The Tokyo Drift based Fast and Furious game is far from being bad, and in fact, weren't for issues with handling, was an underrated gem in a then oversaturated Tuner-based racing game scene.


** Also overlaps with DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: ''Crossroads'' is repeating the missteps of ''[[Film/TheFastAndTheFuriousTokyoDrift Tokyo Drift]]''-based 2006 ''The Fast and the Furious'' game, being another ''[=FnF=]'' game developed by another British company, released by the same publisher, and received ''even more'' mediocre reviews.

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The game was excoriated by critics for its monotonous gameplay, mediocre graphics, questionable physics, and lackluster plot, to the point of making the ''Tokyo Drift''-based [=PS2=] game a better [=FnF=] game (also developed by another British company and published by Bandai Namco Games back then). If weren't for the license, this could be called ''VideoGame/ProjectCARS: Crossroads'' instead.

* ScrappyMechanic: While the game was badly received, the multiplayer was even more criticized by the players who played it, requiring ''nine'' players on three sides (three on each side) in order to start the game.
