XFX, agreed on both accounts — if you happen to come across a 4-wheeler game like this, let me know… would love to get into it.

I actually ride a race 4 wheeler (but don’t race) and to me the best thing to me is actually rideing with my friends.If they would have made the game more multiplayer friendly it would have been nice.And the so called “FREERIDE” isn’t that free at all you do what they want and go where they want.I want to be able to ride where ever I want to without falling off the 4 wheeler.I give it a 1 out of 5.

Nice review. Don’t disagree with a thing. I have a question though. I’m VERY confused about special tricks. It says everyone has their special one (which I think i;ve figured out to be R1+L1+UP) and others that they share (rockstar is shared by both the andrews’ for example) but THEN it says you can unlock tricks… where do these go? Has anyone got a complete guide to the special tricks? Like, who does what one? And what they do BEFORE certain ones are unlocked?

@Jigsaw, ditto here about racers… I think I used to like them more when I was younger and they were simpler, now it’s hard to find simpler racers with high fidelity content that are a joy to play… DIRT was beautiful but I got my ass handed to me constantly by other racers

@Ken, that’s a good point, only a few times did I feel I was going “fast”, but none of the times did I feel like I was going break-neck speeds… although do quads really go that fast?

A further pulled back camera would have been nice in certain tighter turns where I got a little cramped, but for the most part I enjoyed the up close framing… I think it helped make the huge vista-jumps that much more grandious — when the camera would pull WAY back and show you the world suddenly, very cool effect, even after seeing it 20x.

Did you have the same problem I did with pulling off stunts in all different directions? I wonder if I’m just wired to suck with my hands or something…

yea this game was fairly enjoyable on my PC. i think overall the speed of the game was at a slow tempo. at no point did i get the impression that i was racing at high speeds on a quad. the scenery was enjoyable and the mods/tweaks were pretty cool.

for me i think the camera viewpoint needed to be peeled back a bit to show a larger scale which might have given it more oomph. motocross 2 from microsoft had that wide shot which was great, some games allow that to be adjusted but not pure. =/

overall it was a great game to play for a while, i’m guessing you got it for xmas?

Thanks for the review. I’ve had the 360 version in my GameFly Q for weeks now and I’m glad to hear when I get around to playing it should be fun. I don’t play a lot of racers, but the demo for Pure was a blast so I figured I’d give it a try.
