Fast & Furious 6 The Game on Samsung Galaxy S4 Review game that forgets the fun

Hi everyone. Here we are with Fast & Furious 6 The Game. Essentially there's a new movie coming out for Fast and Furious they're on the sixth movie can you actually believe that? And this time they've decided to make a game. Unfortunately whilst you might think to yourself they were going to produce a really kick *** racing game, with everything fast and furious instead what they've done is produced a quick time game is the best way I can kind of describe it. It's basically cars on rails and at certain points during the gameplay you will have to do an action in order to not screw up. It's ok, the graphics are ok as you're going to see but the gameplay does feel a little bit limited. A free to play title, in-app purchases but, you know, I'm not sure this is going to keep people's interest for very long. So to start with there's a countdown and we have to hit the launch button at just the right time to get our perfect boost then we have to put our finger down here and we have to shift at the right moment. This will be familiar for anyone who's ever done any kind of racing games. And then I have to go into drift mode. So when I go across here I have to hit the drift button and perform drift. But this car is not under my control as such, all I'm doing is triggering actions at the right moment, quick time events effectively. Get it right and you'll gain bonus points and speed, screw it up and I'm afraid you will lose. Oops! Like that. Ooh, I think I just beat him! Just just, just beat him. So that is in essence what Fast & Furious 6 is all about. As a game, there's not a lot here to excite people. The graphics look great and the gameplay is reasonable for what it's offering but it just feels slightly limited. Let's have a look at a drag challenge which is very much just a case of shift shift shift, hit at the right moment. Very limited as you might imagine but, you know, that's a great game here. It's just a shame that they kind of took the easy way out I think more than anything else instead of giving us a real fast and furious game, they've given us some sort of weird set of touch events instead which is just a real pity I think. Obviously I think time constraints may have played a part here there's only so many hours in a day I suppose that you can produce games but even so I would much rather have seen a full on racing title worthy of the name Fast & Furious than this strange kind of quicktime event, driven thing. I certainly hope we don't see many more racing games come out like this because it kind of isn't very racing, which is a shame but it's free to play. If you're looking for something to do this weekend and you're a bit bored, check it out, you never know, you might find something more here than I found but for my mind it's just quick time events in a car racing formula. That's about it.
