T3: Pure Review

And we're not disappointed."

We Love:

+Eye-watering pace
+Photorealistic vistas
+Ludicrous tricks
+Online multi-player option

We Hate:

-The sheer speed of the game can bewilder and confuse until you've played it for hours

i really dont think this game will match MS2

I played the demo
and i can still say MS1 is better

[Surfman]

its not Motorstorm but its still a great game to have fun with. I am a fan of ATVs, i have one, and i was waiting for a atv-game. The last "ATV vs MX" or something like that was so bad lol.

[pshizle]

this game is really freakin good

[Dyingduck]

LOL, I am glad Xbots get left with the trash - at least PS3 owners get both options as I can assure you some will like PURE over M2 and vice versa - that way 100% of PS3 owners are happy while ROFL 50% of Xbots want M2...so sad for them Xbots, ye?

This is a great ATV game by the same guys Sony hired to to the last 2 ATV off-road Fury games (Climax)and they where where great racers. Look at this game as a kinda spiritual successor to that great Sony franchise.

The idea is not to compare it to Motorstorm 2, which will be a great game also, the idea, as a gamer, is to be happy we have choice. Get over yourselves, and stop turning everything into Sony vs the world crap, it is stupid, old and very marginalized in the gamer community.

If the demo is anything to go by this game is absolutely awful, doing tricks in the air with absolutely no consequences does not help to say the least. This game is being compared to Motorstoorm 2 for some reason but if the first is anything to go by, pacific rift will be miles better then Pure.

[WIIIS1]

Stop lying to yourself to defend your precious few exclusives. I've played both Motorstorm demo and Pure demo, and it is obvious Pure is by far the better game. What Motorstorm 2 is going to be is anyone's guess, but if it follows its predecessor, it isn't likely to be better than Pure.

[nbsmatambo]

Both games have their qualities. Pure is "pure"ly ATVs (hehe), and motorstorm has a variety of vehicles. I do believe motorstorm has the greater deal of detail. But both appear to be very fun games =D

@1.1 => Wat do u mean precious few exclusives. i do think at the moment Sony has greater/more creative/better/more exclusives than MS

[ShinMaster]

It's roughly an 8/10

[59fifty8]

but i gotta go with motorstorm 2 part 1 was great but the thing about motorstorm it involves strategy like picking different vehicles for different races.

[felidae]

this game gets boring after 30 minutes.

Motorstorm is much more intense. i think it's the only racing game that pushes my adrenaline to the max.

[badz149]

it is! and by miles!

[masterg]

How in the world can anyone disagree with what he says.

MotorStorm is pure adrenaline. Pure has non.
It lacks Speed, Brutality, level design and adrenaline.

In MotorStorm you can not relax for one second. The Enemy AI is so damn evil. In Pure I hardly notice there are other racers.

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

Didn't know they were a gaming mag??? ;-D
I found it boring, MotorStorm 1 looks better and plays better!!!;)

[azmanmanz]

@ken. it's true. just delete the demo after few minute played. it's suck and boring and also waste my time to download 1276MB game demo

[MrWegman]

I liked the demo... I'll get this game when I can find it for under $40.... I can wait...

[anh_duong]

game of the WEEK???

week?? how many nextgen games get released per week?? soon we will have game of the day and then game of the hour.

what a crazy title to bestow a game, game of the week. what a meaningless accolade - just to suck up to the pblishers and con the ignorant.

[ROCCOZILLA]

loved the demo,i might get this the day it comes out,i cant imagine how cool the online would be.its BAAAAD ASS!!P L A Y B 3 Y O N D !!!

[Agent VX]

Pure plays way more fun than Motorstorm. Motorstorm completely lacks in the excitement factor, while Pure from the demo is wayyyyy more fun.

How can anyone compare Pure to Motorstorm is beyond me, excitement and fun easily goes to Pure.

[King_many_layers]

what a load of rubbish.. Pure relies on the tricks and therefore it just loses some of the intesity. For example how to build up the boost you have to use tricks and then it's just gone.. whereas in motostorm you can use it and there's a risk, you know you'll get it back but you just wanna push it further.. then oo fudge.. you've blown up.

Motostorm has better maps ( going by the motorstorm demo and the pure demo ) more variety of vehicles so more styles of playing. Motostorm is brutal and has danger at every turn, I didn't once feel like I couldn't win on the pure demo and I took a long time to get to no.1 on motostorm demo, ( with motion controls mind you, but I enjoyed it with them )

[Milky]

Its ok, it was fun the first time but not the third.

[Barreldragon00]

If your going to lie at least try to get your facts strait the Motorstorm demo isn't even out yet.

About the game it was fun but it was way to forgiving i would boost off a jump and instead of going over the side like i should have the game pulled me back on track. In the end the fact is Pure is a rental for me at best, its a little slower then motorstorm and it doesn't have 4 player offline kills it for me.

[NewSchoolGamer]

a multiplatform game? PS3 owners can get Pure and/or motorstorm.

Not to mention MS is obviously better

[MiloGarret]

Really, Microsoft is better? Lol...

Sorry

[PirateThom]

Yeah, so if you own a PS3, you can get both Pure and Motorstorm... why you'd get Pure when faced with that choice is beyond be. I believe Motorstorm is now in the Sony Greatest Hits range anyway, so it's also cheaper than Pure...

Yeah, Motorstorm one already blows Pure away.

[badz149]

I also prefer Pacific rift over pure but those who have extra money can buy pure if they want!

[xtreampro_REVENGE!]

who ever says this game is better then MS1 and 2 is the biggest liar on this site, i kept the MS1 Demo for more then a week, but the PURE Demo lasted me 20mins before i deleted it, the gameplays average, the graphics are average and the tricks are crap and cant be done AT ALL!, its a stupid lame attempt in trying to beat MS1+2, its has no exitement to the gameplay and the game FAILS!!
