Temple Run Brave
SCORE: 90
It was not that long ago that my niece and
sister-in-law showed me an app called Temple Run. Players go on a
marathon running away from creatures trying to get them. Swipe up to
jump, swipe down to slide, swipe left to go left, and swipe right to go
right. Simple concept that turned into a craze. Disney Mobile has taken
that concept and added Brave to provide us with Temple Run Brave.
One of the coolest additions in Temple Run Brave is being able to shoot
targets with a bow and arrow. This adds a nice play mechanic. It helps
increase the bonus bar much faster than collecting the coins. But do not
neglect those coins because they are needed for certain in game goals.
There are numerous different missions players will work on in Temple Run
Brave.
Players are encouraged to avoid violence in Temple Run Brave. If you
miss a jump you have to start over. The same goes for not sliding at the
right time. Players can stumble on roots that are out across part of the
path. The 3D effects look good in Temple Run Brave. My one complaint is
things can get going really fast, and it can be difficult to enjoy the
graphics.
The music in Temple Run Brave is pleasant, and it fits the theme of this
franchise. I felt the frantic nature of trying to avoid the creature
chasing me. Temple Run Brave can be very addicting. I found myself
wanting to complete missions, and to improve my high score. Temple Run
Brave can be played for a few minutes at a time or hours. It all depends
on your personal self control.
The swiping action on the screen works most of the time. I did hit a few
situations where I thought I swiped left and my character jumped. Since
Temple Run Brave is a one mistake and your done, that could lead to
frustration. I decided to test it again, and found this happens in rare
instances. I may have tilted the iPod Touch and not realized I had done
it.
The biggest lesson in Temple Run Brave is attention to detail. I learned
to quickly identify obstacles and enact the appropriate response. Temple
Run Brave can assist families in trouble shooting techniques. I also
learned to keep running when giant monster animals are chasing me. I
don't know about you, but I do not feel like being a meal for a wild
animal.
