Gameplay features revolutionary new systems like the Drift Indicator. Turn on the assists and feel like a pro, or turn them off and hone your drift skills. Focusing on the "next big thing" in underground street racing this video game utilizes Universal’s extensive sound library, an incredible context based camera code, a revolutionary context based rumble system that gives players the feeling of driving city streets at break neck speeds like no other. Immerse yourself in the world of the game. 10,000+ polygon model cars, cinematic camera angles straight from the movie, unique boss challenges, stunning visuals and an Advanced Rubber Band AI system. Tune your ride with a hundred licensed wheels, and over 500 body kits from real JDM companies. Tune your ride like never before from performance to appearance, and for the first time ever swap out your engine to truly push the limits of your vehicle. [Namco Bandai]… Expand

    The sense of power and weight, combined with awesome drift controls and the aforementioned speed, mean you won't have to wait until you can buy faster cars to enjoy the game as it's meant to be enjoyed.

    The Fast and The Furious is by no means a bad game, but in a genre already flooded with countless racing titles it doesn’t really stand out or do anything new.

    F&F is fun, popcorn entertainment, exactly what it intended to be.

    The Fast and the Furious will probably come off as unimpressive and forgettable - but if you've played Carbon as much as possible and you're still in need of your street racing fix then this will do you nicely for awhile.

    The PS2 is still clearly still capable of impressing in the graphics department as games like Okami and God of War 2 have proved, TFatF by comparison looks like it's from a different generation entirely, one where blurry low detail was the norm.

    An utterly forgettable racer devoid of charm or pizzazz. [May 2007, p.66]

    Given that fans of the movie have surely long-since moved on, there is simply no reason for this game to exist. [May 2007, p.120]

Similar to Need For Speed and Gran Turismo. It has the same extensive number of customizations just like from NFS Underground 2 and the number of cars in the game too.

Most of the cars has at least 4 - 5 bumpers minimum (not including the bodykits) Different types of cosmetics like Rim LEDs, Drift charms and neons. The car list is alright for what it is but the problem lies in the fundimentals of the game aka the physics and the handling. It's almost impossible to turn the car properly without the car starting to jump or hump the road. The car turns like it has a ton of assists on that can't cooperate with each other. Even with the driving aids off it still feels like there are some weird assists that makes the car handle on its own. I have no clue what they did to screw the handling up so badly considering they made street racing syndicate which handled fine. Very charming game but the handling is impossible to get used to.… Expand
