    This game is really a cheap version of GTA just with Vin Diesel in. (Which you have probably heard alot). The game doesn't look too bad, must say I hate the music though. The steering is awful and even worse in some cars than others, The achievements aren't to difficult just quite timely due to the requirements etc. I would say either rent this and put up with the terrible game or buy it and complete it over a period of time.

    Boring, I'm only glad I rented instead of purchasing like I intended to - was truly a let down after the demo which I quite liked.

    As someone else has said this is just a cheap GTA!! If you want to steal cars drive around like a crazy fool get GTA not this. The handling is shocking, story is average at best and the whole Vin thing is just pointless

  • A lot of flaws but a moderately good rental game.

    The storyline is unoriginal, the handling of the on foot sections are ropey and the open world feels limited, but all this in consideration it's actually a fun game at times. I wouldn't recommend anybody to buy it but as a rental title, there is enough to keep you occupied for more than 5 hours. One flaw I found was on a few of the delivery missions. The car you were in pursuit of seems to be running on rocket fuel on a few occasions, meaning you have to rely on luck to get close enough to jump to it. There are also a few on-foot missions but thankfully the majority of the game takes place behind the wheel of a car.

    The main feature the game is lacking is a multiplayer mode. The cinematic chase music is very good, and the car handling is run of the mill for a driving game.

    It was ok, good storyline and nice cars although car handling and overall gameplay isnt brilliant, graphics could have been better.
