Video: Let's Play Fast & Furious: Showdown

lol

Excellent video! Much better than what Fast & Furious: Showdown probably deserved actually...

hahaa

omg that hurts me to watch lol im glad i picked up need for speed for the wii u instead of this !

I didn't think that video was really from the game so I had to go google it. OMFG that game really looks like that. And I saw PS3 footage so they can't even blame it on the WiiU. Beyond bad.

They should give a copy of this away free w/ the last Aliens game as it makes that look good.

I like how 3rd parties make terrible shovelware ports and complain that the Wii U can't sell them.

The better Activision racer to buy ↓

Um, ok. That was "interesting". And by that, I mean awful.

Lol!

Hahahahaha, that's a great video. The game looks so bad it's amazing. Can you guys do a longer lets play so we can laugh at the game and your misery?

Suddenly I got an urge to buy this game

I find huge amounts of entertainment from broken physics and stuff like that.

Best...Lets Play...Ever

Funny how the truck just flies even further than the other cars XD

Brilliant! When I saw the title on the homepage for some reason I thought you may do something like this

@MadAussieBloke Oh, man, thanks for showing that. I loved Enduro!!!

I thought this was hilarious, until I saw that it was a Wii U game. Now I'm just disgusted.

What is this, Activision, 1998?

(Okay, obviously it's still hilarious.)

That was classic!!! Review score should be the same. "Nope' out of 10

With this and their Walking Dead game, Activision seem to be aiming at becoming the LJN of this generation. I think we got enough of that the first time around.

"I don't think we're slower to move; we're a very choiceful company. We're very choiceful in the number of titles we make. We scrutinize opportunities very carefully, and when we go into them we go big." - Eric Hirshbirg, CEO of Activision

WHY RORY, WHY?

It really looks like a N64 game. And they dare to charge $60 for this?

@MadAussieBloke

For me Enduro is one of the best 2600 games ever. But then Activision was kinda an indie company, so of course they had talent and ambition.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

HAHA loved it.

lol i thought i was gameplay of an n64 game for a minute their.

Lol

that's a good one =D

@Mewtwo21 Rush 2049 on the N64 still looks better than this!

The shovelware shuffle begins for the Wii U.

...Nope

LOL... I loved it.. a complete review.. in all of well two seconds actually.. .. Nope..

Activision are certainly making a habit of publishing clearly unfinished, broken games! Lately there's been Black Ops Declassified, The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct and now this!

LOL loved it!

Aha, loved the ending bit. Perfect!

I think I'll wait for Mario Kart, thanks though!

lol! awesome video, love it!

Is this game REALLY this bad? And holy crap didn't you take out alot of cars without much speed lol

Let's Rage: Fast and Furious!

Make it happen, at least a 5 minute video

this video adds a whole new dimension to the term "succinct"

Wow, that was short but pretty hilarious!

Best thing I've seen all week. It looked so bad. I mean, really? I knew it would be bad, but Activision somehow managed to surpass my expectations in a bad way. That trash can part was funniest. That's right where the game belongs.

That actually looks awesome.

Nnnope!

Haha, great Let's Play!

I am actually open to the idea of doing a 'proper' Let's Play of this if the demand's there. But, before you make your decision, just ask yourself - what have I ever done to you?

Hahaha you actually made an article about this, great stuff!

bahahahahaha xDD activision, just stick to your doggiedododingleberry cod that are always the same, make another game and you screw everything up, cough this game and walking dead and 007 games, seriously, i wish eurocom was still here, activision is destroying the 007 games.

Big MacIntosh: Nnnnope!

@ScorpionMG Blood Stone and Goldeneye were good games.

Physics!? Where we're going we don't need physics!

@MadAussieBloke
Enduro is an awesome game. I might have to go play it again. It's been a while.

@ungibbed The shovelware shuffle started the moment EA did JUST mass effect 3 when they could have done an upgraded version of the series collection, plus all DLC.

Third parties have their arrogant heads so far up their donkey that they've lost sight of how to develop unique games for the Wii U, so they're relying on weak ports and failing because of it.
It's really sad. The Wii U deserves better than this.

@smashbrolink Mass Effect is not shovelware by any standered. I'm afraid you don't actually know what shovelware is.

This should win an Oscar or something like that... at least a nomination.

@smashbrolink I have Mass Effect 3, it's far better than I expected despite the EA hate. The shovelware I refer to is about 80 percent of the entire original Wii game library.

It's a real shame as. Even side by side few games that I do have for both my PS3 and Wii U look far better on the ailing Nintendo system. Trine 2 as an example is amazing showing so much more detail on par with the PC/Mac version. Many little details such as shader effects right away from the title screen and further on.

I just hope that games like F&F and other games that were just awful really don't deserve the "Official Nintendo Seal" which the words "of quality" stopped being printed in the GameCube days.

I had high hopes of quality titles and other greats being part of the Wii U which would no longer be a dumping ground for low budget games that not only were truly awful, games as such really killed the system where great games get lost in a maze full of trash.

Lol this is gold!

looks like an old ps1 game

So Activision are happy to pour this slop on the Wii u, yet a game like diablo 3 which would actually benefit from the Wii u gamepad is only coming to sony and xbox consoles.....
You can almost smell the stupid in the air lol

Bin!

I'm sick of everybody hating on this game. My buddy and I play it all the time. I don't feel it's worth full price, but it's well worth $20. As I said before, instead of following the trend, go pick up a used copy at GameStop for yourself and check it out. The controls take some getting used to, but we had a lot of fun with it. I should note that we played the PS3 version. I'm not sure their was any difference in quality between the systems.

Its sad for the people that actualy bought this, even 10 euro is to much for this crap.

Best YouTube video forever!

This article was embarrassing. NintendoLife, you are better than this!

@Casuallydressed What have you done to me? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!? You exposed me to this pile of dodongo dung of a game, so I call for blood. LET'S PLAY FAST AND FURIOUS!

I almost feel like they went -
Realistic physics - Nope. Who needs them?
Play as your heroes - Nope. Would be too expensive.
Drive a hundred highly tuned muscle cars - Nope. EA do that fine.
OK, So, What DO we include?
How about a odd looking car that can send other cars flying into the air like they weigh nothing? Great, Here's your $1m raise!

I expect to see this in the $10 bin soon.

I LOLed!

Great stuff.

Too funny!

The other cars just go by like balloons. Clearly that's how real-life physics work.

Only takes a few seconds to show just how bad this game is. At least it's worth a few laughs!

....Wow.

.......I kinda want to play it. for the very reason it's a bad game.....i want to send cars flying everywhere

LMAO but you guys should def do more let's plays and video content for real!

More like fast & furious: shovelware

Is that the sequel to Big Rigs?

@MeowGravy Yay, I feel the same way. Diablo 3 would make sense on Wii U, but noooo, let's put it on Sony and Microsoft consoles with only the traditional controllers ¬¬ I don't get third party developers anymore...

hahahaha brilliant article

It was so realistic when the hand threw the game into the trash can.

Is this... real life? Oh gosh, I hope not! That's the worst graphics I've seen on Wii U! LOL Don't even get me started on the physics...
