For those not in the know Doritos Crash Course was added as a Backward-Compatible title to The One today! This was an unexpected but very pleasant surprise for me, as I loved the hell out of this this game (and am loving it now again on my One, runs great BTW!). To the unfamiliar, Doritos Crash Course is a game where you (or more specifically, your avatar) have to go from the starting line to the finish line by making a mad dash for it. But watch out, there are traps, obstacles, and conveyer belts which will bonk, splat, and splash you out of the way. Part Japanese game show, part Wipeout, all fun, Doritos Crash Course got so popular that it even got a (now decommissioned) sequel and a 2 dollar DLC pack.

BTW, did I mention it's free?

If you have the means of playing it and don't have a copy yet, you're doing yourself a disservice. it is a lot of fun and as far as sponsored-product console games go, possibly the best (Though Yo Noid is pretty cool too).

Anyone else love this game? Any other promotion-based software that's actually great and worth playing?

As for me, I am sad that I never got a chance to play Crash Course 2, but that game was more about the multiplayer than time-attack.
 
I remember getting this and the sequel on my 360. Fun times. The sequel was kinda disappointing cause it was kinda microtransactiony, but the first one was just great.
 
I think I've played through this game like, 6+ times with friends, and while they all hate it, no one wants to give up on trying to beat me at it. >.>
 
Found out the US doesn't have Chilli Heatwave, the greatest of all Dorito flavours. Do you even know how to Dorito, bro?
 
Sneak King was my jam.

And ya was nice seeing Crash Course pop up today...for some reason I had thought it was delisted so happy to see it here
 
Now that I have Gold, I've played online. I love that the other players are seen as helicopter cutouts. It's hilarious.
 
Crash Course was way better than it really had any right to be.

That's not to say it was all that good, but it had no business being anything other than terrible, and it far exceeded that mark.
 
I remember the Burger King games being fascinating because they somehow ran on both the Xbox 360 and original Xbox hardware as well.

I think it's great, and something I would have easily paid for, like 10 bucks, if it had an assload of levels.

Weren't both of the Doritos games (Dash, CC) the result of a contest where indie/hobbyist types submitted games to them? It's not hard to believe a few okay games were submitted.
 
Yeah be glad you never played Crash Course 2. It was a microtransaction-filled messed that made you connect to servers that rarely worked and ended up getting shut down 2 or 3 months after the game came out. The core gameplay was good and I liked the maps but the game was designed around you pumping money into it.

The first Crash Course is a classic though, redownloaded and probably going to play with some friends tonight.

It's been a while, but yeah, that sounds right. I had forgotten about that part, to be honest.

It explains why the game seemed like it had some heart.
 
Yaris.

I played it.

Never thought a free game would make me feel so many emotions. Confusion, anger, sadness, disappointment. Thanks Toyota!

Have you played the PSX game, which holds up incredibly well? It's an isometric platformer.

Here's a hilarious excerpt from the GameSpot review, which gave the game a 5.8:

Spot Goes to Hollywood won't appeal to anyone but hard-core gaming junkies who value gameplay over graphics. Ultimately, it's not worth a purchase, though it's probably worth a rental.

Sounds terrible, right? ;)

Funnily enough, the graphics hold up far better than most PSX games:

You can see the game got a whole range of review scores:

Here's HG101's article on the game:

http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/spot/spot2.htm

This wonderful gem of a game is a 3D isometric platformer. The controls take a bit getting used to, but once you get the hang of them, they work wonderfully. The game is not easy. There are some Hollywood Stars (think Star Coins in Mario) and Secret Exits we still haven't been able to find. It's packed with content and a true hidden gem. I can't recommend it strongly enough. I just hope one day we can 100% it!

The PSX and Saturn versions, per the HG101 article, are virtually identical; the Genesis version is quite different as I understand it.
 
What was that game that looked like some generic fantasy adventure game, but was secretly about Skittles? Because that's my vote for the best licensed game.
