Gamervision's Coop says, "Since its first introduction, the Motorstorm franchise has always had something to live up to. The first game was prefaced by a tech demo that the developers couldn't possibly deliver upon, showing off graphics that they, in no way, intended to meet. When the sequel was released, it's thunder was all but stolen by the surprise hit that was Blackrock Studios' Pure. It's no fault of the game's developer, but it feels as though the series is continually being screwed over by circumstances out of its control - an issue that doesn't seem to have carried over to Motorstorm: Arctic Edge.

On the contrary, Arctic Edge is one of the few titles launching alongside the PSPgo, meaning it could a great purchase for anyone just picking up the new handheld. While the PSPgo isn't receiving the best marks with reviewers or gamers, it still sets up Arctic Edge in a position to impress, something the prequels never had a chance to succeed at. With a new developer in Bigbig Studios and without anything holding it back, does the scaled-down racer flounder, or does the franchise fare well in the small pond?"
