  • It's a great game for kids, providing a fun and cooperative experience without the pressure of losing.
  • Many parents report that their children love the game and find it easy to play, making it suitable for ages 3 to 10.
  • The gameplay is repetitive and lacks depth, leading to a quick sense of boredom for older players.
  • There are significant technical issues, including bugs that prevent saving progress and frustrating controls.
  • The game is primarily designed for young children, which may disappoint adult players looking for a more engaging experience.
  • story
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game creatively intertwines the narratives of classic Pixar films, allowing players to engage with beloved characters from "The Incredibles," "Toy Story," "Finding Nemo," and others in a new context. However, some players feel that the storytelling lacks depth and coherence, often feeling more like a collection of mini-games rather than a cohesive narrative experience. Additionally, the absence of original voice actors detracts from the immersion, impacting the overall connection to the story.

    • “Rush takes the stories of many classic Pixar films and brings them to life, making you and a friend a part of the story.”
    • “The stories of The Incredibles, Toy Story 1-3, Finding Nemo & Dory, Up, Ratatouille, and Cars 1-2 are all part of this game, featuring all the favorite characters.”
    • “Each level also has a rewards bar that unlocks art, extra goals within levels, the option to play as other characters, and new 'buddies' to help you with levels, allowing access to extra areas.”
    • “A minor thing for me is that most of the characters in the story sound different from their actual movies, which is because it would cost too much to hire the same actor, but it takes me away from the story, especially Violet in The Incredibles.”
    • “Story: every movie has a story, I guess, but it doesn't feel like one.”
    • “A lot of the achievements require you to play the side missions or get buddy characters to allow access to small areas, but in order to do so, you need to replay levels to get enough coins to unlock the side missions and buddy characters.”
  • graphics
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are generally praised for their colorful and vibrant style, effectively creating a cartoon-like atmosphere that appeals to both kids and adults. While many reviewers appreciate the charming visuals and animations, some note a lack of polish compared to other modern titles. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's appeal, despite some criticisms regarding detail and control issues.

    • “The comedic mishaps and quirky interactions with beloved Disney and Pixar characters will have you giggling like a kid, while the colorful and vibrant visuals make you feel like you've stepped into a living cartoon.”
    • “Awesome graphics, great sound/voices, and different types of gameplay make this a very good game. If you have kids, then this is a must-buy.”
    • “Graphics are awesome and I love all the different themes!”
    • “While the graphics are colorful and vibrant, they lack the polish and attention to detail found in other modern titles.”

  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is characterized by its appealing graphics and sound, making it suitable for kids, but it suffers from repetitiveness and simplicity, leading to a tedious experience. While it offers a variety of gameplay types and encourages replay through a progression system, many players find the mechanics shallow and the overall experience lacking in depth and excitement. Despite some enjoyable moments, the combination of frustrating controls and minimal content makes it hard to recommend beyond dedicated fans of the franchise.

    • “Awesome graphics, great sound/voices, and different types of gameplay make this a very good game. If you have kids, then this is a must-buy. I tested it with a keyboard and mouse as well as a gamepad (cheap 2.4GHz wireless rip-off Xbox 360 pad).”
    • “It's like having six games in one, a collectathon on the rails sort of experience. While it may feel copy-pasted for the most part, it encourages you to keep replaying each level and unlock gameplay elements through a points progression battle pass.”
    • “Gameplay is very good for kids, but it can become quite boring as you find yourself racing for three minutes without a clear reason.”
    • “One of the most glaring issues with *Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure* is its shallow gameplay.”
    • “Despite featuring characters and settings from iconic Pixar films, the gameplay mechanics feel simplistic and repetitive.”
    • “With shallow gameplay, underwhelming presentation, lack of content, and frustrating controls, it's hard to recommend this title to anyone other than the most die-hard Pixar enthusiasts.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization in this game has been criticized, particularly for not catering to adult Disney fans, who may find better options in other Disney titles, even those with questionable monetization practices like Dreamlight Valley or Speedstorm.

    • “The monetization in this game is fair and doesn't feel exploitative, allowing players to enjoy the experience without feeling pressured to spend money.”
    • “I appreciate that the game offers a variety of ways to earn in-game currency, making it accessible for players who prefer not to spend real money.”
    • “The optional purchases enhance the game without being necessary to progress, which is a refreshing approach to monetization.”
    • “If you're a Disney adult looking for a game that caters to your age group as much as it does to kids, steer clear of this one and check out other Disney games, even if they have questionable monetization methods like Dreamlight Valley or Speedstorm.”
    • “The monetization in this game feels exploitative, making it hard to enjoy without spending extra money.”
    • “I was disappointed by the aggressive monetization tactics that overshadowed the gameplay experience.”
  • replayability
