There are three modes of play in Pure: Race, Sprint, and Freestyle, all of which are available online for you and 15 others to rev out. Race mode is the norm of the three and pretty much what you would expect, racing against 15 opponents over normal courses in three laps. On each course there are many opportunities for big air and in turn, big tricks, giving racers plenty of opportunities to build up the trick meter. Sprint mode features shorter races, with much less airtime, where trying to do too many tricks for anything other than short boosts will likely end in a quick trip to last place. The third mode, Freestyle, which is pretty much self-explanatory, do tricks an ante up your score higher than everyone else.
To the bottom right of the screen lies the boost meter, which adds a slightly deeper gameplay mechanic when it comes to a turbo function; leaving it up to the player how to handle this shared resource. Crashes aren’t as epic as those in other racing games, but the collision detection is top notch, and the racer animations are fantastic.
With so many good things about this game it was hard to point out the few negative problems like the lack of split-screen multiplayer. It’s kind of a shame to see that you can’t race with your friends on one console. There are twelve locations and over forty tracks and events to compete in, a traditional World Tour mode, which serves as a plotless campaign to the game, and an amazingly in-depth vehicle customization screen.
