MotorStorm 2 : Will soon Hit The Market

Buckle up, because you'll soon be on a bumpy, off-road, ride-of-frenzy -- courtesy Evolution Studios.

It's come from the horse's mouth this time around: a sequel to the immensely popular PS3-exclusive racing game "MotorStorm" is arriving this fall (meaning towards the end of September or a little later), says Sony's PlayStation blog.
The blog has also revealed some of the features of "MotorStorm 2". There are going to be no major rules for this one -- simply choose your mode of transport from a humongous range of dirt bikes, ATVs, sand rails, rally cars, monster trucks, and what not, and make it to the finish line as fast as you can -- somehow.

Instead of racing in a mountainous desert as in the earlier version, "MotorStorm 2" will take you to the terrains of a lush Pacific island replete with thick swamps, dense jungle, towering peaks, and steaming volcanoes. To add to that, there will be 16 new multi-route tracks, so 16 players can race head-to-head online. A four-player split-screen mode is also said to have been included.

There will be more updates from developers regarding the features as the release date nears. Till then, practice some real driving!
