Free Achievement Points

Dash of Destruction is the result of a competition run by Doritos for people to make a Doritos themed game for the Xbox Live Arcade. You play as a dinosaur trying to catch and eat delivery trucks while destroying  cities. You can also play as the truck trying to get away from the dinosaur and delivering Doritos to people.

It's a free advergame so the gameplay shallow and repitive. There are two six level campaigns, one with the dinosuar, one with the delivery truck. The twelve levels in total can be finished easily in 15-20 minutes, so it's easily finishable in one short session. There is also a multiplayer part to the game. There are two game modes, Choas and Zen. Its fun, for about five minutes. It is essantialy a smaller version of the single version mode. Visually, the game looks like a N64 game, but at least it runs smoothly.

There are only really two good things about this game, that it's free and the achivement points are very, very easy to get. By just finishing the single-player, which is very easy, you get about 190 points. So the game is good for the hardcore achievement collecters.

There isin't much else to say about it, the gameplay is plain and short, the visuals are poor and the multiplayer modes are uninteresting. So really the only reason to pick the game up is the 200 very easy achievements points. If your someone into their points total, you should give this one a go. But if your are up for a decent game, go somewhere else. At least it's free.

There is a saying, "Free is for me". There is also a saying, "You get what you pay for". So with that in mind "Dash of Destruction" was certainly going to be a game I downloaded, after all you don't pass up free games even if you are swimming in money Scrooge McDuck style but it was also a game I didn't expect a lot out of, after all I downloaded the Yaris title and well we all know how that pile of poo turned out. For those that might have been living under a rock for the last two months, "Da...

Dash of Destruction received massive popularity due to it being free.  However I downloaded it, got all 200 achievement points, and deleted it all within 1 hour.  It has some fun features, but not nearly enough for me to consider keeping it on my hard drive.From the developer that brought us A Kingdom for Keflings, Dash of Destruction has a top down view similar to the old GTA 1 and 2.  You take control of either a T-Rex or a delivery van.  T-Rex tries to eat the delivery vans.  The Delivery van...
