BUMP!! This thread didn't get the attention it deserved. There's alot 'o Pure love here that schould be brought up again.

WipEout Pure, in my opinion, is one of the greatest wipeout experiences this side of Wip3out SE. It has every team that exsited prior to pure including several new ones, and brought back sveral of the classic tracks as well as introducing us to countless new ones. The physics were floatly and both surreal and realistic all at once. The result is something astonishing. It had both a classic and fresh feeling in the way you would take on turns or pull out onto straight aways. And although Pure is by no means the fastest wipeout, there's just something about hitting several speed pads followed by a turbo jump and barrel roll that just gave you a sense of awe and satisfaction. As if the gameplay wasn't enough, the classic/futuristic style of the game, which harkens back to the days of wo3 and fusion, was incredible. And it was everywhere. On huge animated billboards, on the side of the track, in statues toering above the circuits, right down to the details of the race craft; every nook and cranny of the game screamed wipeout. And on top of all this there's an artwork gallery, medals, unlockables, FREE downloadable content, multiplayer, and one of the best soundtracks in any wipeout (the third best in my opinion, right behind wo3 and XL) the high energy beats matched the aesthetics of the atmosphere the game projected in a way not really describable with words. WipEout PURE couldn't have been a better name for this game.

P.S. - has anyone heard from mr. willsgb? He was a great writer and fellow Pure/wo3 lover. Be a shame if he dissapeared like countless others before him.
