And, despite bringing very little of its own ideas to the party, its absolutely brilliant.
Instead of snowboards, though,Purerevolves around ATV racing similar to the quad-bikes inMotorstorm.
Races are split into several categories.
you oughta perform tricks to keep your fuel tank full, and the last one standing is the winner.
you could choose between a racing or freestyle ATV, which emphasise speed or trickability, respectively.
But theres more fun to be had in creating your own rig.
Nothing revolutionary so far, then so thank god for the racing.
Its more intuitive thanSSXand more enjoyable thanMotorstorm.
In short, its absolutely brilliant.
The numerous differences between the myriad vehicles also make themselves known.
The handling is fantastic, too.
While the handling and racing action is superb, then, the tricks are the real highlight ofPure.
Just like you did inSSX, too.
The higher you fill up your meter, the trickier stunts youll unlock.
The circle button is first, followed by the triangle button.
Purereally comes to life in the air.
Tricking, jumping and racing inPureis a genuine adrenaline rush, time and time again.
The circuits themselves are a little more varied thanMotorstorms repetitive dust-bowls.
While this all sounds fantastic so far,Pureisnt without fault.
Online play does add longevity, but the single player experience wont last as long asMotorstorms does.
Still, its absolutely fantastic while it lasts.
