Another week passes, and another movie tie-in game gets released. This week it’s The Lone Ranger game, and it’s from Disney, so it’s certainly something that grabbed our attention.
The Long Ranger game takes place in a world full of outlaws, and you’ll help the Lone Ranger out by taking out bad guys and completing simple quests. The game bills itself as a “3D Role Playing Adventure” and while they got the 3D part right, I would hesitate to call the game adventurous. The Lone Ranger game is energy/time based, and you’ll spend most of your time tapping to search for objects or shoot bad guys. There are duels, but they aren’t much fun and get repetitive quick. It’s also a ‘freemium’ game so be prepared to drop some dough if you run out of juice and want to keep playing.
The reviews for the new Lone Ranger movie have been less than kind, and the same can be said for the reviews of The Lone Ranger game. It’s looks good, but there’s not a lot of fun to be had unfortunately. Disney has put out some outstanding Android games, so I’m going to give them a pass on this one, and suggest you do the same as well as the Lone Ranger game is definitely a dud. If you’re in the mood to play a game on autopilot you can pick up Disney’s The Lone Ranger game for free on Google Play.
