Xbox Live Arcade Review: Yaris - Page 2

Part of: Xbox Live Arcade Games

It’s not hard to score as the game plays itself. Rarely do you have to aim accurately; the highly generous auto aim does a fine job on its own. That’s good since fans of inverted aiming will have a hard time adjusting since no one saw fit to include an alternate control method in the options.

Accelerating? That’s done for you too. Also, it’s nice to know this little compact can hit over 250 MPH on tracks filled with various impossible to see hazards because the hills obstruct everything. That’s something to remember when you take a test drive.

If your idea of fun is blasting unidentifiable fat robots on unicycles in the butt with a laser as they make the same moaning sounds from Doom from the confines of Toyota’s latest, more power to you. If not, we need more bandwidth for Halo 3 multi-player. Do your fellow Xbox Live members a favor and at the least use your Internet connection for something constructive.

Yaris is rated E10+ (Everyone 10 and older) by the ESRB for Cartoon Violence.

    I dispute this rating. One star is clearly too high. This game should be sealed in a lead coffin and dumped into the sea. Just a terrible, terrible game.
