T3: Pure Review

T3 writes: "Thanks to its racing game heritage with the likes of ATV Offroad Fury, Brighton based developer Black Rock Studio was always going to crank out a corker with PURE.

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
4 / 5

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 )

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.

11 - isn't Pure
a multiplatform game? PS3 owners can get Pure and/or motorstorm.

Not to mention MS is obviously better

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.

11.3 - yeah, it's multiplat
I also prefer Pacific rift over pure but those who have extra money can buy pure if they want!
