Racing games are perfect for living room parties. This game is a lot of fun, but after you get higher in the ranks it gets repetitive, and a little difficult to win the races against the AI. Sure the races should be more challenging as you progress, but it's a little too hard at times I think.They didn't include split-screen multiplayer which is a major letdown.
GREAT game and worth every $$. Several songs from GH so my 6 year old sings along to half of them and plays until his little hands are numb. Got this game a few days ago and my boys - 6 years old, and 36 years old (that would be my hubby hehe) LOVE it. The graphics are pretty amazing and the music is really good.
Those combined gave it a very short lifespan with our family. So maybe if you are a fan of racing games, this will have more appeal to you.With that said, we found it to not really make us as interactive with each other during the race as we had hoped, and we found it difficult to feel in control while we were racing. I bought this game with high hopes that it would provide a lot of fun for the family. However, after a small amount of fun initially, we quickly grew tired of it.One caveaut - we don't typically like racing games anyway.
It's a very interesting dynamic.This game is the perfect balance of arcade and simulation to me. Boost too much, and you can't refill your meter as fast. Building your ATVs from the ground up is really cool, and I can only imagine how much better it would be if I actually knew anything about ATV parts. I simply love it.If you like racing games at all, you should pick this up, regardless of the price. I've currently got 3 different ATVs ready to go: one all-around ATV for races, one trick-heavy ATV for freestyle events, and one that's built for handling and speed for sprint events.The gameplay is a ton of fun, and has an adrenaline-based boost meter that you fill by performing tricks, in an extremely similar fashion to the SSX series. I made a thread devoted to this game a while back wondering if anyone actually bought this game, considering it got such high reviews.
It is simply tragic that it didn't get better sales. Don't boost enough, and you'll fall too far behind to catch up. No one had, mainly since it was overshadowed by so many other big-name titles last year. Pure takes that risk/reward balance a bit further though, only allowing you to access those tougher and more rewarding tricks once your adrenaline meter fills to certain levels. It's more than worth it. I picked it up as part of a recent clearance sale and here are my impressions.This game is excellent.
Unlocking new parts and tweaking old builds to accentuate certain aspects is very addicting.
If you are into racing games, then this is a must buy. There are a few things that could be fixed, such as small glitches in the framerate, but that is acceptable. If not, you can wait for this product to go on sale. This is a really fun racing game, with a variety of different features that will attract any sort of gamer. Customizable rides, great music, fantastic graphics, and easy to understand controls.
