The one notable new mechanic is a nitrous boost mechanic – an obvious inclusion for a Fast & Furious tie-in – and it’s been implemented well. Several driving aids can be toggled to hone the experience to your liking, and there’s a huge amount of joy to be gleaned from tearing up France in the Fast & Furious series’ iconic black Charger, watching the butterfly valves on the blower work overtime as you poise nearly 4,000 pounds of Detroit metal in the perfect drift. There are tight street races around Nice, high-speed blasts through the countryside, a small clutch of stunt challenges, and a pair of the series’ trademark Top Gear-inspired Showcase Events (which, in this case, pit your car against a helicopter and a plane).Īs you’d expect, the racing and driving here is just as blissfully brilliant as it is in FH2. It limits us to the French portion of the pre-existing map but it does cover quite a few event types in its brief two- to three-hour duration. It’s basically a chunky, themed demo for FH2. Unlike last year’s Storm Island expansion, FH2 Presents Fast & Furious takes place on part of FH2’s main map but is an entirely standalone game (although this means a confusingly hefty download, even if you already have FH2 installed on your Xbox One).

It’s a fun way to spend an evening, although I noted it’s an experience largely built by repurposing wholesale slabs of Forza Horizon 2 content rather than doing much new or interesting with the movie license. Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious is a short yet cleverly executed little crossover package that combines the beautifully balanced driving dynamics of the genre-leading Forza Horizon 2 with a smattering of some of the cars from Fast & Furious 7.
