The Fast and the Furious: Drift[ | ]

The Fast and the Furious: DRIFT is a sequel to The Fast and the Furious and was also developed and published by Raw Thrills. Drift is very much like its predecessor. But it also has seven new courses to race on and some new cars to drive with - as well as a new soundtrack. Like its predecssor, it features customizable add-ons to your car like N2O (nitrous oxide), spoilers (for speed), decals, tires (for traction), and engines (for acceleration), and players use the money they've earned from races. Unlike the first game and its spinoff, it has a new status system; the players can view their car and upgrades. New cars include the Ford GT, Ford Mustang, Dodge Viper, Dodge Challenger, Saleen S7, Mazda RX-8, Mazda RX-7, Pontiac Solstice, and Chevrolet Camaro. Cars that were taken out are the Toyota Supra, Toyota MR2, the Mitsubishi Eclipse (and Evo), Nissan 240SX, Toyota Celica, Dodge Charger, the Chevrolet Corvette, the Pontiac Firebird and the Pontiac GTO. Like its predecssor, it features the PIN that can save your progress that you made throughout the game by typing a code.
