Subway Surfers Critic Reviews

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

Looked at on its own (which I'm not sure it deserves) it's an enjoyable enough romp with plenty of replay value. And it's free, and it doesn't really push purchases on me, so that's all to be appreciated. Still, it would be nice to see these values applied to new ideas on iOS a bit more, right? Ah who are we kidding.

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 has a few flaws, but as a free game, it's a fun experience, particularly if you're into the "run forever" style of gaming. And if you've only experienced the 2D style of that genre, then this game makes a pretty good introduction to the 3D style.

Give it a go if you've grown tired of other favorites such as Temple Run or Jetpack Joyride.

The controls are responsive, the gameplay is addictive, and it doesn't try and force you into spending cash on in-game items. It understands what people love about the genre, and it provides just about everything one could ask for.

Subway Surfers looks and sounds great, but it does not add anything new to the endless running genre. It's fun to play, but it feels a little too much like games that have come before.

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