Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R

Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R is a racing game developed by ‘3D Clouds‘ and published by ‘Outright Games‘. Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R is said to be coming out in November 2021 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and PC. This game is looking to be all about that racing action.

Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R is pretty simple to put together and understand. You know that series called Fast & Furious? Done by Dreamworks and universal pictures. Yeah that series. This game, Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R was inspired by it. Couldn’t you tell? So yeah, this is what this game is all about. Pick from a range of characters, jump in the vehicle and go real fast with a few twists though.

We know that Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R is basically a big tournament but just listen to the description given by the developers themselves. “The elite criminal racing gang, SH1FT3R, returns in the game and it’s up to the Spy Racers team to stop them from winning the ultimate cutting-edge vehicle that will cause chaos in the wrong hands. Players will go undercover and race as their favorite characters, including Tony Toretto, Echo, Cisco, Layla Gray, or even race as the notorious SH1FT3R gang including Shashi Dar, Moray, Rafaela Moreno, and more. Fans can use spy weapons to speed through secret shortcuts and personalize customizable cars with a range of skins”.

This says quite a bit but over sells it in our opinion. The weapons make it more action based like crash team racing and Mario kart. The tracks are set in 5 different locations. The developers call them incredible but only a few are. Los Angeles isn’t incredible but the sahara desert is. There’s off course online play and features. The best feature of Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R is that there is split screen. Split screen races up to 6 players. We welcome another racing game but so far Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R hasn’t shown enough to be taken real serious by us yet.

We checked out some Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R gameplay and it’s not what we expected at all from the start. From the title of the game, what we expected. A very different result indeed. We currently are not a complete fan of this game. It’s like a blend of realistic and cartoony and it doesn’t work too well here. We need to see much more of Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R. Graphically, especially concerning the environments and tracks, are good. 

Overall Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R does not look like it’s going to be good so far. We hope to see things turn around soon. This game can easily be good and more for friends to get together and drive. The connection to fast and furious is weak. The developers need to step it up. We at X35 Earthwalker will have t hear what Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R gets done. Now Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R may have gone inspiration from a popular series but that series isn’t even enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
