Pure Demo?

I've heard good things about it but I haven't tried it yet. I know the trailers for the game left me a bit confused, the game looks way over the top.

Yeah it looked nice and all but Pure just seems way over the top for my tastes. I could see getting bored with it rather quickly too, just not enough diversity in the vehicles and game types for me.

I may be flip-flopping on Pure. I played the demo again, made it through the training and got to race on a real track and was impressed. I still hate that you need to perform tricks to get a speed boost (I wonder if speed boost can be disabled?), but the graphics, tracks and handling are all great. Some of those big jumps really give you a rush.

Closing Comments
Pure delivers an outrageous, arcadey off-road racing experience with style and slickness. The controls are intuitive, the tracks are pure eye candy and the tricks are so crazy and over-the-top that you’ll find yourself gasping with glee when you land your first Lazy Girl. Although it’s a blast to play, it’s not the deepest game out there, and we found ourselves wishing for just a few more modes, tracks and options to round out the experience. But overall, Pure is just pure fun, and that’s what it’s all about.

8.5	Presentation The levels and tracks are lovingly rendered, and the menus (save for the ATV construction system) and uber-intuitive.
9.5	Graphics Pure looks like a million bucks. The vistas go on for miles, the bikes look sharp and the character animations are engaging and slick.
8.5	Sound Engines purr and rumble accurately, and the sound effects are carefully crafted to draw you in, especially during jumps. Voice acting varies.
9.0	Gameplay If you like to have fun, you will like this game. It lacks depth somewhat, but the core of the experience is a blast.
8.0	Lasting Appeal The lone single-player mode, although fun, is a bit short. But the multiplayer is robust and well-implemented.
8.6 Great	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)

Ditto - I almost bought this today, but ended up getting an RPG instead.
