Runcorn-based computer games developer Evolution Studios is
celebrating its success as
MotorStorm, its thrilling Off-Road
Racing game, scores a PLAYSTATION3
 hat-trick in the Japanese,
European and US Sales Charts.
MotorStorm was released alongside the launch of the
PLAYSTATION3 in all three territories, and the European launch
follows the game’s success in Japan and the United States where it
also topped the PLAYSTATION3 Chart on its release.
MotorStorm’s savage Off-Road Racing throws players into a
frighteningly realistic series of competitions spread across the
breathtakingly hostile environment of Monument Valley. Each race
sees players battling for First Place through a series of
heart-stopping jumps and winding shortcuts in contests that define
the word “carnage”. No two Races are ever the same as competing
vehicles churn and deform the mud with every rev of their engines –
a feat which showcases the sheer processing power of the
PLAYSTATION3.
Evolution Studios already has an excellent pedigree in Racing games
having produced the highly acclaimed
World Rally Championship
series. “To see
MotorStorm top the European, the Japanese and the US
PLAYSTATION3 Charts is just fantastic,” says Martin Kenwright, CEO
Evolution Studios. “Developing MotorStorm to a standard we
were all happy with was certainly a challenge – but the team here
really delivered. Evolution has a reputation for
 delivering high
quality Racing titles, but the consensus was to come-up with
something really special for SONY’s new hardware. We’re delighted
that the public has agreed with the press and made MotorStorm
a worldwide number one PLAYSTATION3 title.”
MotorStorm is certainly worthy of heading-up the
PLAYSTATION3 Sales Charts – and it obviously was quite predictable
that it would. However, there has yet been little notification as to
whether being first on the PLAYSTATION3 Sales Chart even grants you
an entrance into the Multi-Format Sales Charts at all. |
