PlayStation 3 · 2008
About this game
MotorStorm: Pacific Rift is the sequel to the PlayStation 3 exclusive and launch title racing game MotorStorm .
Set on and around a volcanic, tropical island in the South Pacific, players continue the style of the first game, riding a varied mix of vehicles from Bikes and ATVs through Rally Cars and Trucks up to Big Rigs and, in a new addition to the series, Monster Trucks.

These are able to drive over other cars, destroy vegetation and damage structures.
Some abilities have been enhanced, for instance bikers can now duck or hop over obstacles.
Like its predecessor, the tracks are unconventional and contain multiple routes, not all of them suitable.
The tracks will wear down through consecutive laps and this affects the vehicles' behaviour.
Smaller vehicles also suffer resistance from vegetation, while the bigger rigs can plough straight through.
Areas with water cause the engine to cool down, affecting the behaviour as well.
The game can be played split-screen with up to four players.
The game also had online multiplayer modes but the game's online servers were closed down on 1 October 2012.
About PlayStation 3
Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.
Gamevaro tracks MotorStorm: Pacific Rift for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding MotorStorm: Pacific Rift to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2008.

Rarity & condition

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
