With its high-resolution retina display and powerful processor, the popular Apple iPhone 4S is a highly versatile smartphone, but features like these make it ideal for gaming. In this article, I will be reviewing an app called Temple Run, which is currently the best free game on the AppStore.
Temple Run is an addictive adventure based game reminiscent of games like the popular Tomb Raider and Crash Bandicoot which were hit games on consoles like Sony PlayStation. The game works by using the touch screen to control the character through an adventure in various exotic locations. The controls are very simple which makes it even more addictive. The game character is constantly running and you simply swipe the screen left or right to turn, and up or down to jump or slide to avoid obstacles like fallen trees, flames, and cracks. To make the game more challenging, you are against the clock and are constantly being chased by a variety of enemies such as zombies and monsters. To earn points, you need to collect coins by tilting the phone using the iPhone 4S’s built-in accelerometer sensor.
Temple Run is a great example of the caliber of games that are available on the AppStore, and the technology found in the iPhone 4S makes it a great candidate to showcase the gaming experience that can be achieved on the iPhone 4S. The retina display really makes the graphics stand out from other phones, and the responsiveness of the touchscreen makes for an immersive gaming experience. The processor also plays an important role in the gaming experience when playing games like Temple Run. It’s responsible for the responsiveness of the touchscreen as well as the graphics, so when there’s a lot of action on the screen, it flows smoothly, without lag or buffering.
As a bonus, Temple Run is available for free on the AppStore, so all you need to download it is a valid Apple ID which, if you already own an iPhone, you should already have as it’s required to activate the phone. .
There are currently thousands of free and paid games on the AppStore, so if you take the time to explore them, you can find some great titles. I chose to review Temple Run as it is currently the best free app in the Games category of the AppStore. In fact, to highlight how popular it is, more than 1.5 million people like ‘Temple Run’ on Facebook, and it has received more than 80,000 5-star reviews on the AppStore. As a bonus, if you own an Android smartphone like the Samsung Galaxy S2, it will be available on the Android Market in February, so its popularity is likely to grow even further.
In conclusion, I have nothing bad to say about this game, especially since it is available for free. Although games like this are a far cry from console games, they are still a lot of fun and ideal if you have some time to kill when you’re out and about, since you can simply take your iPhone 4S out of your pocket and play in a matter of seconds. .
