PURE comes to Xbox 360 Games on Demand photo

Black Rock Studio's awesome (yet overlooked) offroad trick-racer PURE is now available on Xbox 360 Games on Demand. The digital download will run you $19.99, and is a 4 gig download.

If you haven't had a chance to try it out, PURE is a surprisingly excellent arcade-style racer. My first thoughts after playing it were that it felt like SSX on wheels and a whole lot of dirt. If that description doesn't sell you on it, then I've got nothing.

Black Rock's next title is Split/Second, an over-the-top, reality-show-based arcade racer that promises car wrecks, explosions, and even more explosions. Sold. PURE just might be able to keep you occupied until that game ships later this year.

I wish more of the shit that's on the xbox store would come out on the PSN store also.

SSX on wheels is the absolutely perfect description of this game. It's awesome.

Pure is fantastic! Since the game and Lego Batman come packed with a ton of Elites nowadays, you're better off grabbing a cheap 2nd hand copy though.

If anyone has access to used copies of games at gamestop buy your games used. These on demand prices are lame and not worth it.

Pure is easily worth 20 bucks. This game is a lot of fun.

It's only $2 cheaper at GameStop for a used copy ($17.99), and a new copy is priced exactly the same. I really don't see how that makes this a lame deal.

I need my 250GB hard drive first to fit it on.

Indeed, a very awesome little game, that more gamers should try. This is my first bike racing game and I haven't been disappointed by it. Sod GoD, you can easily pick up a new physical copy cheap as chips. Go with the latter.

Was it just me, or did the AI suddenly get impossibly hard to beat on race events toward the end of the game?

The AI got harder depending on how well you did in the first trial tutorial run around the track. You could dumb the AI down at any point by redoing that and purposefully doing worse.

But yeah, the game was super awesome.

This is one of the best controls in a racing game I have experienced since Mario Kart games. Why can't DiRT or Gran Turismo have steady controls?

@Zombutler

I have heard plenty about SSX, but seems like that description was enough to convince me to try it soon.

Holy crap, that last comment didn't make sense.
