Synopsis

DASH as fast as you can! DODGE the oncoming trains! Help Jake, Tricky & Fresh escape from the grumpy Inspector and his dog.



Setting

The game is set in subway, quite obvious due to the title but from playing it manages the resemble one quite well. The setting itself and the game pretty much resembles temple run, there are a lot of obstacles you have to avoid with coins and bonus' you have to collect. They managed to grasp the right design for the setting as it is very urban and manages to look reasonably realistic. The whole train track/subway theme is something new and creative and i cannot deny the fun i had playing in it. Obviously it goes on for ages and doesn't quite change so after ages of playing it can become very boring but overall an okay setting.

Setting Rating:7/10


Gameplay

The Gameplay had its ups and downs. So you basically play as this kid called Jake and by his skinny jeans, big shoes with a hat and hoody, they clearly want to get the point across your character is meant to be cool. But anyway the game starts off with you spraying your graffiti all over a train, until a police officer(suppose to look like an inspector) and his dog come chasing after you (A lot like those creatures in temple run) And you make your way through the subway. There are many obstacles quite like temple run, ones you have to jump over roll underneath, although one thing that's different is that train are constantly coming at you and the fact you can pull out a skateboard instead of running but it only lasts a limited amount of time. You have to collect coins and bonus' which contribute to buying upgrades and new characters which also include special boxes needed to unlock rare items. Something quite different to temple run is that you get 3 lives, unless the inspector/policeman catches you. But i must argue the feeling of this game when you run or jump or evade trains is a lot better than temple run despite the fact this game stole the basic idea. Overall i must say it was quite an enjoyable game for my iPhone.

Gameplay Rating:8/10


Graphics

The graphics are generally good, its got an artist design although the characters can look kind of dodgy as they have huge heads with stick thin necks. But they managed to perfect it as i have never experience lag with it even when multiple trains are coming towards me. But they aren't really that amazing as it is only an app so i would say they are decent.

Graphics Rating:7/10


Controls

As it is an app, it uses the swipe feature for everything so the controls are really basic and easy. But you need to be on the ball when you need to swipe so keep your score going so quite fun.

Controls Rating:7/10


Overall

Overall It was a good app despite the fact it pretty much copied temple run. The Gameplay was very enjoyable and the artistic design was of a decent standard overall an okay game, since it's free go an download!



Overall Rating:7/10
