Minion Rush for Windows Phone now available – Simply amazing!

Minion Rush is now available for Windows Phone. It was just today that I saw that. The minion Rush icon showed up on the Windows Phone store. I loved the Android version of the game. I was expecting a Windows Phone version but not this soon! Way to go Gameloft.

Difference with the Android Version

The Minion Rush for Windows Phone is very much different form its Android counterpart. Right from the starting up to the place where you end the game by either jumping off the track or hitting an obstacle, the way the mechanisms work is entirely different. The UI is also different. You get a darker shade in the color of tokens and it is very much easier to score. The levels are the same but there is no Minion Beach and no Mall this time. But well, it doesn’t matter. The future updates should bring that. The start up video comes in always. Be sure to either tap it away or you’ll be watching it again and again. There are three levels- Gru’s Lab, Residential Area (instead of Halloween Residential) and El Macho’s lair. You don’t have a separate Locations menu but they are built on to the start screen and are very easy to use rather than the Android version. All the options have changed places and now appear in the bottom of the screen. Shopping and costume selection are also a lot easier. The costumes include Golfer, Magician, Alarm (Bee-Do), Dad, Dancer, Ninja, Maid, Mom, FireFighter, Singer, Worker, Partier, Baby, Referee and the standardly equipped Classic outfit. Only the baby, the partier and the referee can be bought or equipped with Bananas.  The rest are to be bought with hard earned tokens. The costly being the Golfer and the cheapest being the Referee. The game is not merely a port but a version developed for WP. There is no Xbox branding and therefore, your achievements wont be stored online. No worries there.

Gameplay/ Graphics

The gameplay and the Graphics are absolutely stunning and at least match or are rather better than the graphics on the Android counterpart. The sensitivity is high and the game is very smooth. There are no lags in the game. The residential area is quite lively and is wonderful to play. The classic outfit doesn’t get so bored easily and is active. I haven’t tried El Macho’s Lair yet but it sure is to be splendid. Meena comes in more often and is sure to keep me occupied. The Drones come in faster and you have to act quick as well.

I will go continue my game and you can download yours from here.
