The Fast and The Furious Review

Costas Stephanides ’s Review

Excellent, top quality game. A very enjoyable driving game, with good graphics and plenty of tracks based loosely on the movie. The game even boasts Vin Diesel as your mentor.

The game comprises a championship where you have to win prize money before you can unlock the next track. After each race, you can spend some of your money to upgrade various parts of your car and buy that all important nitro. The game also has a practice mode where you can practice on any level.

The track and cars are shown from above and controlling your car is pretty easy. You have to upgrade all aspects of the car. There??s no point having the best engine if the steering is too poor to respond. Also beware of the oil slicks and other hazards but don??t forget to drive over the free money. With a whopping twelve tracks and various weather conditions, the game will take a while to complete. The game has good graphics although the backgrounds for the tracks are very similar.

The game is very easy to play and even if you are not that good at driving games you should still be able to progress through the game albeit at a slow rate. Each track has several piles of money lying in your path, which regenerate after each lap. Even if you don??t come first and miss out on the top prize money as long as you keep collecting the free money you will slowly get enough dosh to enter the next race. You can also play older, easier tracks as many times as you like for free ?? another way to gradually increase your total cash.

However, if you finish way behind the last man, the police sometimes come after you and unfortunately you cannot avoid them and you will be arrested and fined.

Each race has three laps and the average time for a total race is about a couple of minutes. The game can be played through quite quickly. Highscores are kept for the fastest laps and fastest overall times for all the tracks.

I had great fun playing this game and I would recommend this game. Don??t forget to check back in a few months for our review of Too Fast Too Furious.
