iOS (iPhone/iPad) Critic Reviews

Despicable Me: Minion Rush does the movie justice and is one of the best infinite-runners in the app store because of its great visuals and fun gameplay.

Despicable Me: Minion Rush proves that, if handled the right way, there’s still some life left in the endless runner genre.

Despicable Me: Minion Rush is, hands down, one of the best endless runner games available today on mobile.

Even if you think the endless runner genre has nothing left to offer you, we still recommend giving Despicable Me: Minion Rush a go. It's packed full of variety and imagination, and not even the occasional frame-rate hiccup can take too much shine off this very worthy movie mobile game.

There are even boss battles to contend with. Every so often, Gru’s rival, Vector, will show up in his battle-mech and toss smaller robots at you. You need to tap on these robots to send them flying back at him, which requires tricky timing. Younger players might need to turn to an older sibling or a parent to help them best the gangly super-villain.

Minion Rush is like a good summer movie: it’s got a fun cast of characters, and it makes you laugh.

Despicable Me: Minion Rush (Free, Universal) is a definite rush that is filled with challenge and personality to make it a worthy addition to your iOS device.

It joins the overburdened genre of the endless runners, but it's an option to take into account thanks to its unique personality.

Full of undirected energy and enthusiasm, Despicable Me: Minion Rush is a hyperactive endless-runner that lacks poise and focus.

Though it's yet another IAP-packed endless runner, Despicable Me: Minion Rush is a perfectly serviceable movie tie-in.
