Eurogamer has posted up their review of Pacific Rift. One of the first reviews so far. So far it has been getting good, and decent reviews from websites and magazines. Pacific Rift will be available next week on the 27th.

Final score=7/10

Released alongside PlayStation 3 in March last year, MotorStorm was a raw, single-minded distortion of the successful WRC series that gave Evolution Studios the opportunity to make it in the first place, introducing multiple vehicle classes to the same track and playing host to the seemingly cunning technical innovation of persistent surface deformation. But while the rutted surfaces left in the wake of each lap's storm of thundering metal - and the implications for those that followed - made for easy headlines, given that they planted a flag for things that the then-four-hundred-quid console did over and above its predecessor, they never defined the first game. Instead we eulogised sensations dormant since the heyday of EA's SSX, which are now enjoying a renaissance best exemplified by the critical success of Black Rock Studios' excellent Pure a few weeks ago.

    Pretty decent score. What I expected for this really.

    7/10 just isn't good enough for me. I've only money for 2 games, and if it can't rate better than the first, I'll pass.

    7/10? You're serious right? That isn't that great of a score. Didn't MotorStorm 1 get a higher score then that?

    Well if it can't get a metacritic average of 84 or higher, I won't be bothered. If it's lower, I'd be better off buying the first one instead.

        Well, not all the reviews are in yet; game doesn't release for a week or so, so we may see some better ones. But I'm not hopeful.
