Stylish Sprint Review- Could Have Ended With More Style
Feb 27
Having star-studded reviews for a new game is a pretty common sight. However, the true 1337 test is whether these games are able to stay in the spotlight for long? Players may be influenced to give new games a shot because of its perceived novelty or due to being emotionally influenced by hot catch phrases and witty tag lines littering all over those poetically written game reviews.
This review wasn’t at all random. The team at Gameographics had one game which was sitting in our devices for ages. We no longer launch it as often, but it was simply too good to toss it away.
Stylish Sprint – The charm, the loyal jester that entertained us during our train rides, poop time and while waiting for our dates who chose to turn up 20 minutes late.
If you are familiar with Prison Breakout, and more importantly, obsessed with this sort of genre, you will find yourself loving Stylish Sprint like how fat kids love cakes. This 2.5 dimension game has all the secret sauces that should have made it a mega hit.
Players control dexterous silhouettes to an endless course. Character can either jump, or execute deathblows to crumble nasty obstacles that is hindering your race to the ultimate bragging rights. There are 2 objectives in this game:
1) Run for life (if possible)
2) Collect coins a long the way
Of course apart from well-distributed boosters that empower players to fly, sprint or even attract coins like a black hole. The intelligent twist to this game is that players are not recommended to collect everything they see. Amidst the adrenaline pumping sprinting, players have to be committed to color of the stars they have collected. Stars behave has points multiplier. Hence, it is greater to have 10 yellow stars than 3 blue stars, 4 red stars, and 5 yellow stars.
Despite its cool looking characters, Stylish Sprint has injected some slap stick humor within. Players get to purchase silly looking avatar add-ons which not only make your character run with style, but also with additional stats. The most brilliant aspect in this shop is the ability to unlock 2 more secret characters; one of it is a chunky fat runner, and the other, a sexy silhouette with Tomb Raider physique.
Do not expect Activision quality graphics though. Stylish Sprint, as cool as the name is, offers nothing more than functional graphics. However, having a darting ninja inappropriately placed in a gleeful garden does wonders in helping players stay focus on their hero. Fluke or not, it was an excellent decision to not conform to visual fluffs.
Verdict
No offense to Super Mario fans, but as far as stamina goes, Stylish Sprint is light years ahead. A simple yet narcotic-laden game which hooks players for possibly and endless period of time. It is quite a waste that this gem got drowned among the sea of games. Lets hope that this review marks the start of its revival!
Graphics – 2/5
Sound – 3/5
Gameplay – 5/5
Playability – 5/5
Originality – 3/5
Overall – 3.5/5

How could anybody possibly miss this?!
If they have the multiplayer mode like Sonic the Hedgehog, this game can actually get really viral. Furthermore, they have a series of stages and a couple more characters to start off with. Ain’t that shabby after all.
Fat man sprinting and jumping. Come on, as a super mario fan since 4, no way am I going to give this game any support
I think the issue with such game is that the lack of storyline doesn’t give players any form of continuity. Yes, you can get boosters and all, but its still the same level over and over again.
Luckily that are different stages though, but how much difference?
Will get my hands on it anyway. Doesn’t seem too crappy
. But I highly doubt that I will be addictive.
Great review!!
I still have the game in my device, for months lol. Although I only play it once in a while. I, personally, prefer this than Temple Run (no offense to Temple Run’s fans). This game has a lot of potential, look forward to the updates of this game
Sasuke.
Fat man in a panda suit. Can’t go wrong with that.
Isn’t this, this?

I demand the 1% to buy this game over and RE-MARKET it!
True, that this game is lacking in graphics, even the audio isn’t too impressive. But it is just addictive to keep tapping on the jump and action button. My thumbs are having spasm right now.
Hmm.. Never heard of this game. Decided to give it a try after read the fantastuc review and also the game trailer. WIll let you guys if the game really that good
OMG its really good. Must give it a try guys. If you think this ain’t that good, give me your bank account number, I give you money!!
Wouldn’t hurt trying ya?
I mean, much as this entry talks about reviews singing praises, I think this game is pretty well-complimented as well.
Now I am confused. OH COME ON, TAKE A STAND!
