    It's a game only for real car culture lovers, not for "normal" racing games players. If you want a more complete experience, you should play NFS Underground 2, that is superior in many ways. Nevertherles, this game has a particular charm that makes it stand from other arcade racing games.

    Very good customization for it's time. 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

    É um jogo bem ok de corrida, bem mediano, é meio genérico, mas o fato de poder escolher seu rival e fazer as coisas na ordem que quiser é interessante, o que não me agrada nesse jogo é a física do drift, realmente muito difícil controlar o carro e na maioria das vezes você vai rodar com ele, as "Grip Battle" do jogo são muito ruins justamente pela questão do drift, pois parece que o rivalÉ um jogo bem ok de corrida, bem mediano, é meio genérico, mas o fato de poder escolher seu rival e fazer as coisas na ordem que quiser é interessante, o que não me agrada nesse jogo é a física do drift, realmente muito difícil controlar o carro e na maioria das vezes você vai rodar com ele, as "Grip Battle" do jogo são muito ruins justamente pela questão do drift, pois parece que o rival quase não freia pra fazer uma curva, enquanto você bate em tudo, a trilha sonora é incrível, não é um jogo ruim, mas com certeza não se destaca na categoria mas dá para se tirar uma diversão, sobre a questão de tunagem ela é tudo o que já vimos em outros jogos como NFS… Expand

    The strongest features it offers are the robust customization and nice car models. There are better "underground" racers out there with comparable features (many of which can now be had for half this game's $40 price tag), and if you're a fan of the movies, the movies are what you should watch.

    A fairly basic and accessible racing game is unfortunately marred by upgrades that aren't sufficiently explained. The setting is ripe for a sequel, however, and I'm hoping that it gets just a little more newbie-friendly. For my sake.

    I want to like The Fast and The Furious, because somewhere under all the excruciating load times and arcade setting menus(I have to load a menu to change my camera angle? Ugh!)lies a solid game. It's a real shame. [Nov. 2006, p.119]
