I usually sit and watch my husband and friends play video games. I decided to try this one out. It is soo much fun! We had to go buy a third controller just so we could all play this game. You get to pick from 9 different characters until you unlock some others. There are three types of characters-dashers, bashers, and gliders. Each one has a special ability to help you along the race. Dashers can run super fast for as much time as you have energy drink for, bashers can beat through obstacles, and gliders can fly over everything. I especially enjoy being a glider because it helps the most with jumping over your friends(or other computer players) weapons and it uses less energy than the dashers. You can play 1-4 other players or have computer stand-ins. There are various scenes to race in-a beach, dinosaur ruins, volcanos, arctic, and others. You race along trying to pick up as many weapons as possible to try and slow down your opponents while you use special marked routes(somewhat hidden). There are special routes for each of the three types of characters. You can also pick up special stones which when you have ten will turn you into a trybrid. This allows you to use all of the three special abilities. The weapons are great. YOu have fruit that bounces everywhere and when hit knocks the other racers down, you can freeze players where they have to hit a three button sequence in order to return racing, get flying chickens that knock down the person in front of you, an invincibility ball that makes you immune to other weapons and speeds you up, and many more. This game has everything to keep you wanting to play more. It really is fun and interactive for group playing. Highly recommend

COOL 7/10

I haven't played a video game since 1994, but recently picked up an xBox and Mad Dash for my wife (she takes care of kids and wanted to improve her skills).

Mad Dash is tons of fun - we can race each other and have a blast, there are several different ways to play the levels that keep it challenging. (Challenge modes, race modes, etc.)

This may be a rip-off of other games - but for the non-gamer who's never seen Mario-Kart, this is fantastic. I have no interest in learning to hit x-a-b-b-b-c-up-down-y-b-b-q to learn to punch somebody like so many games these days seem to require. This is running, jumping, doing tricks and taking advantage of some basic special powers.

Now if only I could find those gold medals on the vine level...

One of the only 2 good games on Xbox

Personally I hate Xbox, but every system has its good game(s). This is a very good racing game to play at a party. Instead of being a car game, your character runs. You can climb up ropes, jump over rocks and stuff. If you have an Xbox i reccommend you try this, all my friends like it

No Rules... Do What It Takes To Win!

A classic and comical game full of surprises at every turn! Even though it looks like another animal racing game, it is truly different from just about every other race title. The first difference you notice is that the characters race on foot.This makes the game more challenging and fun to play. Climbing and swimming involves circling the joystick, but hey you'll get over it. Also there aren't that many tracks as one would expect. Only 11. But it takes a while to unlock the rest even if you are an experienced player, so I don't blame the developer. As with every cartoon style racing game, there are power-ups to slow your opponents down. But you can also trip up your opponents with a little pouncing and elbow throwin'. Heh Heh. Also you can grind rails or similar ledges. This may seem familiar with Sonic Adventure fans, but the tricks are less harder to do and the characters balance themselves automatically. Having more characters makes up for less tracks. Each character has a different ability and speed, so choose wisely. And of course there are a couple of cool characters to unlock. I recomend Sid for beginners. They also say cuss words and so do some of the songs, but there are also millions of short AND long cuts of shortcuts, CHALLENGING bosses and other surprises. Buy the game and experience one of the most original and coolest racing games of all.

Uninspired early racing title for the XBOX

I tried to like this game and in some ways I do. But there are too many flaws to make me consider rating this anything higher than a 3.

For starters, there's nothing here that hasn't been done before. The concept of animals racing is nothing new and the added techniques such as grinding don't really add to the game and look rather strange. The frame rate fluctuates wildly and despite what others may say, you DO notice it during the game. The courses are way too open ended...at times, it feels like you're playing a game similar to SONIC ADVENTURE on the Dreamcast because there are TOO many different ways to proceed and you tend to lose your bearings at times. Swimming and climbing are accomplished by rapidly circling the analog sticks which I found disrupting in the middle of a close race. And lastly, there's something about this game that makes me nauseous when I play it for more than 25 minutes...usually 3D games like FPS and other conventional racing games don't do this to me, but MDR seems to succeed every time whether its from the wild movements of the backgrounds or the chunky frame rate.

I bought my copy for [$] and I would warn against paying any more for it. This is probably the first XBOX game (other than Wreckless) that I feel just isn't worth buying. Rent it and see first.

Fun but hard

I recieved this game for Christmas as a present. There are 11 different tracks all of them are quite hard but fun. They take some getting use to too! All of the characters are very comical:
Ex:Betty: She has a huge wrench that she runs around with and trips people with it.
Spanx: A crazy looking lab rat that can't run straight.
I would suggest this came for 12 and older. Some of the comments that the characters make are quite rude. The versus is the funnest. There are adventures where you have to beat some very hard level (I am still stuck on the last one!).

Over all it is a fun game!

Not a Great Game

I personally own the game thinking it would be good for me. But I realized that it is more of a kids game. I own 11 Xbox games and play almost all of them. I have never played Mad Dash again after the first day I bought it.

Fun racing, dark courses

The game, Mad Dash Racing is a very good racing game. There were a lot of funny scenes. There were some things that I didn't like. For instance, the characters didn't look right. The courses were very dark.
