It's pointless now to give it a review since you can't even buy it since 3 years almost. Time flies doesn't it? I only finally played it today wow it's already 5 year old game. The same wow it was for me that I thought once hey Vin Diesel had a game studio and made a game about Vin Diesel driving cars in cinematic crazy fashion in spain, Tigon studios made the game "Wheelman" not a new GTA, not a masterpiece by any means but it was a game I enjoyed it could be described as a good start for a new studio.
And sometimes when I thought about it it crossed my mind why they never followed up on that or made some deal to cross promote F&F franchise in good big budget big names fashion. Suddenly there is a game coming it's Tigon studios, F&F game and... be careful what you wish for as they say.
This game has Letty, Rom and Dom from big screen they kindly mention other characters on the way, in general correspond well with movies by reffering to them rather than being interactive version of them which i think is good choice in general. The game tells its' own story which splits screen time between big names and fictional characters fairly and the story is told in very like VERY cinematic way. They have it all every single absurd, the movie franchise ever brought it's there in some form we race the train in the middle of the desert, we jump from vehicle to vehicle not always being the same means of transport with velocity that would just blow any human away and kill them, the villain has absurd idea of destroiyng the world (which as usually is mostly USA) and absolutely brutal final sequence that disobeyes logical thinking, laws of physics, I mean you would have to see it this final is far more absurd than power of the family in Dom's head :p
Overall it's ridiculous but it's exactly like the movie franchise we can either point fingers and explain why this cannot be like that ooor we might sit have fun smile and enjoy our time with festival of dumb things right? Right except it's 4.4hour game playing blindly and making breaks for fridge trips for drinks, so one might say they probably did cinematic campaign but focus was on multiplayer stuff? Well it's dead so it's hard to say but judging by the screenshots etc multiplayer here was just recycling of sp campaign missions in pvp version which is not much cause we basically drive, shoot, rip off or "hack" something and that's it. There is a room for good car multiplayer but it's not really there, there is always room for good story game about cars even in this unrealistic climate of F&F but there is not much of a story either so sadly it's thumbs down.
Thumbs down for unfullfilled potential of game, franchise everything and probably definitive kill of attempts on making games about cars that are not scrapyard, car mechanic sims or simply racing games.
But if you own it anyway like i did I would say play campaign for laughing it's more like watching "the room" rather than anything else but I would say it's funny kind of absurd.
