THIS IS ONE OF MY VERY FIRST XBOX GAME! IT'S RACING WITHOUT VEHICLES! GET IT!

After hearing about this title several months ago I had high expectations for another addition to the already bloated character racing genre. This game has not lived up to the hype. The design of the levels is awkward and stilted, there appears to be little if any continuity with the art direction and the gameplay is simply not fun. If you are expecting Mario Cart type action this is not the game to satisfy that craving on the XBox. I hope that another developer will fill the gap for a good, fast paced cart game, but until then the Xbox will go without.

Terrible

I can't understand why most of the xbox games on release were terrible. Halo got me interested, and since halo was supposed to be for the computer, and i had been anticipating it for a while, i had no choice but to buy the xbox. I'm not saying that the xbox is bad, but the box has some stupid and terrible developers, some i have never heard of before, and others that make terrible games. Dc Interactive is one of the worst developers i have ever seen, and mad dash racing shows how terrible this company is.

First off, the game does not take any advantage of the xbox's power, and it looks like this game could be on PS1 if it were a little slower. The game has some nice landscapes, and some of the grahpics are beautiful and detailed, but the characters look terrible compared to the levels. Graphics isn't everything though... lets check out the game play

I realized at first playing that you will always have computer players around. The only way to not have computer players in a race is to have 4 human players race. This is a major flaw, and its even worse because the computer players ae more out to get you than to win, and on top of that, the pathetic "homing chickens" never miss you on a shot. It is extremely easy to collect enough "green thingys" (I think they are called green rocks) to make weapons out of them. The creators of this game went to far in their creativity trying to make a humorous game and also have it fun and exciting. Nothing of the three was accomplished.

The game is way too difficult at times, and the AI is more than unballanced, but they have an extremely unfair advantage. The computer players never seem to run out of energy so they can dash everywhere, and of course maybe run you over so that they can get into the lead. Ontop of this, the computer players know the secret paths in ALL OF THE LEVELS. You will take days to figure them out, so the computer players have an extremely good advantage.

One last complaint, and my least complaint, is how that you can be in first place, and get hit by one of these stupid animals in the course, and get knocked back into last place. It is amazing how stupid people can be, and even those people who need to go to college for 10 years to learn perfect programming and math so they can be a computer/video game programmer, and still mess up a product, that may have even been anticipated for. I do not recommend this game, and everyone who gave this a good review is not a true gamer. You are all probably 12 years old, or are just not a gamer. Waste your money on another game. You will be extremely dissapointed if you are a gamer or above the age of twelve. DON'T GET THIS 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.

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

this game is cool

The Grapics on this game are okay. The tracks are a good distance. Their is very little you can do to mess up the others. But than i haven't found out what all the buttons do. Over all this game would be a good by.

Great Simple Game

This game is great! The graphics are not the best I've seen, but certainly better than anything on a PlayStation. If you're tired of the RPG's and strategy games and want something simple and fun, this is your game. It's great for two players as well.

All these reviews about how bad the AI is are people who cant beat the first level. The game goes fast, I guess they cant keep up.

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.

Ehhh...keep looking

A fun game, but sometimes the game play just isn't there, and it doesn't grab you. Also, too little ability to mess up the other guys. Buy Halo instead. ;)
