Domino Rally!!!
There is nothing cooler than a giant domino run. With the cool design, lots of colours and special effects. All the tension as the dominoes topple into one another and a slight mistake could mean disaster for the whole run. Mr. Domino tries to capture that feeling of tension, excitement and surprise in a great looking game for the PlayStation.
The player directly control Mr. Domino as he runs continuous laps around a course set in various themed locations. The goal is to lay down a trail of dominoes and lead them to fall on set action triggers located at various points along the track. The next lap round Mr. Domino must bump into the first domino to start up the domino run. When set up perfectly the dominoes fall on the action triggers that set off mostly comedic scenes revolving around the courses theme. These will then hit the next set of dominoes and the run continues. If the domino run continues then bonus points are awarded for how many action triggers are set off in a chain. If one of the dominoes fail to fall then Mr. Domino will make another lap of the track to try again.
Of course it is not as simple as it sounds. The track is littered with all kinds of obstacles that will make Mr. Domino trip and stumble thus breaking the trail of dominoes Even Mr. Domino's family seem to be out to stop him as they throw objects, electrocute and even use magic powers to stop the chain. This can get frustrating when a perfect run is ruined by missing one domino. A time limit is also on the player as Mr. Domino's stamina slowly runs out and if it reaches zero he will turn back in to a lifeless domino. There are collectibles on the track that will restore some stamina but they can only be used once so some strategy is needed. Some other track collectibles are a speed boost, a slow down and a restart button which will reset the track including any progress the player has made.

The graphics are very colourful and vibrant with the feel of a comic book. The level themes vary greatly and each of the actions triggered on the courses are very entertaining (and insane) giving the player a great reason to keep on playing to the end.With only 6 stages the game can be completed quickly but after completing the game the other members of the Domino clan become playable with each having their own characteristics posing new challenges for the player. Mr. Domino controls very well with the D-pad controlling movement left and right between tracks and up and down controlling |Mr. Domino's speed. Only one button is used to drop the dominoes making the game very simple and great for younger players.
Highly Insane!!!
