Up until recently, I was never really into any Wipeout games besides Pulse. But when I started playing Pure, it felt to me as though Pulse was much easier.
Phantom in Pulse doesn't feel nearly as fast to me as it does in Pure, and the tracks in Pulse seem a lot easier than the ones in Pure (with the exception of Platinum Rush- I hate that track).
That said, I do like Pure, it just seems more challenging for me. I think that Pulse is a great game for novice pilots (like myself) to start off on, just because it feels easier.
So, is it just me, or does anyone else feel that Pulse, as a whole, is a much easier game?
