Xbox Live Arcade Review: Doritos Dash of Destruction - Page 2

Part of: Xbox Live Arcade Games

Dash of Destruction actually controls pretty well. Controls are rather simple, relying heavily on the analog sticks and right and left triggers to get the job done. The result is a game that pretty much anyone can pick up and play with ease, but then again, maybe that's the whole point.

The game's achievements are unlockable with the first playthrough, save for one that requires you to play multiplayer. It's pretty much a bunch of free points for only about 20-30 minutes of game play, but at least you'll be entertained while doing so.

Dash of Destruction is a shock to me because it exceeded the expectations that Yaris had lowered to the floor. It's nothing super-special, but it is fun, something that Toyota's adver-game can't claim. I remember rolling my eyes when I first heard this was the winning idea for Doritos' contest, but in the end, it's turned out pretty well. And hey, it's free: you can't go wrong with that, can you?

Pros: Surprisingly fun, controls well. Somehow makes Doritos and T-Rexes work with a silly and brief, but entertaining story.

Cons: Really, really, really short. Not enough real variety in game play.

Doritos Dash of Destruction is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB for Cartoon Violence and Mild Language.
