MotorStorm Arctic Edge racetracks revealed

Take a look at the 12 breakneck tracks you’ll be racing in MotorStorm Arctic Edge on PSP.

Are you ready for seriously icy, inhospitable, and dangerously unpredictable racing conditions as you hurtle across 12 ruthless, thrilling and desolate new tracks in the breathtaking and volatile setting of Alaska - right at the edge of the Arctic Circle?

Each of these 12 brutal tracks are playable both forward and in reverse, with the alternate versions opening up their very own challenges with different weather conditions and brand new routes, effectively giving you 24 tracks to race around. Check them out:

Gold Rush
Get ready for a blistering circuit through the scarred rocks of an abandoned mine, with racers blasting through gravel, mud and streams of meltwater in the hunt for treasured first place.

Log Jam
No longer the lush green paradise it used to be, 20th century deforestation has left Log Jam a timber strewn quagmire making it absolutely perfect terrain for the modern off road racer with a death wish.

Mudbowl
It's wide, fast and dirty (guess that's why they call it the Mudbowl) as participants slip and slide their way through Mudbowl, dodging rocks and gaping oil pipes in the hunt for the fastest lap.

Widow Maker

Following the path of a long dried up river, the eerie Widow Maker brings out the festival's darker side, with its towering iron sculptures and the infamous hilltop jump of faith. Do you trust yourself to make the leap?

Eagle Falls
The ice curtain of Eagle Falls forms a stark and chilling backdrop to the countless treacherous paths you'll face as you blast through this multilayered cliff top track.

Wolfpack Mountain
The festival crowds go wild for the racing variety on Wolfpack Mountain, with its biting lap times and multiple routes guaranteed to bring out the beast in every MotorStorm racer.

Ascension
In Ascension, you'll face a terrifying snaking climb up through a rocky mountain pass until gravity finally takes a grip and racers barrel down the slopes straight to the finish line - hopefully in one piece.

Auguta Glacier
This mighty creation of nature is powerful enough to cut though the solid rocks, which means Anguta Glacier's canyon of ancient blue ice is the perfect setting for a cold hearted race to destruction.

The Chasm
Infamous for its perilous jumps and gaping drops, The Chasm is a nefarious high speed trek across a splintered mountain plateau. Think you can handle it?

Northern Face
The claustrophobic caves of Northern Face echo with the sound of roaring engines as racers burst right out into the harsh cold light amongst massive snowbound cliffs just waiting to push racers right over the edge.

Snowgod Canyon
A kingdom of snow and ice hidden among the peaks, Snowgod Canyon's beauty hides treacherous deep snow and thunderous avalanches waiting to claim unwary racers.

Vertigo
Clinging to the steep slopes at the very top of the mountain is Vertigo. Windswept bridges of glass and steel are all that stand between festival goers and a deadly mile-high drop.
