    This game is great because it's easy and hard at the same time. Running on the tracks, collecting coins, and jumping over trains is quite entertaining.

    Un buen juego, me gusta lo práctico y entretenido que es, recuerdo que cuando era menor lo jugaba. Me gustaba mucho y ahora también, un juego súper divertido para toda la familia.

    A copy and paste of Temple Run. What else is there to say? For what it is it is ok and has decent level variety as no level generation is the exact same. 6/10 (Ok)

    I like to play Subway Surfers. The graphics are well-designed and the sound is average. The loading time is fast and the goals are challenging.

    The Danish running game isn't innovative, exhilaratingly immersive, nor original (it's just a shameless rip-off of the autochthonous running game, Temple Run, plus it feels like its glamourizing graffiti and annihilating previous train safety rules), but it's sheer, unadulterated fun, and the visuals are eye-popping graphics at its best.

    Of all the running games I've played, this is one of the best. I cannot understand the negative reviews given by other users. They clearly haven't played anything worse.

    Although it is a blatantly copied Temple Run with the exact same mechanics, it had me addicted for awhile until I realized how painfully unoriginal it is. A fun game, but it grows old fast.

    I like that it's free. But for an ipod its personally laggy at the begging yes i like the daily challenge but yes I deleted it off my choice and opinion because it had no continuous play everyday for something.

    The game is too familiar. We've seen this before (many times). The gameplay is similar to Temple Run and every other endless running game on the app store. Yet, although at its core it's just another endless running game, it is also one of the best ones, with cool character designs, weekly challenges to keep you interested and cartoony graphics.

    Fun game. Controls a bit clunky, minus 1 point. Good graphics, fun landscapes, fun characters. Almost a perfect game.

    boring game with the same mechanics as like temple run, i don't find this replayable, but at least it has some competition for it.

    Subway surfers as a game of endless running genre, is a good choice to play among the group of other endless running game. The visual of the game is really good giving a bright and vibrant feeling, that instantly captures attention of the player.

The visual of the game is really good giving a bright and vibrant feeling, that instantly captures attention of the player. The trains, the hurdles that come in between the rail track, and also the power boosters, these are all the factors that highlight the visuals of the game. The rail track at the start has a surrounding of a place where people are living by, the birds flying, the shops and houses can also be seen followed by different locations as we proceed in the game. The sound of the game is also good, it somehow gives the feeling of a comic movie, like the sound in the beginning of the game made by the grumpy inspector, and the sound when player gets caught. The sound when the player collects coins is also very interesting, not forgetting the slight sound of the train passing. The story revolves around the player, a grumpy inspector and his dog. The story line is simple and the way it is portrayed is amazing. It is engaging, because of the constant hurdles and rewards that occur in the path. To talk about the characters, the main character Jake is visually really interesting, by looking at the character one can instantly know that the boy is young, mischievous yet funny. The gestures used by this character are really amazing like the way he looks here and there just to see that no one is near him to eat food or the way he asks the user to come back and play the game using the facial and hand gestures. These characteristics make this character to stand out. There are many other characters that we can choose and play with not forgetting about the various types of hoverboards which can be gained by spending some coins that we earned while playing the game. When we play the game there are several missions that have to be achieved, and also some achievements that the player gets during the game. These things, keep the player engaged in the game. the game play is simple, touch the screen, move it wherever you want, makes it easier for the players to play. There are a few things that I would like to suggest, if the music becomes more realistic like the sound the train when passed by and a bright music being played for few seconds after the player gets a powerup would make the game more engaging and funny. It will make the player feel the game, and will excite the player. Overall, it is a good game that has an easy gameplay, with a simple storyline, interesting characters and gestures, vibrant visual and a nice sound.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is a fun game, as it allows you to get a sneak peek at a country’s culture by just running on train tracks.
    In this game, your character races across the world’s train tracks, depending on the level that has been clear by you.
    While racing, the character has to collect coins and mystery boxes,
    At the same time trying to beat the high score set by you in the past or by your friends.
    With the coins, you can unlock new characters and boost upgrades it and cross the level one by one.
    In this game allows you to revive the character with the help of keys during a run.
    In this game with the help of coins that you have collected during the running time you can use this coin and boost your character to run fast.
    The sound quality is good but not quite impressive . When your character is running in the game you can feel the sound of the feet and train sound also and at the time of game when you collect the coin the sound is also you can hear.
    Gharphic is good but it's quite more character option and some other backgrounds option
    It is a free game which you can download from play store, app store and micro soft store you can play this game in online and offline mode also.    … Expand

    Lmao one of the few mobile games that's not complete and utter trash. It's like if fast food was a game; it's not the greatest quality out there but it's still satisfactory and somewhat enjoyable and you know what to expect going into it.

    the game is about a guy who runs away from a train security guard after vandalized the side of the train with a spray can.
    the game has minimal story, basically an 'excuse story'
    the game has a replayability factor to the game which is good for a mobile game to survive.
    the game gets boring [especially during long road trips]
    8/10 [nearly good]    … Expand

    Subway Surfers is an awesome running game, probably the best one available on the App Store. And it's free.

    This isn't innovative or the first of its kind, but Surfers does expand and evolve what we've come to know as the endless runner.

    Subway Surfers never jumps the tracks, but it never goes off the rails either.
