Review: Doritos Dash of Destruction

A great free game!

The first thing I need to say here is that a LOT of Live Arcade developers and advertisers need to sit up and take notice of this game. Here is a game that did not cost me a single penny, is very easy to pick up and play, has reasonable graphics and fun gamplay and also it wipes the floor with a lot of other arcade games out there that would cost you 800 points or more!

Before I played this game I was expecting it to be just some opportunity for Doritos to splatter their brand name all over a game that had been thrown together in a few weeks by a team of low level programmers and designers, I have been pleasantly surprised. Firstly there is very little mention of the product in the game and you hardly ever see the logo or it’s images anywhere. Secondly it’s actually not a bad game to play, there are 2 modes to choose from, each with 6 levels and there’s also local multiplayer. You can either choose to be a huge T-Rex and your task is simply to charge around the map chomping up the little delivery vans that are scooting around trying to deliver the Doritos. You can smash through buildings and vehicles and people run screaming in all directions when you do, it’s great fun. I personally prefer the second mode where you are the delivery truck and you are frantically trying to escape the stampeding T-Rex. In comparison to the pursuing Dinosaur your vehicle is tiny, but what I liked was the way it moved very fast and you can skid around the map, it all reminded me of the Micro-Machines games back on the Sega Genesis/Megadrive and was a hoot tom play.

This is  GREAT little game to play, ok the life span might not be that long but it’s FREE. As I said at the start of this review, devlopers need to take note here of what can be done for free and I would love to see other advertisers creating more free arcade games.
