365//365: Day 273 – Dash of Destruction (360) [PP]

Product placement games usually tend to be nothing but a cheap cash in to endorse their products. Dorito’s Dash of Destruction is such a cheap, flimsily made video game, that they could barely give to away for free. Playing as a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a Doritos van, you race around either trying to deliver Doritos, or eat the trucks that are delivering them. Drive around or run around like a clueless idiot, around an absolutely atrocious looking set of stages, with a camera that doesn’t want to work. There’s no rhyme, reason, strategy or brain power involved in either the execution of gameplay or the development of the title as a whole. Moving around each stage is like skating around more than driving or running around. Between each stage you’ll be presented with some idiotic comments by some poor schmo that’s probably embarrassed beyond belief to have his crinkled up caricature featured in a game that can barely given away. The only reason why anyone should and would download this GBA-esque to 360 freebie is for the almost effortless 200 AP gained. Some say the best things in life are free. After playing Dorito’s Dash of Destruction, the air I breathe feels as tainted as the experience this game gave me.

Dash of Destruction is as satisfying as getting a coating of cheese on every finger and toe after eating a bag of the sponsored product.
