The story in the single-player campaign of the game is considered somewhat contrived, with a "comic book" style linking the races. While it attempts to integrate a narrative about a city in chaos, many players feel that the storyline is secondary to the racing experience, offering decent cut-scenes but lacking depth. The campaign features three distinct story modes, each with a defined structure, but the overall sentiment is that the racing gameplay overshadows the narrative elements.
“Ok, so this is still MotorStorm and the basic concept is still the same as before - although now we have a 'comic book' style story linking the races in the main festival mode.”
“Each rider's story takes place over three days and each offers different perspectives on the tale of a city that's eating itself in increasingly spectacular fashion.”
“There's a defined start, middle, and end, with each story bookended with mad dashes to and from the MotorStorm carrier.”
“The story of the single-player campaign is somewhat far-fetched.”
“Personally, I couldn't care less about any storyline tacked onto a racing series; they're decent enough cut-scenes, but completely passable.”
“Racing games and storylines go together like slugs and salt, but Apocalypse has a crack at getting the two to play nice.”
