Fast and Furious Showdown 

 

I am constantly looking for ways to bring in more video game reviews to our magazine, website, video channels and more. I know we do all of these different things, but video games reviews is one of the first things Family Friendly Gaming was known for. I recently had a little extra time and decided to mess with Fast and Furious Showdown on the Nintendo 3DS. I have plenty of hand held video games that are awaiting my attention.

Fast and Furious Showdown is the perfect candidate for why Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS video games need to be playable on bigger screens. The speed is so fast and cars on the roads are hard to see. I would have very little time to react before crashing into something in Fast and Furious Showdown. It might be a wall, a semi, a truck, a car, or another racer. Fast and Furious Showdown needs to be playable on a bigger screen. Nintendo Switch 2 perhaps?

The controls for Fast and Furious Showdown on the Nintendo 3DS feel a little odd to me. We beat races, earn experience, and unlock more races. The cars look nice, and the voice acting sounds great in this hand held racing video game. The racing in Fast and Furious Showdown is on the more challenging side. There are not a lot of tracks and not a lot of racers in Fast and Furious Showdown.

The music in Fast and Furious Showdown is pretty jamming. I enjoyed listening it while trying to get into first place. I liked the references to the different characters within Fast and Furious Showdown. I had a little fun playing Fast and Furious Showdown. I also got stuck at one point and was unable to progress in this story driven racing video game. This is a sad truth in a lot of hand held video games that also have console versions.

There are plenty of things to break in Fast and Furious Showdown. We can also smash into other cars in Fast and Furious Showdown. Be careful how much you bash and crash in Fast and Furious Showdown. If you take too much damage then you will lose the level. Which is really lame since these races are on the longer side. If you love Fast and Furious then you might have a little fun with Fast and Furious Showdown until you get stuck.
