Pure
Date undefinedI bought this when it was on sale for Black Friday and was more then half off, so I could not pass it up. The game play is fun and the graphics are great! I like the ability to create many different ATV models for each event. Pulling off crazy tricks will require you to get used to the controls, yet once you do you better hold on because you will get crazy air and fly along way! On my 50" LCD it creates a real sense of height and adrenaline pumping action.
The one thing this game lacks is split screen two player mode. Would be nice to have that feature so my buddies can play along. Live version is fun, when you can find someone to play with that is.
This game is worth $20 if you find it used or on sale, not a $60 game though.

Date undefinedThe best way to describe Pure is to think SSX / RalliSport Challenge. Both of these titles obviously influenced the development and design of this game.
The action of the game is very reminiscent of SSX. You have a boost meter, you perform tricks to increase the boost meter, the higher the meter - the better the tricks, and use the boost during the game to increase your speed in an attempt to land a first place.
Pure also shares the attitude of the SSX franchise. The characters will snipe out snide little remarks as the pass each other such as "See you later" or perhaps an "Excuse me" as they bump past each other. Trendy, young, style, cool are all words that were probably oft repeated during the design phase.
The progress through the levels are more reminiscent of RalliSport Challenge. You have to score a certain amount of points to progress to the next set of races. A first place will net you the most points. A lower rank in an individual race, such as sixth, will still add to your cumulative score, but not nearly as much as the first. This encourages the player to go back and try the earlier races again to improve the overall score in order to unlock the later stages of the game.
There are a few different race types to choose from, but basically the races consists of either getting to the finish line first or scoring the most points doing tricks.
The off road vehicle design section of this game is surprisingly in depth and detailed. There are literally hundreds of different parts and configurations to choose from and earn. As you advance in the game, new parts are unlocked, so tweaking your vehicle to perform is always encouraged. And while amazingly detailed, all the parts basically only modify 5 or 6 different stats in one direction or the other. But the parts the detailed accompanying graphics keeps the game fresh much longer than it otherwise would be.
Overall, Pure is a great game, but there is one serious omission. There is no split-screen racing on the same console! Why, Disney, why?

Date undefinedThis game surprised me. I didn't expect it to be instantly fun, but it was. The racing style is SSX like, except better. You perform tricks to gain points while you race. And the tricks are outrageous and cool to perform. If you play with other people, you'll be screaming, "Ohhhhhhhh!", when you or others miss the insane tricks.
Another thing that surprised me was the graphics. I haven't been impressed by graphics for a long time. This game actually got me excited enough to call some of my friends over so that they could check out the graphics. The lighting, detail and environments are great to look at.
Even if you think this isn't your cup of tea, at least try the demo.
