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.
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.

This is one of the best street racing games ever. 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. Feel the burst of speed and velocity of this game. Plus many Fast and Furious characters return in this game too. It's very interesting to see.

I love this game it's good maybe even great!! I like how it takes after Tokyo Drift which is not a bad thing! I love the cars, the soundtrack, and of course the customization I think that this game uses the Fast & Furious name well. A solid F&F game and a very solid racing game. I'd recommend it to any racing game fan and Fast & Furious fans!!!!!!

The driving physics are tuned too much for drifting, making the street racing sections play a little awkwardly, while the drift races are too easy because you aren't penalized for driving like an idiot. However, the cars carry a great sense of weight and presence on the street and the customization options are excellent.
With the enhanced version of "Midnight Club 3" retailing for $20, I see little need for this title. [Nov. 2006, p.134]
An utterly forgettable racer devoid of charm or pizzazz. [May 2007, p.66]
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]
Only for the truly hardcore street racing fans. It's not a good enough racer to attract the wide base of casual videogame race fans, and we can't recommend more than a rental even for the die-hard gearheads.
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 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

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.

Physics are simply terrible, anyone has a concept about "what a tuned car should act like" will agree with me. I put some rating points to this game only for the tasty body kits and rims, these fantastic cars deserve a better platform.

Summary Inspired by the events of Universal Pictures' upcoming film, "The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift," this game immerses players in the underground world of drift racing. Set in a world related to, yet separate from, the movie, the game features a drift mechanic that makes drifting accessible to both beginning and veteran racing game drive...
