    Showdown may have slick cars, death-defying moments, and corny dialogue like the films, but it lacks the punch and precision that’s made the top Fast & Furious films so darn fun.

    Fast & Furious: Showdown is one of the worst games we've seen so far this year. It’s technically poor, boring and doesn’t have that Fast & Furious flavor you could be looking for. And it doesn’t come at a budget price either.

    Fast & Furious: Showdown is a nice example of how NOT to make a game.

    Awful driving physics, weak shooting, short, buggy missions, ugly tracks, and badly impersonated voice acting make Fast & Furious: Showdown the epitome of an insultingly terrible movie tie-in game.

    One of the worst games we'ever played, from every side you watch it. There's really nothing to save here.

    One of the worst videogames in recent years. Bad as a driving game, worse as a shooter. A short game, boring and awful OST.

    Those with even a shred of self-respect should head to a seedy truck stop, bowling alley or other similar establishment and use the forty dollars this retails for to instead play the vastly superior The Fast and the Furious arcade game.

    Put the pedal to the metal and drive away as far as possible from this atrocity. [CD-Action 08/2013, p.82]

    Cynically awful movie tie-in that is not just a terrible racing game but squanders the potential of it source material in almost criminal fashion.

    Save yourself some money and please do not support this terrible game.

    The game modes are ridiculously boring, the game will fail you without reason and the graphics are hideous and out dated. For the price this is definitely not worth it, maybe $10 on xbox arcade is justifiable.
    The only reason I am giving the game a 3 is that I love the idea of a coop campaign, although my partner and I could not enjoy it.    … Full Review »
