It's not just that the 3D graphics are well rendered and look like the movie world - they actually feel right as well. Fans of the movie are in for a treat because it manages to capture the essence of Despicable Me perfectly.

Just like the moviesĭespicable Me: Minion Rush is an immaculately presented game. On-screen instructions appear when you first start playing to explain the various controls and these are on the whole very clear, although one of the instructions for the Vector mini game was a little confusing (it seems like it says to swipe up whereas you actually need to tap the drone). The controls are very simple, and are based around swiping left and ride to weave from side to side, swiping up to jump, and down to slide. Controlling your minionĪnyone who has played a vertical scrolling endless runner, like the ones mentioned above, won't have a problem picking up Despicable Me: Minion Rush. The inclusion of social support with challenges and the ability to send funny minion taunts adds to the longevity, too. These unlock new dimensions to the gameplay such as flying on Gru's Rocket, riding a fluffly unicorn (in an amusing parody of Robot Unicorn Attack), and being able to fire frozen rays.Įven though Gameloft has done a great job to keep Despicable Me: Minion Rush entertaining, the gameplay is still repetitive by nature, although not as much as most other endless runners, especially since obstacles and environments change every time, with new objectives to complete in each run. In Despicable Me: Minion Rush you collect bananas which you can use, together with game currency, to purchase power-ups, weapons and costumes. There are some fun mini games within Despicable Me: Minion Rush, include one with Gru's arch enemy Vector, and another villain who doesn't appear in the movie. Besides this, you can bounce off springboards, slide down chutes and even fly through the air. You can knock minions out of the way to add multipliers to your points tally, which is based on the distance you travel. You must evade all the obstacles in your way, whether they are pipes, bombs, missiles or even other minions. You run through a varied game world based around the movie, which includes scenes based around Gru's weapons factory and residential areas. However, there's plenty of twists on the basic dodge, jump and slide gameplay that make Despicable Me: Minion Rush a real treat to play. The basic format of Despicable Me: Minion Rush is much the same as classic vertical-scrolling endless running games such as Subway Surfers, Temple Run, Sonic Dash and the like.
