While Crash Course initially appears to be one of the simplest games on XBLA, the later levels are quite devilish and will produce some genuine nerd rage if you’re not careful. It’s more than just a simple case of charging across the screen. On top of that there are gaps to clear, swinging hammers to avoid, balls to jump over and new fastest times to go for.Ī sprint button allows you to reach maximum nippiness, but while this might seem like the obvious way to reach the goal as quickly as possible, run for too long and your Avatar will stumble or you’ll overshoot a platform with an overlong jump. Bouncy platforms propel them into the air, fans allow for levitation and travelators slow you down or speed you up. Your Avatar runs left to right, but along the way you can make them run faster, alongside ducking and jumping, while grabbing a rope will see them swing on it. There’s nothing overly complex about what you have to do, but when the obstacles come thick and fast it’s easy to mess up. Doritos Crash Course isn’t quite so extreme, but it lets you traverse its obstacle courses with your Avatar, while providing excellent multiplayer support and online leaderboards.

Doritos Crash Course is essentially a simple version of Total Wipeout’s final round, in which (usually overweight) people try to make it through a near-impossible series of obstacles to reach a finish line. For whatever reason – though probably the opportunity to watch inevitable epic fails by the contestants – if I happen to see it while channel hopping I’ll usually stick around to the end.



The BBC’s Total Wipeout is compulsive viewing.
