Download Game Fast and Furious Showdown ~ INDEX OF GAMES

This Fast and Furious title is a tie-in game, which takes players through select scenes of the movies. The amazing safe sequence from the fast five flick is in the game, but now you can do it in local coop. Well, that’s really the only plus about this game. Every mission across all modes can be played in split screen. We wish vehicular based games would inherit this feature more often. No online play though, but with this title it doesn’t really matter. This game was clearly rushed to coincide with the release of fast 6. Limited car customization options, and a soundtrack that is uber generic. Lyrics are repetitive, annoying, just bad. Plain and bland is the phrases to best describe this racing/action hybrid. The cars are licensed, so there’s a little bit of good news.

The controls are really clunky. Regardless of the vehicle, certain collisions that would normally have little effect on a vehicle, completely stops your ride. If it doesn’t do that, it will spin the whip around in such a way, that you might as well restart the race. That happened to me plenty of times driving the semi trucks. Making simple turns shouldn’t feel like a chore, lets not even get into drifting. Vehicle handling all around is just horrendous. On top of it the enemy AI is foolish. Police are idiotic, making it easy to get them out of the picture. When crushing cars against a wall, the camera slows down and rotates like burnout. That’s kind of cool, but I could get the same experience from actually playing Burnout. Criterion should make a Fast and Furious game, or Eutechnyx could come back to handle development of this series
