It’s been more than a few years since the original The Fast and The Furious film got high-speed-wannabes all hot and bothered. Despite some attempts, though, nothing substantial materialized for fans of the films on the gaming side for quite awhile. Finally, a title based loosely on the Tokyo Drift sequel appears on our shores, first on PS2in Marchand now on PSP.However, despite a seriously ambitious amount of cars, tuning options, and races, this TFATF fails to totally electrify the gearhead in all of us.
