This unadultered adrealine rush is incrediably fun, though it lost some parts along the way.
Review Start
Pure is a new ATV game from Black Rock Studios. You play as one of a few drivers and compete in three events, Race, Sprint, and Freestyle. Race is pretty straight forward, as is Sprint. The real juggernaut here is my opinion is Freestyle. It lets you do all of the insane over the top tricks that nobody in the world can hope to accomplish on a ATV.
The goal here is to become the Pure champion. You can also play events over again and play online.
Online plays basically the same way as the regular game, but it adds a new level of fun because your oppenents are very smart. Not that Pure's AI is terrible but it is much more exciting online.
Scores.
Graphics: The graphics look quite good for what they are, though the enviroments never truly differ from one another besides in small ways. 9/10
Sound: A good soundtrack and annoucer that get marred by bad voice overs for most characters and for the most part chessy dialogue such as "lets do this! and oh no you don't". 7.5/10
Campaign: By this I mean the story and the story in Pure is bland. Yes it is a driving game but even Burnout had an more intersting story behind. The biggest fault with this is the fact that you are given back storys for each character, but they never evolve past I want to win. 6.5/10
Multiplayer: An great thrill. It is extremely fun and the online leaderboards are quite good. While it isn't an online juggernaut, it is certainly a blast. The tournanments are great as well but where is split screen? 9/10
Controls: Simple and fun. You gain boost by landing awesome tricks and driving is vey simple. The controls feel tight. 8.5/10
Replay Value: Pure is fun enough that you will play it for a decent amount of time. The Pure World Tour is probably 5-15 hours depending on how you play it. 8/10
Overall: + Awesome tricks are just face melting.
+ Lots of fun modes, freestyle is great.
+ Great Online
- But only online
- Why gives us these characters and not let them evolve? Character Creation please.
? Is there a reason all of your dialogue feels straight out of Mickey Mouse's mouth?
