Gameplay

The game is similar to the previous Fast & Furious mobile games as well as the series Asphalt. Tilt controls and a third-person view are used by default, but can be changed to a front view and touch controls. Acceleration is automatic and nitro boosters can be used to gain extra speed. There is also a rewind function that allows the player to go back in time to avoid accidents. Parts sets that create road hazards occasionally occur during races.

Each chapter begins with a history race and once the additional race events are completed they are available. There are a few different career modes: normal races and time attacks, eliminations where the player has to push opponents off the road, drag races that have to do with displacements and drift races where the player has to drift. as much as possible. To advance to the next chapter, fame points must be earned by performing well in events.

There is also a multiplayer mode that allows races with up to ten players. It can be played online as well as through Wi-Fi or bluetooth.

AppGamer wrote: "Far from being another throwaway license, Fast Five takes the best of the movie and the best of other racing games and creates something unique and fun. Aside from a few presentation issues, this turns out to be the best Gameloft's racing game yet".

Bryan Lufkin of Gamezebo wrote: "Minor quirks aside, Fast Five will be a real treat for those who like iOS racers. The fairly extensive list of unlockables and titles to achieve, as well as online multiplayer, guarantee Vin Diesel wannabes will whet their appetite for flashy drag races and high-speed gameplay."

Blake Grundman of 148Apps wrote: "Although Fast Five the Movie: Official Game is supposed to be a compliment to the movie, it honestly feels like another attempt to exploit Gameloft's existing customer base."

Tom Orry of VideoGamer wrote: "If you're looking for a tilt-based racing game that mimics the great titles on home consoles, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is a better iOS title complete and accomplished."

Tommaso Pugliese from Multiplayer.it wrote: "Fast Five the Movie: Official Game is a good racing game with very good graphics, a rich career mode and online multiplayer for up to ten players. controls not working as they should: tilt controls are pretty inaccurate, touch controls are definitely better, but you always struggle to perform a power swipe."
