Motorstorm: Apocalypse's UK release has been delayed following the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The Japanese release, which was scheduled for March 17, was put back yesterday but this will now extend to other territories. The game sees players racing around a post-apocalyptic city beset by natural disasters, including frequent earthquakes and a tsunami.
