Pure for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

I was one of those skeptical people that ever thought an offroad racer would be worth my time. I bought Mx vs. ATV last Dec. and man I just pretty much gave up on the genre. Alas, the savior of offroad racing has emerged, and the game is pure bliss. Kinda ironic, because the game is called Pure, and for a reason.

The graphics are top notch. Its got a cell shaded, hand painted look, and at the same time it looks really realistic. I know that probably made no sense, but its because its the first game that I've seen take that approach. Plain and simple,, the game is gorgeous. The animations are fluid. There is no pop in and no screen tearing. Really the only bad thing I can say about it graphically is that their is nothing bad to point out. Which I find amazing because its a multi platform game. Frame rate is a solid 30fps.

The gameplay is really solid. Its easy enough for beginners and has enough depth to never get bored. The regular tricks in the game are pretty average, nothin we haven't seen before, but the jumps are huge, and the special tricks are insane. Its never felt so rewarding to pull tricks off like these. Its like you feel so superhuman. Its arcadey, and sim at the same time. What I like the most is that you dont get punished like you do in Mx vs. ATV. You can actually land tricks and live to tell about it.

The customizing in the game is pretty nice. Its not a Gran Turismo, but you can really make some cool looking bikes. You can pick any of the five riders to use whenever you want, which works nicely because they all have different stunts to use. The multi player is really sweet, and yes there is voice chat. The thing about multi player is that you can't use all the maps at first. You have to earn them through single player, but you should do that anyways so you can get the better bikes.

Pretty much the best thing about this game is that it is really fun. Thats the thing that most devs forget to put in their games. Pick this up
