ThisisXbox: "To coincide with the release of the latest Fast & Furious movie – Fast & Furious 6, Activision has published a game developed by Firebrand titled Fast & Furious Showdown. The videogame tie-in aims to bridge the gap between the latest cinema release and the previous Fast & Furious 5 movie by showing cut-scenes and racing events to keep you up to speed. It’s shockingly awful both to play and to look at with the developers looking like they’ve delivered an alpha port of a last-gen game. I am surprised that Activision has even permitted the game to be published by attaching their name to one of the (if not THE worst of all time) racing games currently available on the Xbox 360."
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."
WGOTY contender.
Any game activision touches nowadays are ending up messy
i'm pretty sure the game isn't that bad even though i haven't played it cuz i played The Fast&the Furious and it was awesome!one of my favorite racing games alongside GT4,NFS MW,Midnight Club La.The customization and drifting was out of this world!plus it was open world
