I solved the problems by either turning the vehicles off and on, or closing and re-opening the app. I had no problems when connecting to all of the cars with my Samsung Galaxy S8 phone, but when I switched to a Lenovo Tab 4 10, a few times the app showed only one of the two cars on the menu, or failed to complete the handshake when I selected a car to drive. The only significant problem with the game experience is that, once in awhile, the app fails to see all of the cars as available for play, an issue I have also experienced with regular Overdrive. MORE: Anki Cozmo Review: An Adorable Coding Robot Buddy It's a great party game for adults, and my 5-year-old son loves to play Overdrive both with me and with his 7-year-old cousin. However, the biggest thrill of regular Anki Overdrive or this special edition is battling against friends in multiplayer. I can imagine getting bored hearing the same lines from the movies repeated over and over again if I played the game many times against NPCs (non-player characters). The ability to unlock new weapons or earn virtual currency for car upgrades made me want to keep playing to see what else I could unlock. As a fan of the Fast & Furious franchise, I enjoyed competing against my favorite characters from the films and driving cars that come from the franchise. Racing around the track is fun, but the game really hits its stride when you engage in a battle and have to target your opponent with virtual weapons.

And, once they have control, players can take out their opponents. Finally, if you have one of Anki's Supertrucks, you can do a 'Takeover Race,' where each player tries to gain control of the truck by shooting it.

A King of the Hill race awards points to the driver who remains 'king' long enough you become king by shooting the player who has the crown. In Time Trial, each contestant drives alone on the track, and the one with the shortest time wins. The goal of 'Battle Race' is to finish first, and you can slow your opponents down by shooting them. Anki tracks are so simple to use that my son was able to put them together by himself when he was 4 years old. They are extremely durable and easy to snap together with their built-in magnets. The tracks look and function just like regular Anki Overdrives, but they have a small Fast & Furious logo on their edges. The set comes with ten tracks: four straight pieces and six curve pieces. The computer-driven characters will drive whatever car hasn't already been selected by a human player, so Dom could end up driving Hobbs’ truck, which he never did in the movies. Dom doesn't have a special driving style that's different from Letty's or Tej's. Racing around the track is fun, but the game really hits its stride when you engage in a battle.Īside from hearing the dialogue and seeing the characters’ pictures on the screen, there's nothing character-specific about the gameplay. Characters will also repeat the same lines over and over within the same race. For example, Hobbs sometimes says, 'I'll get out of here the right way,' a line which comes when his character is in prison in the movie. The dialogue is very entertaining if you're familiar with the Fast & Furious movies, but it's also completely random and not necessarily relevant to what's happening in your race. For example, Dom says things like 'If a war is coming, we're gonna face it on the streets that we know best,' while Tej repeats lines such as 'Now I know what it feels like to be every cop ever chasing us.' Parents will be pleased to know that none of the dialogue contains profanity or sexual references.Īccording to Anki, the actors had to approve all of the audio, but none of it was recorded exclusively for the game.

When you compete against them, the characters spout random sound clips of things they said in the Fast and Furious movies.

One of the main differences between regular Anki Overdrive and the Fast & Furious Edition is that you can race against any of four characters from the movie series: Dom (Vin Diesel), Hobbs (the Rock), Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) or Tej (Ludacris). The biggest thrill is battling against friends in multiplayer.ĭepending on what mode you're in, you may have weapons you can use to shoot your opponents, either disabling their cars temporarily or scoring points in a 'battle race.' As you earn more points, you can unlock better and more effective weapons and outfit your car with them. You can't brake, but you can slow down by taking your finger off the pedal or holding only part of it down. There's no way to turn your car around or go into reverse. You accelerate by holding down an accelerator pedal and change lanes by tilting your mobile device. Controlling the cars is easy, and, in theory, you should never be able to drive offtrack.
