Gameplay
Gameplay
In Doritos Crash Course, the players have to get their Xbox 360 avatars through increasingly difficult obstacle courses before the time runs out. Each course has a various number of checkpoints scattered throughout. If the avatar falls off the course, the game will begin from the last passed checkpoint. The game is composed of three locations (United States, Europe, and Japan), each having five levels. Some of the obstacles include collapsing floors, swinging ropes, chains, and water balloons.
