Independent British Games Developer Storms to Number One in the Japanese, US and European charts

Thursday 5th April/...Runcorn-based computer games developer Evolution Studios is celebrating its success as MotorStorm, its thrilling off-road racing game, scores a PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) hat-trick in the Japanese, European and United States Charts.

MotorStorm was launched alongside the launch of the PS3 in all three territories, and follows the game’s success in Japan and the United States where it also topped the PS3 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 PS3.

Evolution Studios already has an excellent pedigree in racing games having produced the highly acclaimed World Rally Championship series.
