This off-road, all-terrain vehicle racer mixes high-speed racing with over-the-top stunts. It's not an original concept for a game by any means, but it is very clear that the game's purpose is not innovation, but the three-letter word all games aspire to be: fun. From the tried-and-true mechanics to the satisfying multiplayer component, PURE is a winner.
Let's get one thing straight. PURE looks fantastic. The draw distance is beyond impressive - you can see several miles ahead, and this is most apparent during one of the many death-defying leaps you will survive. The landscapes are lush and realistic, tracks are unique, and the ATVs look and sound exactly like they should. The animations in PURE are believable and surprisingly dynamic. For example, in the middle of a jump, I pulled a Bar Hop that didn't quite finish by the time my ATV hit the ground. The game sensed that I had slipped up, but it also sensed that my mistake wasn't severe enough to cause a wreck. This resulted in a very impressive animation in which the rider was caught off-guard, bouncing awkwardly with his feet still over the handlebars, the rider himself whimpering in fear and scrambling to regain control. Oddly enough, crashing has its own sense of style; when you bail, the screen drains of all color and the camera bails with you. All told, it's always nice to see developers willing to go the extra mile for the sake of immersion."
Let's take a look at five racing games/series that have largely been forgotten about, but in their day, were actually pretty awesome.
Rumble Racing was really good so was Pure. I was always sad they did not release more of Rumble Racing. It was nascar but in an arcade form which was fun to the average fan.
