If you liked playing in the mud growing up, or dream of smashing through precious rainforest in a Monster Truck, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift is probably going to be up your alley.

If you played the first MotorStorm though, don't expect this to be a massive leap in gameplay; it's very much an awesome addition but just not much further ahead than perhaps it should have been.

Still, there's a lot of fun here and with addition of four-player split-screen, you can now yell at your friends as you crush their puny quad bikes in your Monster Truck! Check out our full review for the AusGamers skinny.
