Pure? Pure rubbish!

Got around to trying some nasty cheap trashy game by Disney that came

free with my xbox. Never bothered because I assumed it'd be crap and

man did it not disappoint!

 

Pure is an ATV racing game, with an emphasis on showy physics defying

tricks and racing as an afterthought. It allows really nice custom

design of your ATV but that's about all this game has going for it.

Psycophantic raving over seppo riders mixed with product placement and

advertising up the whazoo it seems more of an attempt to mainstreamify

an otherwise niche sport by overhyped sales pitch voice overs.

 

Did I mention psychophancy? It even has a trust fund kid who lives off

daddies rock career and tinkers with ATV's, how the shamwow voiceover

hypes him up is beyond me, but man is this game rubbish.

 

Packed with oversteer and tracks that defy logic let alone gravity,

the physics of this game is comparable to an ice race track on the

moon. By that I mean traction is inconsequential to the game, you're

always in over or understeer at all times and common race technique is

ignored, and the gravity in the world physics is depleted in an

attempt to let you pull 'sick tricks' instead of race.

 

I'd give this game one bash prompt out of five.
