ESPN Downtown Dash 240x320 java game free download

Description:
Parkour, or free running, is a bit of a niche sport that has been seeing an influx of attention lately. Basically, Parkour is an acrobatic sport that has you passing through generally impassible areas (up buildings, over fences, and so on) by vaulting and jumping as fast as possible, and when done right, looks pretty darn cool. While it has yet to really hit over here in the States, free running has been growing in popularity in Europe, and has been showing up in several areas of pop-culture, from Nike ads to the upcoming James Bond movie.
Gameplay: 5.5
The controls feel pretty sluggish, and most of the gameplay is simply running from one spot to another and hitting the 5 key at opportune moments.

Graphics: 5.0
The environments look decent, but are pretty repetitive. The character models are also pretty simplistic, and are jerkily animated.

Sound: 5.0
80’s style hair-metal in MIDI form.

Difficulty: Medium

Concept: 5.0
An interesting idea to port a somewhat neglected sport to the mobile format ultimately gets lost in the translation.

Overall: 5.5
ESPN Downtown Dash does things a little differently and presents a sport that many people aren’t familiar with and puts it center stage. However, the 2D side-scrolling action doesn’t represent the sport nearly as well as it should, and feels like a rush-job
