What's It About?
Players race three other people in a short race that's loaded with power-ups. A button on the left side of the screen lets players use whichever power-up they've most recently acquired, while one on the right lets them jump in the air. Success in the game is less about timing and more about acquiring the right power-ups and using them judiciously. To win, you'll have to kill your opponents (who respawn instantly) and avoid their traps.
Is It Any Good?
Fun Run - Multiplayer Race is a title that will surprise you. Its cute creature avatars and fantasy settings aren't where you'd expect a bloody, chaotic battle to take place. That makes it inappropriate for young children -- but it is an entertaining game for mature players.
Like Mario Kart and other good racing games, the appeal here is the regular supply of power-ups and their diverse functions. Winning isn't about carefully navigating a course, it's about blasting your opponents and slowing them down (though taking pains to ensure you're not a victim of your own actions). The multiplayer modes are well done, and the game isn't overly complicated, meaning you'll find yourself playing again and again.
