MotorStorm 2 gets weighty patch

Evolution wipes dirt from windscreen.

Sony has rolled out the first serious MotorStorm: Pacific Rift game update.

The most substantial changes are back-up saves, icons indicating when critical saves are taking place, boost exploit fixes, more coherent online rankings and nicer-looking photos thank God.

You'll be prompted to install the update when taking MotorStorm: Pacific Rift Online.

Developer Evolution Studios writes on the US PlayStation blog that Game Update 2 will be available soon.

This, we're told, will cater for the collectors, especially those with a hankering for Trophies.

MotorStorm: Pacific Rift squelched onto shelves late last year, delivering more variety but perhaps less consistency than the first game.
