Game On!

Show the world how fast you really are with the new MotorStorm™ Time Attack
> mode.
>
> Since its March 6th launch date, MotorStorm on the PLAYSTATION®3 has been
> solidified as the must have off-road action adventure title of the year. The
> wild and dirty ride continues with the availability of new downloadable
> content. Sony Computer Entertainment American along with the development team
> at Evolution Studios is delighted to announce the arrival of the Time Attack
> Mode, a new and cost-free automatic patch exclusively for MotorStorm on the
> PLAYSTATION®3.
>
> In Time Attack gamers can set their best times on each track with any
> available vehicle classes, then race against ‘ghost’ laps in subsequent
> Time Attack races. Extra-fast times will see your ghost laps automatically
> uploaded to the global leader boards for others to compete with.
> Additionally, gamers will have the option of racing against up to seven
> ghosts at a time – beat their friends’ efforts then let them have their
> ghost lap to prove it. Players can race against their own recorded ghost,
> take on the best runs recorded by other players (downloadable from the online
> leaderboards), or try and beat the expert ghosts from Evolution.
>
> The Time Attack mode will be unlocked with a free key that will be available
> on the PlayStation network store starting June 7th. Before installing, please
> load MotorStorm™ from the Blu-Ray Disc, select ‘Online’, an appropriate
> game universe, and install any updates if prompted.
