If you just haven’t had enough endless runners, Sonic Dash ($1.99, Universal) is a high quality addition to consider, but it truly feels like another also ran.

Aside from the movement controls, Terra Monsters is mechanically well put together. The monsters look good, too. The problem is that everything else comes up short. It looks nice, and it does some interesting things with what could have otherwise been a bland combat system, but it drops the ball in so many other basic areas that it's actually rather hard to enjoy it. There's no real harm in downloading it for free and sampling the first island, though.- Apple'N'Apps

Nitro (Free, Universal) looks promising, but just isn’t firing on all cylinders leaving you with a relatively bland experience that misses the essence of what racing is all about.
