Gamers' Temple

Pure is just what the name implies, a game about pure fun.

Pure is a very nice arcade racing game, especially the multiplayer mode convinces.

GameStar

Great graphics, breathtaking stunts and fantastic driving feel - Pure is the surprise hit of the year as far as racing games are concerned. It's a perfect blend of fun and action and looks fantastic. It's possible to create more than 60.000 different Quads out of components, so no Quad looks like the other in multiplayer games. There is no story at all, but it's the perfect casual game once you're done with the short career mode.

Armchair Empire

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.

When it comes to entertainment, Pure is a true success. The speed sensation is exhilarating, the gameplay is very challenging, the race tricks are at least spectacular and the multiplayer is extremely fun. A title that I can gladly recommend to everyone, especially to those that haven’t played a racing game before.

There is very little PURE actually does wrong. Great handling, graphics, soundtrack and the tricks are far removed from all reality – that’s the way it should be! So if you’re looking for a pretty arcade-game to cover the time till the next “big” one’s released you’ve found your game! [Issue # 16]

IGN

Pure delivers an outrageous, arcadey off-road racing experience with style and slickness. The controls are intuitive, the tracks are pure eye candy and the tricks are so crazy and over-the-top that you’ll find yourself gasping with glee when you land your first Lazy Girl.

The game’s hidden strength, though, is in its visual presentation.

Pure is exciting fun that long-time racing fans and those looking to get their feet wet in the genre can enjoy. [Feb 2009, p.69]

PC Games (Germany)

Fun, fun, fun. Pure doesn’t want to be realistic by any means, but to be a great arcade-game. Few other racing-titles this year were that easy to get into.

PC Format

As an arcade blast it's an impressively polished and well worth a look if PC's lack of "SSX appeal" has graded for all those years. [Christmas 2008, p.98]

PC PowerPlay

Strangely, Pure is best described through its title. It's not complicated, it's not especially deep, and in parts it's not even that refined. It's straightforward, fast-paced, exciting racing. [Christmas 2008, p.80]

Game Over Online

Pure is essentially NFS for the ATV crowd, which I think is a pretty good thing.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)

A wild, aggressive and entertaining racing game. User friendly controls, extreme tricks and splendid locations make Pure a great choice for those tired of FlatOut. ATV tuning guaranteed! [Nov 2008]

3DJuegos

Pure is probably the best Off-Road racing videogame of the last years. All the fun and the joy of riding a quad can be found here, and the pack comes with a great arcade style, astonishing environments and an accessible and spectacular driving.

DarkZero

A perfectly polished and presented package. It offers extreme-tricking and adrenaline-fuelled racing and does it in a refreshing and challenging way.

Infuriating loading times are a major issue. [Mar 2009, p.74]

Total PC Gaming

Entertaining in short doses, but severely lacking in variation. [Issue#14, p.56]
