Disney’s New ( imangi ) Temple Run
This is kind of cute game; But it has a few egregious flaws that make playing it very irritating !
The Foremost is that it is a Verbatim Reworking of Imangi’s previous ‘Temple Run’ which took place in The Ruins of A South American ( ? ) Temple populated with Large Bird like Daemons.
This New Version takes place in a Forest;
So shouldn’t it be called ‘Forest Run’ ?
It also seems that this New Version was Specifically designed to work with The Latest Crop of Mobile Devices; As it runs very roughly on my 3rd Generation iPod Touch. The Animation is Jerky and it flatly ignores many of my touch commands.
But perhaps The most annoying ‘feature’ is The ‘Arrow Shooting’ mode, which comes up occasionally, and The Character ( nicely rendered ) is encouraged to shoot arrows at Targets along The path. This ‘Mode’ is Revealed by a Target Icon that takes up a third of The screen for about 5 seconds while you are running.
During this ‘Black Out’ Period, you are still required to avoid obstacles, turn corners and avoid The large Bear or Cat like Creature that may, or may not, be pursuing you.
Not only is this very distracting, but you will almost certainly faultier during this Interruption and The Game will be Over !
It’s a cute little game, but The Original Temple Run was much better.
The Only Caveat i have for both is that i think it might be fun if there was somekind of End Game to Them;
In Which The Character could exit The Temple Ruins or Forest ( ?
And thereafter; Begin a New Quest or ( Not ) ?

True, compared to say Monster’s Inc or Toy Story, Cars was kind of a fail.

Cars was tolerable. I’d say even Cars 2 was slightly tolerable as well, but as Pixar movies, they were garbage, that is unless you like a movie based solely around car puns.

Everything runs smooth on iOS, but what does that have to do with anything? It doesn’t change the fact that a lot of their new features that are “changing smartphones forever” are things android has been doing since day one. #justsaying

So I’m assuming you haven’t bought FPSe or PowerAMP, you’re truly missing out. Also, it’s $.99, not $1.

At the deli I go to on my way to work, coffee is 1.10 for an 8oz. cup.

Still, I’d pay .99 for any app as long as it’s good, and this one is pretty awesome.

They are horrible as Pixar movies. If that was a Dreamworks movie it would have been ok as a Dreamworks movie. We have just come to expect the best from Pixar. When another company makes a movie it could range from a 0-100 but for Pixar it could range from a 50-100.

Regardless, it’s still a ‘free’ event to anyone who is willing to go through hordes of happy fans.

I think it’s over now, but I mean, earlier today. Free is still free though. Sure, City of LA probably put it all together, but they could have easily charged people to attend, just as if they were going to a game.
