MotorStorm Now A Worldwide Hit

Home : News : MotorStorm : News Story

Playstation 3 launch title MotorStorm has hit the number one spot across European territories, following its success in the US and Japan.

Evolution Studios has secured a European number one title with its Playstation 3 launch game, MotorStorm.

The game previously went straight in to the number one position in North America and Japan when the console launch in those territories last year, although was just beaten out in the UK charts by Insomniacs Resistance: Fall Of Man.

Martin Kenwright, boss of Evolution Studios commented, “To see Motorstorm top the European, the Japanese and the US PlayStation 3 charts is just fantastic.”

“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”, he added.

"We’re delighted that the public has agreed with the press and made Motorstorm a worldwide number one PlayStation 3 title."
