Platinum #261+262: MotorStorm RC (PS3 & Vita)

Hey there!

This game has been in my backlog long enough. It wasn’t the easiest Platinum but hey, the second one was for free! :-)

What is the game all about?
MotorStorm RC is an arcade racer, which has already been released for PS3 and Vita back in 2012. It’s not a typical racing game in which you’re driving powerful cars. Instead, you’re in control of RC cars. You might get used to the controls first, as you don’t have the typical cockpit or behind-the-car views. You’re watching your car from a fixed position, like you do it in real life when playing with an RC car.
There are a lot of different tracks and events and the difficulty increases from race to race. At the beginning, you might win some events on first try but later in the game you’ll need various tries to get the gold medal, especially in the time trials. The laps might be short but you’ll need a lot of practice to find the fastest route.
Surprisingly, the game seems to be easier on Vita than on PS3. You have much better control of your car and thus, it’s recommended to play the game on Vita.

What about trophies?
The game hasn’t that much trophies. Your focus is getting all 3 medals in each event and beating the overall time of 40:00 minutes. Doing this will unlock you most of the trophies. The rest can be done in playground or by replaying specific tracks.
As mentioned in this guide from playstationtrophies.org, get rid of the multiplayer trophies first.
After you’re done with one version, simply load the game on the other system at all trophies will auto-pop. This means, with MotorStrom RC you can get 2 Platinum Trophies without playing the game a second time.

Where can I get this game?
MotorStorm RC is available digital only and can be found in every PSN store. If you buy the PS3 version, you’ll get the Vita version for free.
If you need PSN cards, you can buy them at play-asia.com or at scdkey.com. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

As a trophy hunter, should I get this game?
It’s not the easiest racing game but thanks to auto-popping, you can get a second Platinum Trophy without additional effort. Buy the complete edition for PS3 when it’s on sale, it includes both DLCs and the Vita version.
