Glacier928: "When I heard Firebrand Games was behind this game, I was actually somewhat excited. I mean, Trackmania: Build to Race for the Wii and DS was a very under-appreciated game that introduced me to what the studio is capable of. Unfortunately, I was severely letdown with a game that had me shaking my head at how absurdly unpolished it was. Fast & Furious: Showdown is a horrid game that looks so outdated and is near unacceptable for games this far into the console generation. It reeks of low budget from the moment you’re introduced to the title screen and main menu, all the way through to the credits (if you even last that long with it). If you do plan on playing this, it’s to mainly see how to make the Fast & Furious franchise as dull as possible. Fast & Furious: Showdown? More like “Slow & Infuriating: Boretown”."
With the ninth movie entry in the long-running Fast Saga on everyone's mind (and starring my man Vin Diesel, among others), it's a good time to revisit the history of Fast & Furious video games.
I'm looking at the tags for this article and almost wanna report it for tag spam haha
I really wish they would release a DECENT Fast and the Furious game for consoles. It seems like a natural fit and instant brand awareness. The latest one looks like a train wreck. With all of the F and F money, you'd think they would invest a little of it into a real game.
I beat the first game in 2 nights and it was fun. I got stoned as all hell though. Just completely fried. I'm sure it wasn't actually good but I had fun and that's what matters!
I really wish Driver 1-3 could get remaster/reboot… those games kick the shit out of this fast and furious trash
Honestly that one was probably my least favorite out of them all.
Edit* actually I just remembered parallel lines… lol
Not a one was good. I rather they make Underground 3 since NFS Underground was based off of Fast and the Furious 1
Fast and the Furious Crossroads was Crap.
Activision has pulled five games from digital storefronts, including a pair of Spider-Man games, a pair of TMNT games, and a Fast & Furious game.
Since it's not just Spider-man, it may not be a simple case of franchise rights moving to another publisher. Fast and the Furious and TMNT aren't owned by Marvel/ Disney.
Activision may simply be trying to push away from licensed franchise products
also the 2 worst ninja turtles games ever made, the recent nickelodeon games, atleast those had some of the charm of the tv series and old style tmnt games.
Spider man taking down because of the new one. These taken down because they are utter garbage.
Spider-man isn't being taken down because of the new one coming up. It's being taken down because just like TMNT and Fast & Furious, they are no longer willing to pay the digital licenses on most of their franchise products.
Neil writes "After a disappointing Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale last time round, this week's bargains are now in place. Whilst there aren't a huge amount of discounts for either Xbox One or Xbox 360 owners to get excited about, those looking for a sports title will be more than happy. Whether you should be looking for a sports title right now, when the newer versions will soon be dropping though is completely up to you."
Wow, this game sounds brilliantly awful, may have to get it when its <£5.
