  1. Pure is just what the name implies, a game about pure fun.
  2. Pure is a very nice arcade racing game, especially the multiplayer mode convinces.
  3. Pure is an enjoyable racing game even when an attempt to squeeze in one more stunt results in a pin-wheeling ragdoll rider and dropping a couple of positions.
  4. Infuriating loading times are a major issue. [Mar 2009, p.74]

    This is a fun game that is not too difficult and has enough big-air-eye-candy to give you 4 mental cavities. But there is one thing that is a major downside. The Load Screens. I have a decent computer with an up to date graphics card and 4 gigs of ram. The game runs smoothly on all of the menus and the actual racing part. But it takes FOREVER to load ANYTHING. It takes me 4 minutes to get to the main menu. Another 4 minutes to load the map, and another 3 minutes just to leave the race and go to the main menu. It's riduclous. I enjoy playing this game, but I will uninstall it next week and throw it away if the load screens continue to take forever. Expand
