Could someone tell me what the allure for these points are? I still don't understand it.

It pretty much tells you that it's just an excuse to boost your gamerscore.

In doing that, it succeeds. In everything else it just slithers around the "average" mark. I mean it's fun, and I think I'd genuinely like it if it had online compatability. But as it stands its just a stupid little weekend project that gives you 10 minutes of fun the first time you play it, and no reason to play it ever again.

While it's been a while since it was this obvious, this isn't the first time a game has been made specificly to advertise a product. Back in the SNES days, 7UP had a game staring their advertising mascot Cool Spot made. There were also games made for Dominos Pizza (when they had that weird claymation guy the 'Noid), McDonalds etc. Also a couple of years ago, Burger King had those awful 360 games made "staring" their weird plastic faced 'The King' mascot.

So it's nothing new. I'm glad to see they made the game free at least. I haven't played it yet but I will. I entered three ideas in that Doritos contest and didn't even make it to the finals. Oh well, it was fun coming up with the ideas, making game art for them and seeing them posted on the contest website.

I heard Yaris was an awful game knocked up as an excuse to get some advertising by Toyota. I never played it myself, that's just what I'm told.

But anyway, I thought DOD was a good laugh for a little bit, and also an easy way to get some gamerpoints, but it was fun for 15 minutes, and when you have a friend it gets a little more play time. Not much replay value, but because it was free I'm not too bothered :p

I enjoyed it. It was a fun little fifteen minutes of destroying buildings and eating doritos trucks, and then fleeing Tyrannosaurus Rex's and delivering doritos. Never mind the funny little snippets between levels. If more games like this pop up I won't mind, as A) they're fun, and B) they're free, so it' not like you're paying to have advertisements thrown into your face, so it's all good.

Hey, a free game, it wins in my books. It wasn't even half bad. I enjoyed the T-Rex campaign and how they kept adding more cybernetic parts to it, gave me a good chuckle. I got all 200, played the multiplayer game by just plugging in another controller and that was it. Once again, can't complain about something that was free...and fun!

Edit: The same night I downloaded this, I also downloaded Aegis Wing which is pretty fun as well. Two free games in one night, free gamerpoints for everyone, whats not to love!?
