... I thought to myself, when I saw the first trailer for Pure. Actually I did not care much for this fellow. Furthermore, additionally deterred me as a publisher Disney. In a fit of boredom, the demo was still a way to my hard drive and I was instantly impressed. After a few meters all skepticism was thrown overboard. So the full version was needed. The hope for a fun arcade game was not disappointed. The menu gives an overview of all the same modes - Career, Quick race, Training, Race online. Everything you could need. Only a split-screen mode there is not unfortunately. The career, however, seems at first sight with 10 events (4-7 races) maybe a little short, but after a few races - which breaks down in Freestyle, Sprint and trick - it's for my taste but enough; especially as the difficulty is not the easiest. Is motivating that you get points for all seats, with which you unlock gradually parts for his quad, which can be characterized continuously upgraded. Thus equipped, the conditions for an poorly spilled races are much better. Speaking Quads: Another job opportunity is the assembly of the vehicles. Here one can build his personal ATV for all applications from a variety of components. Also very nice here is a quick build function for the impatient. So that is also a very short time to an appropriate subset of the three event types. Fortunately, you have not always rebuild, but can equally save a whole set of quads thanks to several pitches. Another important point in Pure are the tricks. The trick system is not overly complicated and succeed quickly the first stunts. Here applies: The more and the more complex actions you make, the more "boost" you get. This turns further, more elaborate tricks freely and also you can use the boost to speed up his vehicle. On the technical side Pure offers a very nice graphics and sound successful. There is nothing to complain about. Very good solution can I find the possibility to optionally install game data to shorten the loading time. Here, one or the other developer should sometimes learn a lot. Online mode, unfortunately, I could not really test the absence opponents. So I can only say that all types of races are present and one completed his rounds with up to 15 other counterparty.
Conclusion: For me personally, the Pure surprise title of the year - Do not expect anything and get a lot of bids. Especially for fans of games like SSX highly recommended. However, anyone who is looking for a alternative to MotorStorm 2, should allude demo prefer first; I myself find that one the two titles only partially be compared with each other.
