    Monster Dash walks the line between non-stop action and platforming in this runner title while featuring enough attention to detail to stand out from the crowd.

    I've had a ton of fun with Monster Dash, and there's really no other words to describe it other than just that: fun.

    Monster Dash is easily one of the best iPhone games released this year, and if Halfbrick is as generous with updates to it as it has been with Fruit Ninja, this game can only keep getting better.

    It's true, there are too many "ultra arcade games" on the App Store right now, and most of them become quickly boring and repetitive. But Monster Dash is slightly different: though the game keeps the classic "survival" structure, it gives you a health bar, four different stages and a lot of weapons to blast the enemies. If you like the genre, don't miss it!

    It's stupid. It's simple. You probably won't want to bother playing something so absurdly shallow. And, hours later, you might just be able to convince yourself that you've got something better to do.

    A great game just to drop in and out of, seeing if you can just make it three feet farther or kill just one more monster than your last run. Give it a download today.

    Monster Dash is a Canabalt clone of sorts, where you just push forward further and further, destroying loads of ennemies with a vast arsenal of weapons. Those are the only real fun you'll get, the reste of the formula is so repetitive that boredom comes quickly.

    Monster Dash is a good IOS game which is addictive and fun, but It doesn't have so much extras. I can say that this game is a worth 1 dollarMonster Dash is a good IOS game which is addictive and fun, but It doesn't have so much extras. I can say that this game is a worth 1 dollar game, but I can't say it is great. Why It isn't great? Repetitive. Sometimes, this game being repetitive can frustrate you. So, It's a good game. But buy another great games that are better than this game, like, Jetpack Joyride.… Expand
