It’s a lot like temple run, but you’re chased by a bear instead of the bird things. I am a huge fan of the show and I can live it in-game!! It’s really cool to get new skins for bear. Anyway I love playing this and I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Bear *2020-05-29, version 1.5* So funny ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2020-05-19, version 1.5* I’ve been a Bear Grylls fan since I can remember. I am inspired by his positivity and assurance. His tactics are encouraging. This game allows me to feel like I’m there with him, and am doing everything he does. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Short writing *2020-04-27, version 1.5* I love this game!!!!! ### 5/5 — Bear Grylls review *2020-04-06, version 1.5* I really like survival run and how it has different environments, but I think it would be even better with more creativity like obstacle courses. ### 5/5 — Sebas *2019-08-30, version 1.5* THIS IS THE BEST GAME I’VE EVER PLAYED IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!!!!!! THIS IS JUST AMAZING!!!!! I LIKE YOU, NO HOMO 8==D ### 5/5 — Great *2018-11-23, version 1.5* One word, phenomenal! This game has captivated my imagination and free time for the past two hours. Like I need to stop but I can’t... Anyways when I see Bear Grylls running down the path being chased by a bear, I am just filled with joy. The adventure side of my heart just kicks into high gear and I feel that I am right there with him. Both of us side by side as we do the impossible!! At times I’ve even found myself wondering outside while playing this game to feel more involved(just like Bear). I mean to be real there is no way that I would be able to keep up with Bear, as he sprints hundreds of meters without even slowing his pace. The man is my hero and no one will ever tell me otherwise. Especially not my brother and sister. They are always looking down on me for watching Bear. They are always saying stuff like”his show is fake!” And “the cameramen give him food”. I hate those stupid dipwads, I know you are real Bear and this game proves it. They will see one day, they all will see. ### 5/5 — Very nostalgic! *2018-11-20, version 1.5* I absolutely loved this game when I was little and had my tablet, but it stopped working so I couldn’t play this game anymore, it was very sad but now I have this IOS phone, now I don’t have to be sad anymore, This game seriously brings me back! ### 5/5 — Love this game *2017-08-21, version 1.5* I love this game as much as the tv show ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-08-11, version 1.5* I love this game it's awesome get this app ### 4/5 — Great game, but..... *2014-10-22, version 1.4* I have this game on my phone and I love it. I like how you can get back into the game by watching a video and I also how you can play with other players around the world and win prizes. But, the problem with the game is that after you watch the video to get back into the game, you can lose the sound like me. Another down side to the game is that you have to pay cash in order to play the Rib Ride Coin Grab instead of coins and grubs. A problem with online tournament is that you can earn bragging right, and to me, that is cyberbullying and it can really hurt someone's feelings. How would you feel if someone was doing that to you? Hacking is another part of the online tournament. I know that kids and even adults have been told at some point of there lives that never talk to strangers any where including on any electronic device, but how many people actually use that in everyday lives? Probably 25% of us. You may not know it but a someone could stealing $1,000 and you won't even know it. My point is that F48 Games should put something to stop the hacking or do something. I speak from experience. Overall I think it is great game to play. It is fun and exiting to play for all ages. ### 5/5 — Way Better Than Expected! *2014-09-11, version 1.4* Not only is this game immense fun, with lots of different obstacles and locations, but you can purchase different boosters for not than many coins. Also, "grubs" are not rare occurrences, like some other games where it takes you a year to save up 10, or purchase a small amount for $1.99-$4.99. I would recommend this game to any endless runner fan. I'm a huge Temple Run addict, and not many games have lived up to it fun wise, or how easy it is to upgrade/earn things, but this game comes in very high on my list. Out of 10, I'd say entertainment is 10, and the ease of upgrading or purchasing is an 7.5-8. This game by far beat my expectations, and will be played often. ### 5/5 — Fail *2014-09-04, version 1.4* Better than temple run as a single player game, BUT, I was playing for real money, had all upgrades after years of playing, and was always in first or second of the tournaments for REAL F'NG MONEY! All of a sudden the game wouldn't let me log into the multiplayer. It would just crash. After a couple days of trying, I had to delete it and redownload. Now, I have my money still, but all my upgrades are gone that took years to get. FU! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please read *2018-02-19, version 1.5* So I am really into survival games but this one is different because it's basically a run off of temple run witch is way better more updated and way more better graphocs. I was a little disappointed because I thought this is a survival game but really it wast what type I was looking for. I will say that's a fun game but not as good as temple run but still pretty good ### 1/5 — Death Run *2012-06-16, version 1.0.1* Grizzley Bears can hit a 40+ mph.. If you run, you die like a rag doll given to a pitbull. As someone who has had to deal with REAL wilderness survival, been stalked by bears & mountain lions, a single gun shot over their head is the most effective deterrent next to bear mace. Beryl is not very good at his job & has the worst survival show out of all of these dudes. Watch "Duel Survival" or something instead. Without his back-up crew he would have died 1st episode. This game is more fake than the show. Get temple run instead. If you run from irl bears or big cats they will simply have more fun while they kill you. They also don't get stuck on walls from lazy physics. 0 stars, unrealistic & stupid. If you wanted a solid premise, don't base a fantasy platformer on a reality show. Biggest Loser Temple Run, Go! Noobs. ### 1/5 — Ladies and Gentlemen *2012-06-11, version 1.0* Through everyday life, we occasionally face obstacles or challenges that block our way. Some people do not have the decency to overcome the obstacle by themselves so, they resort to more unethical ways. This game is an example of one of those horrible moments. It is possible that the creators of this game have no imagination of their own or they needed some popularity for their company. But that does not mean you should be allowed to copy the ideas of the great game Temple Run. This game is an atrocity to all other games and plants t ideas into the younger generation that plagiarizing and copying is allowed and accepted on the professional level. This app must be destroyed and wiped out off the face of the Earth. I feel sorry if Bear Grylls had anything to do with the production of this app because he is seen as an idol to some, and his actions in the production of this game will only convince the younger generation even more that plagiarizing is accepted. It is up to the players and customers of the App Store make the right choice. I hope you make the right choice for the sake of future generations. God bless. Sincerely, Abraham the Savior ### 2/5 — All you do is run *2019-01-01, version 1.5* It would be nice to do something more than just run. Make fire? Climb? ### 3/5 — Fun *2019-07-06, version 1.5* Fun ### 3/5 — Okkkk *2017-11-20, version 1.5* This game is fun, I know it's a direct rip off of temple run, but I honestly like it better, more obstacles, my favorite is the skydive. The only thing is, after jumping huge chasms, and skydiving off four cliffs, the bear still manages to be right behind you, like does the bear jump off after you and conveniently land on a trampoline at the bottom or something??? ### 3/5 — Glitches... *2012-06-21, version 1.0.1* Whoever said the swipe response is perfect is an idiot -_- The jump response is also too slow, died twice because it wouldnt jump... Yes, this is a copy of temple run, and there probably will be legal actions. Enjoy while and if you can. Imangi studios might consider adding new environments, upgrades, etc. after all the positive feedback on survival run. Just hope for the best. Imangi's creativity has increased slightly after the partnership with disney to produce the brave version. I myself have not downloaded it, but its an example of Imangi's growth. Lwts see how this plays out. ### 3/5 — Fun but needs work *2012-06-20, version 1.0.1* This is a lot like Temple Run, but with more bells and whistles. A few things need work. First off it needs to be more responsive, big delay between swipe action and when Bear responds. Also, they should get rid of the 'feature' where the bear attacks you if you tap the screen. And also, there's no way to report bugs in the application or the developer's website. I ran off the map, but have to way to report the bug! But other than that, tons of fun. ### 4/5 — Love the show but the game... *2019-04-20, version 1.5* This game is basically a remix of Temple run. The show is my all time favorite show and I love Bear Grylls the game is fun but I would rather have it a little different. But it is such a good game with a few changes needed. ### 4/5 — Update *2018-10-14, version 1.5* Please keep updateing!! At least graphics! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — peak of all gaming *2023-01-12, version 1.5* not flaws at all ### 5/5 — I wanna see this game get even BIGGER & better than ever! *2022-12-04, version 1.5* This one is truly addictive & lots of fun!add more maps & customization options! ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2022-03-28, version 1.5* Best game ever be cause it had bear grylls in it he is my favorite adventuer ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2021-09-15, version 1.5* Best game I love you all ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2021-07-28, version 1.5* It’s a little bit glitchy but me and my sister every single day when we were little we love it or I shouldn’t say glitchy it just if you swipe it will go away by a little bit before registering but still very good game ### 5/5 — Very good *2021-04-24, version 1.5* It is entertaining ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-03-04, version 1.5* I have been playing this for a while and it is really cool!
