Swiping up performs a jump and down a slide. By tilting the device (mobile platforms) or swiping left or right Dave can be moved between lanes as he runs automatically and dodges obstacles. The player controls Dave through different levels with gameplay typical for the genre. I have yet to see "Megamind" and plan on doing so soon, so I'll update this review to reflect which of the two films I preferred.Despicable Me: Minion Rush is an auto-run platformer starring the minion characters from the 2010 animated comedy film Despicable Me. A pleasant treat that won't change your life.but who cares if it's so entertaining?! By the way, the plot for this film sure looks a lot like "Megamind" that was released just a few weeks later. I loved the characters and thought the French animators did a terrific job-with artistry that stacks up very well against the older and more established CGI studios, Pixar and Dreamworks.

Overall, this is a wonderful 3-D movie because parents can enjoy it. They had a good balance between cute, sassy and endearing. Heck, a couple months before the film was released, I was at Universal Studios in Florida and just HAD to have my picture taken with one of these characters as it roamed the park-it was just so freaking cute! And, I even liked the adorable little orphans-something I usually hate in films.

Unless you are Genghis Khan, you WILL find the countless little yellow minions to be completely adorable and funny-a real high point for the film. Why? Because it did something that many family movies forget-it was fun!! And, on top of that, it was super-cute-but not in a cloying manner. But despite being a formulaic film where the big curmudgeon has his heart melted by some adorable orphans, I still had a wonderful time watching the movie.

Heck, just by watching the preview for the film a few months back, I knew exactly where the film would go. I should also point out that I knew exactly where this film was going long before it got there-and I am sure most adult viewers and kids probably felt the same way. I am not sure that this impacted my viewing experience very much as most 3-D films I have seen really didn't benefit much from this technology-the most notable exception being "How To Train Your Dragon"-a film that fully utilized 3-D and was amazing to see in all its glory. I should note that I did NOT see this film in 3-D but at a non-3-D equipped theater.
