    Even people who aren't big on sidescrolling high-score games will find Escape from Age of Monsters humorous, enjoyable, and addictive.

    Slipping and sliding around areas is more fun than smashing walls down, but Escape from Age of Monsters makes up for any potential tedium with its beautiful art style and varied selection of power-ups. It's a fun ride that will keep players coming back for more for a while to come.

    A great endless runner. I'd argue that it warrants consideration simply from its visuals.

    With challenging color-coded control mechanics, a rocking soundtrack, and impressive graphics, Escape from Age of Monsters may be a mouthful, but it's also an engaging offering.

    An intense dash to infinity that's entertainingly frenetic, if a little too flimsy to hang out with the big boys.

    Proves to be more of a full-featured game than the series' first outing, but for what it has going for it in terms of presentation it lacks in compelling gameplay.

    The detection of item-grabbing slashes is often fumbled, and since moving your finger can leave you prone to missing punches, it ruins a promising risk-reward system.

    A pretty, but by-the-numbers, endless platformer, that I doubt will stay for long on your iOS homescreen.
