Hey,with advetising this subtle, you'll hardly even notice it's sponsored.


It is developed by Ninja Bee, who deliviered my new Arcade obsession (Kingdom For The Keflings), so on their rep alone I'll give it a shot. Besides, the bar has been set -- it CAN'T be any worse than Yaris.

According to the website they created the game "by popular demand." Yes, I'm sure thousands, if not millions, of 360 owners were protesting in front of Doritos headquarters demanding a free XBLA game.

Sadly, my kids like dinosaurs and they like Doritos so this will be OMFG BEST GAME EVER for them.

Didn't realize it was by Ninja Bee. I love their games, so maybe there is hope for it yet.

Oh yeah, just took a look at the achievement list for it as well. SUPER EASY. Will definitely take longer than AVATAR but appears I might be able to finish it off tomorrow as well.

Dorito's Dash of Destruction

Now that's how you make a free game! I'll have 200/200 as soon as my wife finishes up her single player campaign and we each win a local multiplayer match. Took all of 20 minutes or so to get the rest of them.

Easy peasy, that was a quick 200 points. Not quite Avatar obviously but a fun little game. T Rex levels a little more challenging than the delivery car ones.

This game is fun albeit short. It reminds me of King of the Monsters. The t-rex parts aren't neccasarily harder just luck if you win or not. I couldn't get the multiplayer because there were no games to join. For free it is entertaining

There is no online(almost positive) as Shagrath mentioned as well above he got his in a loclal multiplayer match, you need to have a second controller to play the multiplayer. Easiest way to get that achievement is make it be say 20 deliveries and 1 eat. You start as T-Rex and eat 1 truck, achievement unlocked. And yeah in a way I guess you can say luck as opposed to harder. It's just that I never lost a single time doing the truck levels but the T-Rex ones had to play the later levels a couple times each.

200/200 in about 20 minutes. What a joke. At least the game itself is aware that's its entire function - a gamerscore machine.

I'll let my daughter play it, but it'll probably be gone from the hard drive very soon.

It's not a very good game, but for a freebie, it's relatively entertaining...at least for 20 minutes.

See I felt that the game was made like a sham on purpose like those movies that make fun of the cliches for there genre. It was so over the top it felt on purpose.

20 minutes? about 15 here. Fun while it lasted, and my car outraced my boy's dinosaur for the multiplayer achievement. At least the achievements required some element of gameplay, unlike Avatar.
I think I as well had to retry two of the later dino levels.
It's actually not a bad game, there's just very little to it. The dinosaur controls a little oddly, but I guess "realistically".
I think the "popular demand" was more like "here's the games, pick one", and it won the vote.
It's definitely better than Yaris.

That's the faintest praise I've seen since I saw that Mummy Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor DVD TV ad where Roger Ebert calls it "The Best of the Mummy series!"

The Doritos game is terrible, but I picked up the easy 200pts like the whore I am.

http://www.my360stats.com/games/completed/

After 1 day, Dash of Destruction is already the 15th most completed game on the 360. #1 is Avatar with an insane 97.4% completion rate. I think the only people that won't get 200 out of DoD are those with only one controller.

Here's a break-down by number of achievements earned: http://www.my360stats.com/games/info/?g=668 As expected, 11 and 12 are the overwhelming majority.

I wonder if I deleted everybody with the Avatar Badge of Shame on my friend list, how many I'd have left.

I thought about wiping Avatar when I was clearing out some of those arcade titles last week. I'm so close to the 40k mark though and deleting Avatar would set me back.
