In Temple Run the player takes on the role of an explorer name Guy Dangerous. He took the precious idol away from the temple and as a consequence he's relentlessly pursued by a demonic and shadowy group of monkeys. The player must guide him out of the temple to escape from the monkeys.

The player has to run as far as possible from it. The game only ends when the player dies. While running the player can collect coins, which award additional points and can be used to buy items and unlock new characters from the in-game store. [source:mobygames]

In Temple Run 2 (TR2), the landscape is different: you run in the jungle and you can choose a runner betwween famous characters. At the very beginning of the game, you will notice that your character is being chased by one big gorilla like creature instead of the 3 small apes of TR1.
Also, your character will travel down a zipline within the first one minute or so, which is a new addition. You can tilt your character to right and left for getting in line of the coins, but that's all you can do during the zipline session.
There are new obstacles like rivers and rolling birbwires which can be jumped.
You will also come across stones and tree trunks where you are supposed to slide.
There are some new powerups, and you can revive at any point of time by using gems. You also get gems during gameplay.
There is also some underground levels where you have to ride a cart. These levels bring a welcome change in pace, but it might be a bit tricky. Bumping in to intersections is very common, and as these sections are very fast paced, keeping your eyes open and concentrating on the road is more important than collecting gold.
