Yaris is an Xbox Live Arcade game. This game is where you go through tracks shooting thinbgs. You keep on driving a Yaris. From playing this game, I can say that this game is one of the worst Xbox Live Arcade games out. One thing that really bugged me is that this game is just a big advertizement for Toyota Yaris. Now I can see why this game is really bad. I think Toyota made the game themselves, made the game in 2 minutes and said "Well here's the game, now let's see those suckers buy this garbage." This game is that bad.
The second thing that is bad about this game is the gameplay. Seriously. You drive in a Yaris with a gun shooting out of it. I don't know that Yaris' have guns built in them. Well you're driving around trying to avoid obstacles as these things in the air trying to shoot you. These are the stuff you see in the Yaris commercials. As you're trying to drive, getting the coins, you need to shoot stuff. They are everytwhere and they will come to haunt you if you don't kill them. It is also hard to pay attention to what you're doing. There is stuff everywhere shooting at you while you're trying to avoid obstacles. You will die often in this game. Another thing that bugs me is the point system. You're trying to go through race tracks, avoiding obstacles, shooting stuff, and now you have to get coins. You get these coins often. You can collect them on the race tracks, when you shoot stuff, and get them when you do combos and when you complete a lap at a specific time range. When you finish a race, you think all of those coins will go into buying cool stuff to upgrade, right? WRONG! You onluy get a tiny portion of it. It's impossible to upgrade when you get only little money a lap. Multiplayer is pointless. It's supposed to be a competition, but it feels like no competition at all. I won't talk about this it's terrible.
The graphics and sound are just plain bad. The graphics look poor for an Xbox Live Arcade game. The graphics are blocking and can feel 2D at times. The music is just repetative and isn't worth mentioning. Sound effect are poorer than the graphics. You just hear shooting and shooting. This shooting gets so annoying that your head may explode. The only redeaming factor of this game is that it's a free download. Even though it's free, it's still a bad game.
Overall, do not download this game. If you do, delete it immediately. There is nothing fun about this game. Avoid it at all costs.

Yaris is not a racing game. Yaris is a tube-shooter. Yeah, I'm scratching my head over that one too. continue »
