Motorstorm 2: Pacific Rift release date is October 28, 2008
Sony has announced the official release date for MotorStorm 2: Pacific Rift in America is October 28th, we can further confirm in Australia it’s November 13th, and in Europe it’s November 14th, 2008.
Americans can go to GameStop to receive a code for access to the retailer-exclusive demo if they pre-order MotorStorm Pacific Rift. In the demo you race against the computer or grab a buddy for some split-screen heart-pounding action on one of the exciting “Air” Tracks. It’s a nice free alternative to buying the latest QORE episode off the PlayStation Network to get your hands on the demo.
The PlayStation Blog gave some more info about the game as well. To quote: “This time around, the MotorStorm races will take place on a tropical island set amongst the lush jungle, emerald lagoons and towering peaks in the Pacific Ocean. Why is this important? The original MotorStorm introduced us to some fantastic racing through the desert landscape of Monument Valley. Although we delivered some wild tracks and terrain, the desert is the desert. With the topical island setting, players will be able to experience a much broader range of environments and terrain.
There are 8 vehicle classes to choose from, including the Monster Truck! For the first time, you and your friends will be able to race head-to-head in the new 4 player split-screen mode for some major racing mayhem. The 16 diverse multi-route tracks (double the amount from the first MotorStorm) feature real-time terrain deformation that ensures no two laps are the same. Did I mention Trophy support is included?”
