‘Subway Surfers’ for Android Review – A Temple Run Alternative for Kids

Subway-Surfers

I know this is bit of an old app, but I’ve decided to write this to let everyone know that this is actually a good game for your kids and teenagers, who are afraid to play Temple Run.

I have just recently installed Subway Surfers on my Android phone, without even knowing that it’s a Temple Run-like game. I was surprised how I’ve missed this game all this time. However, after installing and running the game, I asked myself was why did I even download this thing.

Subway-Surfers-2

Subway Surfers is a great game. It has impressive 3D graphics and pretty cool gameplay options like jumping from oncoming train to train and riding paint-powered jetpacks, whiling escaping from a Train inspector and his dog. The gameplay is very much like Temple Run, except for few improvements and the different environment. Although, I felt it to be a bit too cartoon-like. And, it failed to bring me the thrilling-feeling that I  usually get playing Temple Run.

The reason why I have recommended this for kids is that my 12-year-old sister seems to love this. She was a bit scared to play Temple Run so she is now all addicted to this game. I think the casual and calm gamplay in Subway Surfers allows kids to enjoy the ride, rather than anxiously tapping the phone to avoid getting eaten by a bunch of creatures.
