Motorstorm RC has a platinum.
lol never even heard of it.
Oh yeah! Man, that had a crazy amount of trophies for the size and price of that game.
It's a simple, well-executed idea. One that is well-refined, and without any type of needless padding or sloppy implementation.
The comparisions to Bomberman are correct; the game is extremly simple to play, but that doesn't keep it from being exciting, or satisfying.
There really should be a demo up; since the full game purchase is that of a "Demo" file + an unlock key. Could it be a Store error?

Bought it yesterday along with RagOdyssy, but haven't played either yet.

That 9 minute video sold me on the game. The humor is just perfect.

Well I bought it and it's dead simple. Seems to be lots of challenges, collectibles and such wrapped around a very simple but charming game.
Feels very nintendoish in that sense.

Yup. Not massive in your face "LOL HERE'S A JOKE" but still great.
I've seen at least two. Maybe you haven't got that far yet?
Yeah, a good description, as well. Nintendo games don't have 300 different mechanics, but the ones they do have all work beautifully, as you intend them to, and with much polish and refinement.
As of stage 3, I got attacked by 2 groups at once: one that grew very large, and another that was slightly smaller. This was also the same stage that introduced bombs into the mix.
I'm very happy the game seems to have enough visual and gameplay variety, to justify it's campaign / VS stage count. It's got a wealth of content in all the right ways.
There goes me talking without getting far in the game. Thanks guys, I'll def play more later.

Might have to try the demo on this one but... is this game mainly single player focused then? (meaning just as fun for SP than in MP/coop?)

Still a lot of people on the fence about it.
Here is a nice short 3 minute video review I found of the Vita version for those still wondering about it.
Yep. Game gets pretty challenging once there are multiple groups.

Not really? It seems to be one of those "Single player is an elaborate training room!" style deals, though a lot of the personality and themes seem to be explored in SP.
Overall gameplay should be just as fun, whichever you choose to main.
I've played it more as a SP and MP Co-Op style thing, personally.

Hmmm... Maybe download the Vita version itself onto the PS3, and see if that triggers any proper signals? Or maybe try contacting the devs through the PSBlog post? Even they mention that those who buy the Vita game would have a PS3 game awaiting them if they owned just a Vita, and no PS3, in the blog comments...
This game is brilliant fun.
Playing on Vita, I just left my game open and suddenly there are two others "helping" me and we're having a blast for 5 or 6 levels before they left. All without a hitch.
I loves it. The only thing to its detriment, I think, is that the game play's so simple there's nothing to really discuss. Game needs more buzz.

Finally tried the game.
First thing to say, is that it looks amazing on the Vita. Very clean, colorful, smooth and the art style is lovely in full resolution on this OLED.
Gameplay is simple, will be interesting in versus play, but may find itslef a bit lacking in solo.
The game has a lot of charm, and is really fresh and a pleasure to play on the Vita.

Solo does a good job keeping itself fresh, from what I've seen.
The environmental changes are much larger in scope than I'd expect, personally, and there have even been a few inventive boss strategies in there.
Also remember that the Quest is co-op able. Playing through it with my brother locally has been very nice, and this is one of few PS3 games I know of, that actually respects him playing as a seperate profile. (Is this rare on PS3?) So he earns his own characters, and has his own stats... VERY appreciated, as this doesn't happen on much bigger games, like Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One.
ANYway, it's keeping me intrested, and the few puzzles to earn special characters, mass diversity of items to throw, varied stage gimmicks, and introduction of more opponents is keeping things nice and fresh. I really like the ability to have a Co-Op campaign run, or VS, that adds quite a nice bump to it's overall value, to me.

If you like the game maybe you should post your impressions on the PSN Vita Megathread, it seems my initial impressions scared some people off. On the first 4 levels, there were little to no variation. The environments are different but don't affect the gameplay at all. I've literally 0 motivation to pick up the game again.
Tried a while back, I think they got steamrolled in the speed of the thread. Then your impressions came along, and everyone jumped on that bandwagon, doh!
Wasn't going to speak about it much there, until I had a bit more to work with / speak of.
And environments actually are pretty important to the game; much like bomberman, stage gimmicks can change the way you play, and what you have to look out for, from the enemies. Even area item spawn can effect exactly how you approach chasing for the high scores. Not to mention you have to pull character through in your group, to earn them for you collection. Directly encouraging one to learn how to survive better (if the gold star for low deaths didn't do that already.)

Nope. The pre-orders that EU had were the discounts for all users (only on PS3)
Okay. This game is utterly genius, stupendously addictive and incredibly fun.
I think it's better than Mutant Blobs Attack by a looong shot and sits right up there alongside with Super Stardust Delta as the best Vita downloadable game -- if not completely outclassing it for the simple fact that it has silky smooth local and online co-op and a TON of things to unlock and collect.
So. Damn. Good.

Game is great(played it at a event) , will buy if its on sales (sorry 
)
)Not that I really care, but I thought IGN's review of WVA read pretty poor and missed the essence of what this game really is about; Pure fun.

I could only beat him with a buddy online. What's worse is that the next level features TWO of those shield guys which is pretty lame...
