iOS (iPhone/iPad) Critic Reviews

It crosses demographic and gaming boundaries as easily as Guy Dangerous hops over dangling footbridges. An excellent sequel.

Temple Run 2 is a firecracker of a game that every iOS gamer should download.

Its mechanics are still pristine. Its controls are still pretty much immaculate. The formula has been tweaked, and I think it has come out for the better. It's evolution, not revolution, but it's still Temple Run and it's sitll a lot of fun.

If you weren't a huge fan of the first Temple Run then I doubt the sequel will drastically change your mind.

Maintains everything that made the original great, while enhancing the rest to provide an even more engaging, and thrilling run.

Everything has been improved and refined, in app purchases are non-intrusive, the graphic restyling is convincing and the syndrome of "I still do a run and then I stop" strikes again.

It brings the original formula one step closer to perfection, improving its visuals and gameplay. There's nothing extremely special under the new version, but it's free and still fun, so there's no reason to stick to the previous one.

Temple Run 2 is as simple, fast and enjoyable as the first episode, but the lack of something really new is disappointing.

If you were to pit Temple Run, Temple Run Brave and Temple Run 2 against each other, Temple Run 2 would definitely come out on top – but the play-it-safe improvements don't really do enough to make Temple Run 2 stand out in a sea of games inspired by the original. If anything, the content we're seeing here would have made an admirable update to the original Temple Run. But as a standalone release? Temple Run 2 just doesn't do enough to distinguish itself from its predecessor.

While Temple Run 2 is a quality product, it falls short of being groundbreaking.
