The demo for PURE will be hitting Xbox Live Marketplace and Playstation Network this Thursday. The demo consists of three laps against 15 AI racers and a tutorial to figure out the controls.  This game received lots of praise at E3 and Chuck gave more impressions from his hands on with it in early August.

The demo for PURE will be available worldwide for download on Xbox LIVE
Marketplace and PlayStation Network on Thursday, September 4.

The demo takes place on the Italy - Mount Garda track, one of 35 tracks
in the game. Players must mix speed and tricks to complete the three-lap
race against 15 AI competitors. The demo also includes a brief tutorial
on a qualifying track to get players up to speed on the game controls.

PURE is an action sports game on four wheels. Players build their
vehicle from the ground up and take on 15 competitors in single-player
or online multiplayer modes in seven real-world locations.

To succeed in PURE, players pull off unbelievable tricks as they soar
over massive peaks. Doing tricks adds to the players' boost bar which
enables faster speeds. Along with Race mode, the game includes
Freestyle, Sprint and Freeride (an online-only mode that allows
free-roaming and experimenting during a set time limit).

PURE was named Best Racing Game of E3 2008 by the Game Critics Awards
