MotorStorm: Apocalypse

A massive earthquake has hit the location, offering an off-road experience, and the game puts more emphasis on the storyline than previous installments.

Just like the previous games, it is centered around a racing festival, but this time told through three characters — Mash, Tyler, and Big Dog — that each represent a difficulty level (Rookie, Pro and Veteran respectively) to be unlocked one after another.

Big Dog is the leader of the group who travels to the city.

The lowest difficulty level allows the player to progress with a much less strict finish place, requiring top five, top three and the first spot respectively.

The earthquake is still in progress, so players often have to deal with tumbling buildings, explosions, voids and raised pavements.

Cutscenes further the story between missions, which cover three days per character, with comic book-like sequences and voiced dialogs.

There are about twelve races per character and tracks are repeated for each character, but not entirely identical.

Typical controls are used to steer the vehicles, along with a button to boost and one to focus on important events in the background.

There is an unlimited amount of boost, but it takes some time to deplete the meter to prevent the engine from overheating.

This can also be achieved by driving through water, and the engine cools down automatically when airborne.

For certain vehicles, additional controls are available, such as shifting weight, performing a stunt or taunting the opponents.

It is also possible to ram or punch opponents.

After crashing, the vehicle respawns automatically, at the expense of some lost time.

When too far off the track, it is possible to respawn manually.

Most of the races contain three to five hidden cards, that can optionally be collected.

There are 150 cards in total.

MotorStorm: Apocalypse for PlayStation 3 is currently worth €21.16 loose, €9.99 complete in box, and €28.60 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

MotorStorm: Apocalypse has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For MotorStorm: Apocalypse, loose is €21.16 and CIB is €9.99 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of MotorStorm: Apocalypse is currently worth €21.16 loose, versus €15.49 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
