I honestly don't think this is as bad as people say. Maybe that comes from being blinded as i am a massive fan of the films, but i think this could have been a good game if they had focused up and polished it.
I always liked the idea of mission based driving games, Driver: San Fransico is one of my favorite games ever. I think there are some really fun missions in this. The one that is a homage to the vault heist as you tow a giant wrecking ball, outrunning a sandstorm or the great final one where you chase a freaking giant missile.
Those missions are admittedly a minority amongst the more generic chases, races and especially dull drive from point A to B ones. If it had focused entirely on the more over the top set-piece levels and really polished them up i think it would have worked much better.
It certainly is a much better game than Showdown, but i do hope before the series ends we get a genuinely good game because come the fuck on, it shouldn't be that hard to make a game out of these films. Doesn't even have to be great. Gimmie a 7/10 F&F, i am not greedy. Family deserves better.
