The Fast and the Furious is strictly about one-on-one races--which take place either on the Tokyo freeway system known as the Wangan or in the winding hills outside Tokyo known as the Touge--and where you race influences the racing style. The Touge is filled with the kind of hairpin turns that make drifting a necessity, while the Wangan is mostly straightaways littered with traffic. All across the city you'll find various hot spots where the different street racing crews are based, and from these different hot spots you can challenge anyone in the crew to a race of his or her choosing, though there aren't that many race types to choose from, and most are finished in well under four minutes. On the Wangan there are basic point-to-point races, as well as top-speed races that simply challenge you to achieve a higher top speed than your opponent before the end of the track. On the Touge, there are drift battles, where you're scored based on how well you drift around corners, and grip battles, which is really just another name for the same type of point-to-point races you'll do on the Wangan

Pros: Good variety of licensed cars, aftermarket parts; it says "the fast and the furious" right on the box.
Cons: Limited number of race types; tracks get repetitive quickly; inconsistent frame rate; early races can be easily exploited to kill any semblance of challenge.

The game takes a stab at relevance by basing itself largely on the most recent film in the franchise, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and accordingly, all of the driving takes place in and around Tokyo. Though you'll see the names of characters from the films dropped on occasion, the connection isn't overt, and the game doesn't really have a story of its own. You play as some nameless street racer, and your existence revolves around beating each member of all the different crews in Tokyo, along the way earning a lot of money to be spent on more cars and upgrades.

For a game called The Fast and the Furious, the game is frustratingly slow from the start. The cars you can initially select are painfully sluggish, and it's nearly impossible to do any worthwhile drifting. Additionally, there are only a few crews for you to challenge from the beginning. It can be frustrating as you bang away at opponents who simply outmatch you, though just because you beat an opponent doesn't mean you can't race that opponent again. With a little patience, you can take on the same inferior opponent over and over again, racking up the necessary bankroll to get a better car with some high-end upgrades. In fact, there's an early top-speed race that pays well enough that after a half-dozen repeated victories you can buy a car that will beat any of your opponents in the foreseeable future. The game encourages you to maintain two separate rides, one for straight racing and one for drifting, but by gaming the system, you can easily build a single car that capably suits both needs. And just like that, the game goes from feeling incredibly punishing to offering no challenge whatsoever.
There's kind of an open-world thing going on in The Fast and the Furious, and in between crew challenges you can just drive around the city, hitting various hot spots, dealerships, and tuner shops, though you can just as easily pull up the game's city map and instantly warp to a specific location, further shrinking the game's already streamlined, miniaturized take on Tokyo. There are a total of 80 different crew members for you to challenge, as well as 40 racers you'll meet out on the open road, whom you can challenge to a race on the spot by flashing your headlights. It's a good amount of racing, but even early on it seems like you're just racing on the same strips of road over and over again. The game also has a simple online component that lets up to four players race at once, though our experience with it wasn't particularly favorable. The game seemed to stutter when all four cars were in close proximity, which made for a lot of jumpy starts. Though there's no damage model for the cars in The Fast and the Furious, a little nudge from another car can easily cause a spinout, so most of our online ra

Not that 771mb is a lot of space these days, but man how things have changed. Included in that 771mb is photo editor, OCR utility and a host of other utilities. I have had the printer 2 days now and don't have anything negative to say. The price is a tad high ($499) but the features you get are unreal. I have a wireless network and it took me all of about 2 minutes to get it connected. It locates the wireless networks in range, yes even your neighbors; you type your WEP key right on the printer interface and your finished. Couldn't have been easier. Granted, you need to have your wireless network setup before hand, but hey this is almost what plug and pray was supposed to be....simple. Also, the color display and menu system are light years ahead of my old HP D145 and that is only 2 years old. Anyway, the printing quality is right up there with the best of them even though it does take some drying time on the ink....as do all inkjets. It has more digital camera slots then I know what to do with, but to the serious mom/dad it should cover whatever you have. It handles 2 sizes of paper, 8.5 x 11 & 14, on 2 trays with about a half of ream storage in each, and again the duplex unit. Overall, as an IT manager with 200 supported printers company-wide this is really a gem amonst the ink jet stones and i'm glad I bought it for myself. :)
