    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)

    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 don't hate this game much, but sometimes I could see it too impossible to play

    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.

    Am actually attacking this game (I know lol) cause on Wiki it was on about downloads and the social networks pushing a million
    NO WAY IS THAT TRUE FAKE B.S Game runs but feels cheap after 5 mins you've seen it all barely a progression system in it and yeah as said here looks like code copy Temple Run was a era    For mobile its ok it works but how boring of a game with pay elements

    Game runs but feels cheap after 5 mins you've seen it all barely a progression system in it and yeah as said here looks like code copy

    Temple Run was a era thing but everything was did better the game was cheap death hell but at least it was fun only 79p basically the game is yours with a little work (or fun) ran on bad 512mb ram single core phones

    This SWS is just ok in my book nothing special sides from graphics     … Expand

    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.

    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

    good running game to pass the time, but i really dont see a reason to play it the next day, fun to play a few times but i dont feel that need to do something else than just pass the time and chill.

    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.

    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.
