Motorstorm – 2 new tracks now available to download

Remember Motorstorm? It was the rather enjoyable off-roader and only Playstation3 launch game worth buying. Since its release there has been a steady stream on downloadable content to waste spend your cash on.

Well now there’s some more stuff to download, and this time it’s not just a new (and pointless) paint job or a rehash of the existing tracks. Nooooo, it’s 2 brand spanking new tracks, I tell ya. Check out the PR’d track descriptions:

Eagle’s Nest: mayhem in the clouds
Welcome to the Eagle’s Nest – a high-altitude track perched precariously on a remote mesa. It’s fast, tight and brutal – and the slightest wrong move can send you careering over the edge. Of course, this means all the more opportunity to send your rivals in the same direction. The stakes are high and so are the cliffs – have you got the nerves for it?

Diamondback Speedway: a racetrack with a bite
Who needs a purpose-built racetrack when you’ve got the natural desert amphitheatre of Yei Bichei – MotorStorm’s answer to a speedway circuit? The track’s banked corners mean that this track is all about speed – the tactics that’ll get you to the finish first involve putting your foot to the floor and holding on tight. Will you survive the deadly Diamondback tunnel and the infamous Sinkhole?

This double track pack costs £3.49 (price of a beer in central London, and it’ll last longer) and is available now on the Playstation network. I guess it’s time to dust off my copy of Motorstorm and power up the black monolith for some dirty fun.

Update 10th Jan 08: Fixed the typos and bought the tracks. Mmm, muddy, mud, mud.

Update 21st Jan 08: Err, how come the same tracks cost a paltry $2.99 (£1.54p) from the North American PSN store? Is bandwidth and hosting more expensive over here Sony? What a rip off.
