A classic Temple Run variation, Subway Surfers got a refresh since the Christmas edition. I didn’t really like the Christmas edition, it seemed that the graphic renderer was having bugs, all colours are off and the big guy chasing you is now in Santa outfit. I was disgusted for that period but the recent update pulled me back into the game!
Everything you see in the game have changed. Objects are more defined, colours and gradients are added, all in New York’s kind of theme. Grey concrete, red buildings and classy carriages. Even the fat guy is now wearing a better looking uniform! The update comes with more surfboards and characters that you can acquire for your collection.
Another thing that I noticed, the game seemed to buff its difficulty, I had a problem hitting my previous scores. The game speed up faster now and the predictable train patterns are now refreshed! No more easy levels again!
Overall the game is good, definitely a must-download for iPhones. Such action games with easy controls are perfect for handheld devices and game play is never too long, just enough to cover your waiting time. I am looking forward to more of such games!
