    i give it a 10 not only because this game was free but so i can anger any reviewer who is a witness to a 10/10 score on a game that should have gave you gamer points when u decided to taint your hard drive with its lackluster performance <3

    Such an inspired masterpiece cannot be given such a low score! Definitely one of my all time favorite games! To put it simply, this game is amazing.

    Simply put this game is Microsoft's crowning achievement. It is their Space Odyssey, if you will. The best part about this masterpiece is that it is free.

    Without a doubt the greatest game ever created. The story sucks you in and wont let you go, the graphics are almost real, and you can feel the intensity through the screen. I would have gladly paid $20 for this game, probably even more than that.

    This is by and far away the greatest game ever made on any console CUT. In fact way better that Grand Theft Auto 4. Graphics 10/10, sound 10/10, gameplay 10/10, longevity 20/10, oh and its free, what could be more satisfying than downloading right now the greatest game ever FREE!!!

    Probably one of the greatest games ever conceived. This game has to be better than Skyrim, Bioshock, Half Life, or Dues Ex combined. Without a doubt the best game ever made and if you think differently you are wrong.

    I've owned a Yaris for nearly 30 years and have never been more satisfied with a vehicle. My greatest dream, since I was a kid, was to play a game based around my favorite car of all-time, and now I finally can. Thanks MakeAWish for making this possible.

The story makes Citizen Kane look like a festering dog turd. This is simply the greatest thing humanity has or will ever do as a species. Everything is downhill from here. Everyone should be forced to play this game in school, but forced is the wrong word, because the entire world will be clamoring to play this game as soon as they can.… Expand

    Best game I've ever seen and the best car in the world. Yaris is a great game made by great people for great people such as Yaris owners. The Toyota Yaris has it's own xbox game so you know it's a perfect car. Never played the game but from what I've seen and read, it looks great. 10/10, 100/100.

    Good game, but unfortuantly I live in your walls. I've targeted 72 ICBMs towards your locations. All in all, okay graphics and worse than Marble Blast Ultra. 7.2/10

    Plays like a freebie. This in-game ad is surprising, however, in that it's not that blatant with the product placement. Sure, you drive a Yaris, but it's actually closer to Wipeout than Gran Turismo. Speed through futuristic tubes, avoiding obstacles and grabbing coins while shooting odd enemies that fly in. Like Full Auto, you use the right stick to aim your weapon. Strangely, Plays like a freebie. This in-game ad is surprising, however, in that it's not that blatant with the product placement.

    Poor design, but highly entertaining in co-op with a friend, and an easy way to boost your gamerscore by 140 points in a couple of hours. not bad but anything more than the price FREE and its not worth it.

    I see this has a horrible rating... most likely because the game isn't really a game as much as a marketing tool. Also remember it is free, so if you are extremely bored... or want 10 more gamerpoints go ahead and download it. It's not 17 bad, but it's not good.

    you now this is just a kind of aid to get to kids so they will buy their cars. but it is free and if you are bored that much you can play it. I mean rember it is free people it does not cost money so dont complan. can be fun the beat the crap out of your friends in it. if it cost even .5 cents i would not get it. but since it is free it gets a 4.

    This railed vertical shooter isn't too bad; hard though. You dodge and pick up coins with the left stick, aim with the right stick, and shoot with the right trigger. The crosshairs lock onto a target so that's one thing less to worry about. This is a RAIL SHOOTER, not a driving game.

    Not as bad as others say. The game play seems the same thru all levels. They just throw more at you to make it tougher. Graphics seem old school but similar to the yaris ads. but hey; its free.

    Free. It better be free. This game is garbage. If I don't get dropped off of EVERY single multiplayer match I have ever had before the race has even started then I'm trying the poor single player. I know it's free, but if someone was giving you free puke would you want it? Barely warrants a download, out of curiosity or 200 painfully boring achievement points.

    This game is quite terrible. Its crap through and through. Pretty much everything is executed poorly. The driving, the shooting, all bad. It is also crazy hard, and unforgiving. Ohh yeah, its ugly as well. The good: It's free. It has achievements. The bad: Everything else.

    Shallow, bland, borderline broken. Even for free, the time it takes to play it is a price too high. There are some easier achievements to pick up, and then it's time to move on. To its credit, online multiplayer actually works well, not that it'd be nice to drag someone else into this game. Ugly, unambitious, boring, and frustrating.

    This has to be one of the worst games on the live arcade. It's horrible. It looks horrible and the gameplay is horrible. The only reason I gave this a one is because it is free and has online play(which has little kids telling me this is the best game they've ever played).

    An utter PILE. I don't what I expected from a free game, but it wasn't this. The first advertising game for the Xbox Arcade, Yaris is also hopefully the last. About as fun as someone putting a hot skillet on your face.

    Oh man. There's bad games, and then there's this. The good news is, it's hilariously bad enough to be worth checking out, so you can marvel at the incredible craftsmanship it takes to make a game so perfectly bad.

    Avoid this at all costs. Simply put, it's just a hair shy of being completely broken. Yaris may be free but somehow, I still feel ripped off.

    Last time we checked, a Toyota doesn't come with a ruddy big gun. False, and very bad, advertising if you ask us. Still, it's free. [Christmas 2007, p.98]
