I really liked the graphics. I think even more time was put into this one. It’s one of those games that need to be seen to be appreciated. From the brick road, to the bridges, to the — sorry to spoil the game here — hot air balloon, everything looked slick. The animations looked great, and worked with the music and overall gameplay. There was in-app purchasing, and coin collection worked well.

- 8.0The subtlety of Canabalt or the overflowing awesomeness of Runner2 surpass Oz’s 3D graphics, even if those 3D graphics are very good for a game on a phone. Temple Run: Oz is just as good as Temple Run 2, but Temple Run 2 is free. Even if this is your first sprint with the series, you may as well get the entry you don’t have to pay for.
- 9.0Temple Run: Oz isn't a revolutionary entry in the gaming series, but it is the most polished Temple Run experience to date. The artwork, the music, the sprinkling of new gameplay mechanics, and the dynamic environments of this new adventure are likely to cast a spell over Imangi's audience all over again. Let's hope the film can do the same for cinema lovers, eh?
- But Temple Run 2 is a free download, while Temple Run: Oz costs a buck. A dollar isn’t much, but when you can get nearly the same experience for free in Temple Run 2, why bother downloading the movie tie-in? Our advice is to play Temple Run 2 first. If you love it and want to play in the world of Oz, grab up Temple Run: Oz. Just don’t expect to find much new.
- 7.0It all looks nice but it’s just too confusing. In fact, that describes everything in this game: it just all seems obfuscating, rather than edifying or even just entertaining. Even the Oz license just feels generic, lacking much distinction beyond the yellow brick road. It appears to have been developed outside of Imangi proper. ...I suppose for those who are already quite sick of Temple Run 2, this may represent a decent change of pace, but it’s still just too close to the original, both temporally and conceptually, to be worth a significant look.
- 4.0Temple Run: Oz is sloppy, cynical, tired, and dull. Unless you are so enamoured by sprinting into the screen very fast that you're willing to put up with lazy design, adverts, and aggressive monetisation, run the other way. Disney continues the trend of crap movie games with this poorly made and cynically produced retread of a game we're all very sick of.
