Shane Smith at GameCloud writes: "Ultimately, Runner3 is a step back from its predecessor despite introducing some fresh ideas. It’s nowhere near as playable due to the increase in difficulty caused by its needlessly long levels and unpredictable obstacles. I wanted to like the game, but more often than not I found my enjoyment was being interjected by frustrating and repetitive moments, and this eventually hindered my appreciation for its unique style and presentation. There’s still a good foundation underneath all its problems, and some players might not be as bothered by the level design as I was. However, I’d personally recommend picking up Runner2 instead. It’s a much better game."

CommanderVideo and his crew are back for another outing in the Runner series. This goes off the deep end of absurd with the most daunting challenges yet.
