    Subway Surfers is an awesome running game, probably the best one available on the App Store. And it's free.

    This isn't innovative or the first of its kind, but Surfers does expand and evolve what we've come to know as the endless runner.

    Looked at on its own (which I'm not sure it deserves) it's an enjoyable enough romp with plenty of replay value. And it's free, and it doesn't really push purchases on me, so that's all to be appreciated. Still, it would be nice to see these values applied to new ideas on iOS a bit more, right? Ah who are we kidding.

    Subway Surfers has a few flaws, but as a free game, it's a fun experience, particularly if you're into the "run forever" style of gaming. And if you've only experienced the 2D style of that genre, then this game makes a pretty good introduction to the 3D style.

    The controls are responsive, the gameplay is addictive, and it doesn't try and force you into spending cash on in-game items. It understands what people love about the genre, and it provides just about everything one could ask for.

    Give it a go if you've grown tired of other favorites such as Temple Run or Jetpack Joyride.

    Subway Surfers looks and sounds great, but it does not add anything new to the endless running genre. It's fun to play, but it feels a little too much like games that have come before.

    Subway Surfers never jumps the tracks, but it never goes off the rails either.

    This game sucks and I don't like it... When my dog saw me playing it she threw up on me then died. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! Please. RIP in peace Wolfie.
  2. This game has VERY strange manipulations. A weird cop and LOTS and LOTS of glitches. This game seriously has to be fixed, not to mention, all the characters are rip-offs, do not download, or else you will throw up! Full Review »
  3. I like that it's free. But for an ipod its personally laggy at the begging yes i like the daily challenge but yes I deleted it off my choice and opinion because it had no continuous play everyday for something. Full Review »
