Customer Reviews

Not so Fast and Furious
I have come to expect more from EA games in the past and was let down by this one. From a great name in games and a great series of films I thought it was a sure hit but once I got it I was disapointed. The game play is slow and the tracks are very limited it seems very straight line stuff no real corners or room to flex a bit of skill. Graphically it is very reasonable, playability it becomes very boring very quick. If you want a good racing game and haven't yet tried it I would recommend the need for speed series as they are far superior to this mediocre and all round average racer.

My oh my...
Firstly, this game is NOT made by EA, so let's not taint them with this game.

I must admit, I was expecting more. Being a huge fan of the three films (although 2F2F was rather disappointing), and especially since Tokyo Drift was probably better, in my books, than the first film; I was straight onto pre-ordering it in anticipation.

Sadly, i was really disappointed. The level of customization on the cars is really impressive, with complete engine transplants being a unique upgrade to the game, as well as including some of the cars which, although big in drifting worlds, never see the light of day in bigger driving games/simulators.
However, the racing is very linear on the streets, and the drifting, however "realistic" is may be, is impossible to hold onto. You dont get the same satisfaction with this as you do from NFS:Carbon for example, when you slide round a corner inches from the wall. You simply plow backwards into the opposite wall.
Not fun at all

I wish it was better, but really you're better off buying a game like NFS:Carbon or even Gran Turismo for easier control.

Tokyo Drift-better than the films!
Im not sure which game the other reviewer played on but this racing game is awesome! even if you havent watched the films it is an excellent stand-alone racer, the cars look wicked and the graphics are crisp and rendered superbly. this game has bags of playability.
