PlayStation Store Adds Uncharted and College Hoops Demos, MotorStorm and Guitar Hero 3 Content

November 8, 2007 1:09 PM

Coinciding with the release of the PlayStation 3's 2.00 firmware, various demos and content arrived on the platform's online PlayStation Store.

Included in the new offerings are demos of Naughty Dog's premiere PS3 exclusive, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3), and Visual Concepts' College Hoops 2K8 (PS2, PS3, X360). Both games dribble into stores November 19. For more on Uncharted, check out our extensive interview and preview.

In terms of game-expanding content, the $5.99 Devil's Weekend Add-on for Evolution Studios' MotorStorm (PS3) adds a new track to the game, along with nine more races and nine additional vehicles. Meanwhile, the $6.25 Foo Fighter and Velvet Revolver packs for Neversoft's Guitar Hero III bring a total of six new songs to the guitar simulator.

Speaking of MotorStorm, players will be able to download a new update when they head online with the off-road racer, which enables rumble support for the forthcoming DualShock 3 as well as adjustable motion control sensitivity settings and tweaks the game's online component.

  From my impressions, I like it so far. It is quite difficult on normal though (Died several times, the AI really comes at you in full force). It's quite cool when you hit enemies in a area they react to where they are hurt.

  Lacking in the art department? I would think the one characteristic of this game is the great art.
  
  who has played the demo? I am stoked to play it tonight.
  Besides being hard, how is it?

    It is gorgeous. The beginning cutscene is really well played.
    
    Just a tip when playing: MOVE!!! Somethings you cover behind will crumble. Enemies will flank you from all sides. They will actually dodge your shots and not sit there mindlessly getting blasted.

        Well my 1st run took about 20 mins (Kept on dying). Btw, if you die, there is like no load times to your last checkpoint.
