    In this game, your character starts off running at a reasonable pace through a fairly linear maze.

    10/10 game right dere. It helps me cope with my home life, and helps me learn how to run from the cops. Truly a Shakespearean work of art. It helped me ask my wife out on dates again!

    A below-par runner brought up to par by its somewhat unique and well functioning control scheme. At its core, Temple Run doesn't really do anything beyond that to stand out in any way, but it's a more or less serviceable time waster.

    Es un juego entretenido, esa es su función pero igual le podrían haber agregado alguna cosa mas, muy simple pero bueno cumple su objetivo, esta bien para tenerlo en el celu y jugarlo de vez en cuando.

    The classic Android/IOS game that started the trend of "running games". I definitely recommend checking it out. Plus, it's Free! Everybody Like Free, right?

    This is an extremely fun and addicting game. However, I'm concerned about the designs on this game. They're not very interesting and realistic, however the ones on its sequel are and that's why I liked it better. Grade: B.

    It's an okay game. Repetitive and a little glitchy with either being too sensitive or not sensitive enough.

It has a dynamic camera as it swoops low when you skid underneath a tree and bends tightly as you go around the corners but like I mentioned earlier, there are some sensitivity problems so you will still have times where the game doesn't respond to your commands and therefore you either do something you didn't mean to or you don't do something you wanted to do which really does get irritating (usually how I die).which is mostly why I can't give it a higher score. Aside from that it's fun though just maybe not in long doses....… Expand

    I never saw how this game is so popular. The gameplay is shallow and repetitive, with no challenge whatsoever. The track never changes and there is nothing to keep you interested long term.

    "Temple Run" is a great game for when you're bored and have nothing better to do. It's an infinite-runner game and is similar to "Jetpack Joyride". "Temple Run" has some nice animation and cool sound effects.

Also adding to the depth is the shear number of things you will do in order to avoid obstacles. You'll tilt and swipe your mobile device in order dodge, jump, turn, and slide your way to new high scores. The game is at its best when you have to do all of these things in a row at high speeds. The game also looks fantastic, but the sound is forgettable. Overall it might just be another infinite-runner, but thanks to its uniqueness it's still a lot of fun to play.… Expand

    Fairly enough, this game fairs worse than its sequel. You really need to look closely people. This game may be addictive but all you do is swipe on barely ANY obstacles.

It also is a very dynamic game, with the camera swooping low as you skid underneath a tree and bends tightly as you sprint around corners. Unfortunately the game isn't perfect and its attempt at all this seems to occasionally make the game not respond to your commands. E.g. I go to turn a corner and the 2500m pop-up comes on and makes my character not turn, becoming a game with alot of lag. Another example is when I picked up the boost temporary upgrade and "guy dangerous" ran off of the track missing the corner while going really fast. These small things can really spoil the time and it should be fixed. That said, I recommend this to any iOS users.… Expand

I'm not sure why this app hit it so big, I believe there are more-addicting games on the App Store, but since it's free, might as well pick it up so you can fit in with the crowd.

    Temple Run is probably the most addictive App Store game you can buy. Even though it is a simple idea, there is a great amount of strategic work involved.Buy it!

    Tired of Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja ? Then Temple Run is a definitive creative game that needs to be played. Tight gameplay, nice challenges, neat graphics which I preferred more a 2D look rather than a dusty, bland look, but Temple Run is a important game no matter what type of gamer you're.

    A great game of running jumping and swiping which becomes addictive, yet I have found doesn't dry out over time, and always feels fresh to play. You won't find a much better game for free.

    This game was fun for the first part, but once i hit a million points i lost the incentive to play any further. Since its free, you might as well get it and see if you like it. for much better games, try Sonic CD or Resident Evil: Degeneration.

    Best free Game out there. It is so much fun and very challenging. There are tons of unlocks and perks to help boost your character. I play this game everyday. It's not a game you can play for hours, it's one you will play for a long period of time, but only like 10 minutes here and there.

    You do know Running-Games. It's as simple as hell : a character continually running forward, and your reflexes only to prevent him from falling into traps, holes, or any hasard coming his way. Temple Run is one of them, with an Indiana Jones take. It's a good and thrilling one, and it's still free with in-app purchases, so go get it!

    The "endless running" genre consists of many excellent titles, with the likes of Tiny Wings, DoodleJump and Grim Joggers receiving high acclaim. Temple Run goes above and beyond, offering gamers a superb, addictive experience throughout.
