Fast & Furious: Showdown (360/PS3)

[RaychelSnr]

The Fast & Furious movies are extremely successful, with over-the-top action surrounding them all. So it only makes sense to release a game to coincide with one of the movies. It’s just a real shame Activision chose Fast & Furious Showdown to try to show off the intensity of the Fast franchise.

None of the actors from the movie franchise lend their voices to the game

Incorrect. IGN had this wrong too. Luke Evans and Gina Carano do. I checked the credits.
Still 2 is a bit generous. I found the AI can't drive or shoot. A couple of the levels seemed near impossible without co-op. There was also that quarry level near the end where the AI driver tried to go back up the quarry but attempted to do so by diriving directly up the side of the hill and getting stuck. After getting them unstuck myself and switching back to shooting they did the exact same thing again.

One of the really big issues is a movie spoiler so I can see why it wasn't included but I'll point it out here...

Spoiler

Letty doesn't seem to mind killing all those people in the game but in the movie it's what puts her off being on Shaw's side.

I checked the credits as well and did not see their names, so I must have overlooked it. Still, those are not the two actors you want to see in a game based off of the movies.

And I found the A.I. way better at shooting than driving, but they were not exceptional at either task.

Lowest game score on OS?

[goh]

I checked again. Han and Leo have their real actors too. I didn't even remember who Leo was.



Though sure you'd want Vin Diesel (Dom isn't even in the game) and Paul Walker. I assume they saw it and wanted nothing to do with it. Not like Vin Diesel doesn't like video games.

It's tied for lowest score here with 10 other games.
