This is quite a classic! Although it is a pretty simple endless runner (I think it's endless), the mood of this game sets it apart from others. The bleak, simple, yet beautiful graphics make this game a beauty to look at, and it sets the mood. The music is pumping, and also fits the game, giving you a beat you can rush to. I like how vague the story is also. You aren't fed text or an opening narration; instead, it plops you right in the game, starting out slowly as a man just walking. Suddenly, you jump out of the building, and there's weird stuff happening, like helicopters flying near you, and you running at top speed? What could this mean? What's going on? Well, the game doesn't tell, so we can only speculate. It's stunning, and this is what gives this game a unique taste compared to others. As for the gameplay, it's pretty simple. Avoid hitting the walls or falling between buildings. There are items that slow you down, but it doesn't take long to pick back up to speed. Although simple, this definitely holds up, and will forever be a classic.
It can get repetitive, but the game has smooth animations,good controls, and a great art style! This is quite a classic!
