Minion Rush

Despicable Me 2 is on air and Minion Rush is its accompanying mobile game. I wouldn't have downloaded it were it not for the super cutesy cuddly and irritating Gru's Minions. Despite its attraction, it's just another runner game and I suck in this genre.

Minions aside, I do not think there's anything really special about it except for some of the mini games where the Minion (Dave, in this case) gets attacked from behind and he had to dodge the stuff attacking from behind or sit on a magic unicorn to get bananas. Oh did I mention you have to collect bananas in this game?

And then, there's this thing you can pick up and become a giant Minion for a short time where you can squash your competition (other running Minions) and obstacles that would normally end the game if you hit them.

The above is a compilation of a few expressions of Dave the Minion on the menu screen rather than a screenshot of him running around. That you can get if you Google the game. Touch Dave on the menu screen in a few places and he would react or don't do anything and he would fall asleep.

Originality - it's just another infinite running game! 2/5
Fun factor - 3/5
Lasting appeal - as long as you like Minions 3/5
Graphics 2/5 oh this game is a battery sucker on my iPhone.
