Overall it’s really fun and a game I would recommend.” Despite the price this is amazing! It costs so much because of all the sensors and lights in the cars. In the game you get two pieces that are jump pieces, which means your car goes up one piece and jumps off to the other, which I find fun to do and exciting to watch. The thing I liked the most was the fact you could buy guns in the app and shoot the other players even though the guns were in the app. “I honestly got addicted to racing and battling with the cars. To test that, we had budding critic Róisín Farrell Treacy, age nine, put F&F Overdrive through its paces, and it seemed to pass muster: Yes, it’s a fairly violent, aggressive game, but the intuitive controls and simple set-up make it pretty kid-friendly. Having said that, the real fun is in going head to head with your mates in PVP battle mode. The conceit of the F&F edition, of course, is that you’re racing against the Toretto crew, with Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Ludacris, and Michelle Rodriguez all lending their voices to the experience. You don’t even need a friend to play – you can compete against the game’s AI. This is what really pushes up the playability factor here – Overdrive isn’t so much a racing game as a carnival of car combat, with up to four players vying to leave their opponents scattered across a wide swathe of bitumen. Oh, and there are guns, guys! You can load up your car with weapons and gadgets, from gatling guns to grappling hooks, tractor beams and nitro boosters, buying them from the in-game store with prize money accrued as you win your way up the campaign ladder. The AI keeps the cars on track during the race, but you can change lanes by tilting your phone, letting you maneuver around your opponent and even attempt sideswipes and blocking. Once you assemble the modular track, which snaps together easily using magnets, the game’s AI “maps” it, with the cars running a quick test lap before the race proper. The new wrinkle is that there’s no slot: the cars – Dom Toretto’s Ice Charger and Hobbs’ MXT in the F&F starter kit – are controlled by an app. Essentially a high-tech update of slot racing, if you ever spent a Christmas morning assembling an elaborate plastic racetrack you’ll get the gist of the game pretty quickly. Overdrive has actually been kicking around since 2015. Luckily, it was worth the wait Anki Overdrive: Fast & Furious is an absolute blast. It is flat-out unbelievable that it took some eight movies before somebody got around to licensing The Fast and the Furious for a racing game.
