I absolutely loved Pure, and while I've played a fair share of decent off road racers in the past couple years, nothing compares to Pure in my opinion.
Pure offers a massive amount of content for the money, and the online multiplayer, which features up to sixteen players, is as intense as any other racing game’s this generation. I cannot recommend Pure highly enough.
It’s February 7th 2024 and I still believe this game needs a sequel or a remaster. This game is still amazing till this day I’m playing pure as I’m typing this but the only downside is that I never played pure online before and its kinda sad knowing that I would never play it online.
Pure exploded into the limelight by stealing the Best Driving Game award at E3 this year, and only weeks later it’s on the shelf. And, you know what? It’s an awful lot of fun.
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. The visceral appeal of driving really fast and performing all manner of impossible gyrations is strong enough to make Pure a gotta play title.
There are other, deeper, and ultimately more satisfying racing games out there. But for a pure, pick-up-and-play sense of speed and fun, Pure is hard to beat.
I’ve been playin for 7 years, and not even once I’ve thought about returning this game and it shows. It would make a great game to play if the apocalypse happed.
Pure, an ATV racing game with 3 fair modes, an ATV builder (parts & cosmetics). Short like Auto Modellista. Fair difficulty.
Graphics wise, a fair game with it's environments, ATV details are fair & characters look good enough/suit the game.
Starting the player is given tutorials, to accel, turn, use left stick move up then down at hills before doing tricks for boost. These can be repeated later.
Went to garage & other modes to see what the game offered. Garage is an ATV builder, so instead of unlocking ATVs you build them/gain parts to match classes/stats to swap them out for to enter into later events. Or auto scale.
If you liked the car builder in Sega GT on Dreamcast this goes a step further of parts to put together & consider stats.
Love this feature.
The player has the choice to either select parts themselves or auto scale parts if they don't care & update per class.
In beginning you can just put whatever you want. But later builds wbest to consider stats to get by beside good driving & auto scale per class entry. You don't need a specific part for a class, a class option will just show up when changing parts. So few have a class C to A option.
Garage/ATV builder requires a lot of selection choices to get to the cosmetics & to build it. It goes pretty in-depth. I'm no expert on ATVs but if someone wanted to they can make any parts match stats but cosmetic wise the game is limited.
For cosmetics which happens about half way to 3/4 of the way through the customisation of the ATV the liveries/colours are limited. If you want sponsors/liveries you have them but you can't move them they are preset options so if you want further creativity you won't find it here. If you want parts presets to select then those prior to the cosmetics offer that.
Cosmetics are awarded & can be swapped out like stat changing parts.
So while you can change the handles, the fenders, the 3 frame types & more, sponsors, liveries and a few colours.
From the engines & other important little to big pieces you get D class (or higher classes) or standard/+1 upgrade consideration in the building. But you will also have five stats to consider. Max Speed, Acceleration, Handling, Boost and Tricks.
Sprocket, Boost Systems & Brakes offer Standard & Sprint kits.
While Engine, tires & shocks offer class changes.
If enter lower class entry the game will prompt an is it ok to auto scale it for you.
Modes offered are World Tour, Single Event & Trial Mode, online play & leaderboard. Solo review.
There is 3 types of events. Races, Sprint & Freestyle.
Races are races at 3 laps default, sprint are shorter tracks, usually 5 laps default.
Freestyle I thought was tricks only but it's actually a fuel survival mode with points & power ups. By doing tricks, & gaining a X2 power up the player will do preform well but others like the fuel power up freeze the fuel level not increase it. They vary from fuel freezing, X2 points, a special trick with LB/RB and fire/flame one for boost.
Single Event & Trial Mode are more so a look at each of the 3 modes in an easy to jump in way but with minor changes. There are only 2 locations the player can go to in these until they unlock more in the World Tour mode.
World Tour mode the player has a few characters to select. Some alternate looks. 2 from the start of each & a bit of a description of each character.
From there the event list with the tutorials to repeat or start the first race/time events. 7 categories are in the World Tour, blocked by points similar to MotorStorm & unlocked over time.
The points to unlock the next group of events are fair & 4-7 events (mostly a mix of race & sprint with the odd freestyle) each with mostly 1 freestyle.
For points they are only granted in each group, so point count is only towards unlocks. Not points totalled across all groups. Points per group. Vary per position.
Parts, classes, tracks for single race/time trial mode unlock besides the next group/tier of events.
Are few tutorial/briefing cutscenes as well besides the track view loading screens.
Got stuck on Group 3 track with water/odd hill respawn a lot. Needed boost/left jump.
Tracks have 2-4 paths most times.
Boost lowers on not performing tricks correctly.
Best to go with world tour & unlock parts/tracks before playing other modes due to 2 tracks at start.
Tricks can be fair to pull off but repeats offer less boost/some hill gaps can be short, be careful.
Side, front & back tricks work out well for points & boost if done right around each track for points in freestyle or general boost. Tiny fuel on lap completion/tricks.
The A, B while for tricks not sure if needing higher boost to allow B intermediate tricks or not. As pressing X is for boost but A and B show on the boost bar so seems to be the case there then to be one or two bar range boost even if not to do with boost bar cartridges format.
Manual booklet useless towards many details of freestyle/other depth.
Good core, done well.
Short, fun, relaxing. Being surrounded by games that want me to take them seriously it is a welcomed breathe of fresh air to play something where the decisions don't hold a huge amount of risk. Crashing from 150ft in the air trying to cram three tricks into a combo where you barely could have had two, only to reset yourself and go for it off the next jump is extremely gratifying. The pace of the game is perfect in my opinion; there was not a point where I felt that my ATV was limited or that I didn't get enough time to practice in the lower class. I think what held it back was how forgiving it was (even towards then end), and redundancy of the races. Motorstorm made you work your ass off and put down a perfect lap to win the last few events and I felt that the skill level required did not ramp up at the same pace in Pure. Being limited to a Freestyle, Race, and Spring got to be monotonous after a while but due to the length of the game I never felt like I was grinding. All this combined with some pretty environments and a half decent soundtrack made this a good one sitting game. This is definitely something to play with friends but I don't know if I would go back to it by myself.
Nothing special. Limited to quad bikes. Good Tracks but can become very complicated. Especially if you just want a classic racing game. Don't bother buying unless its less than a tenner.
Bah ouais mon gars, c'est un jeu Disney... what did you expect ? répond Nicole en trempant son collagène dans son cocktail cocaïne-cola. Il s'agit en effet d'un jeu d'arcade particulièrement minable qui s'adresse au public Disney, à savoir les enfants en voie de développement et les jeunes adultes en **** de développement ou dont le caberlot n'a pas fini d'être terminé. Jouabilité très limitée, répétitivité débilitante, graphismes oubliables et présentation à la Casimir.
