Well this is the best Fast & Furious game on PC that i am aware of. Its better than showdown (which i missed on pc but played on PS3, oh dear) and miles ahead of Crossroads. Why? well it takes the premise of the Kids show and keeps it heart but knows we are all here for the cars, racing and gadgets.

The premise is the villain from season one has recruited teh villains from the other series and some old crew to help win the ultimate car. So the Spy Racers enterthe tournament to stop him. Simple plot. If you know the series you know it spans alot of areas so we get locations inspired from them. Sadly no Volcano or underwater levels but hey we do get Mexico, LA, etc…

Xpand Rally

Xpand Rally

This was the first racinggame using Techland’s Chrome engine and just as I like that game I like this one too.

For starters I still think this game has great graphics even though they’ve aged (see guide for setting it too your desktop resolution) and while it doesn’t have an official WRC license or cars it does have an interesting carreer mode where you can buy upgrades for your cars.

In simulation mode a good setup, knowing the limitations of your cars and managing your speed accordingly are key to win in this game and I found this refreshing after comparing the driving in this game with the more arcade oriented rally games of the time, only Richard Burns Rally was more realistic.

I’ll admit that rally games are my guilty pleasure. Most feature mushy controls, daft physics or ridiculously undamageable cars. this has none of those. The controls are crisp, the physics moderately good, and cars which will fly apart satisfyingly when you ram into a building or errant rock. The career feature is quite well done, leaving you to decide which cars to buy to win certain races. It does have relatively few maps (4 maybe?), but a lot of variety of tracks round them keep things moderately interesting. Stability-wise, there were very few glitches (I can count them on one hand, after months of play). The car addons actually feel like they’re making a difference, and strategic part and tyre-selection can make an impossible stage remarkably enjoyable.

Horror Drift (ホラードリフト)

Ever wanted to deliver tofu while drifting on japanese touge runs? Great, because this is your chance, only problem is that the tracks you were assigned to are a little…haunted. Try not to get discouaged by the sinister presences and complete your run to earn your fame into this haunted drift world!

Be careful though: on the tracks, numerous evil entities are trying to slow you down and make you crash. Will you be able to avoid them all and cross the finish line?

Taxi Chaos

Taxi Chaos

Awesome, very close to sega’s crazy taxi which was out in the late 90s. That version is available on steam but Taxi Chaos is more modern with better graphics!

Has a sense of humour with driver/passenger chat and so on. You only have a few moments to deliver a passenger to his or her destination then you simply move on to your next customer. Each customer asks to go to a different location which can be long or short distance. Long distance gives you more points but short distance takes less time so you can move on to your next customer more quickly and boost your time limit counter.

Not what I was expecting. Since Crazy Taxi is one of the only comparable game in this genre, I’ll be using that as a basis.

For starts, everything about this game is a watered down version of Crazy Taxi, even to the original. The game isn’t nearly as chaotic or fast paced.

The environment is based of of NYC and isn’t nearly as fun or dynamic to traverse as the other Crazy Taxi games. Because it’s NYC and as a flat as a board, the game is built around having to jump like an Italian plumber to even get a good time if you can find the spots to do that, that is.

The Drift Challenge

The Drift Challenge

The controls and physics can be a bit questionable at the very beginning - regulate those!

But it’s still mindless fun for anyone that likes crashing cars ahem - drifting.

After grinding a bit for some XP and money, you’ll soon find yourself trying to mess with maps boundaries and flying out of them, as it’s a typical in early stage development Unity game™

Also take in mind that:

Current price = one liter of Kefir

! (Kvass is far more expensive than that)

Very cool concept, cant wait for the Free roam!

-Car input feels a little delayed

-should be more than a buck

-graphics should be improved with time

-could be a big game

-doing a normal 180 is impossible (only -180’s)

-no instructions (I dont mind) just a thought

-found a game breaking xp bug

-fun to play when you have jack shite to do during Quarantine

-im now max level… with almost 15 hours

if i had to choose two words to describe this goddamn masterpiece, i would say

passionate and beuatifula

it has powerboxus that you have to send to the end of the level. very challenging gamep[lay to boot. Recommend .

Real player with 34.1 hrs in game

Wow. That’s all i can say. This game is thrilling, you drive a nearly broken tractor with poor steering and brakes through steep narrow hill roads. But this is what makes this game great. It’s a challenge, and it’s so optimised that it could run on a PC from 2006. It is also dirt cheap. I recommended it to a friend.
