitive. The game plays like an arcade racer, it should control like one too, not a sim. :p

Motorstorm is as far away from the sim category as Sega Rally is. Quick controls don't equal simulation controls. The cars handle nothing like they would in real life.

True, but the controls are sensitive like a sim. If I accidentally touch left on the analogue stick, I don't need to be careening around in a 180 and slamming into a wall.

That just isn't fun.

I've only played Arctic Edge on the PS2, but my impression was similar to irixith's. I thought the controls were too loose for an arcade racer. I also thought the graphics were too blurry (which may be a port problem). It wasn't a bad game. It was pretty fun, but for the PS2 I don't think it holds up to the ATV Offroad series.
