Fast & Furious 6: The Game lands on iOS

fast and furious 6

I never thought I’d be saying this, but we are now just a week away from the release of Fast & Furious 6. I don’t think anyone could have predicted the adrenaline-pumping street-racing hit of 2001 was going to blossom into a 6 movie franchise. But here we are.

As it seems customary these days, the folks behind FF6 have released a game to go along with the feature film. The 3D racer takes you through the mean streets of London, where you must race your way to money and respect. And it’s now available on iOS…

Here’s the official trailer for the game, which was developed by Kabam (they did The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth):

Like Kabam’s other titles, Fast & Furious 6 is a ‘freemium’ game. That means that while the game itself is free, you will be frequently hounded to cough up money for in-app purchases. I don’t think it’s as bad in this game as it is in others, but it’s still annoying.

As for the game itself, the graphics are surprisingly good. They’re sharp and vibrant, and do a great job doing the insane lineup of cars justice. Gameplay is about what you’d expect from a movie sidekick like this—cheesy plot and movie cutaway scenes included.
