10 Worst Licensed Video Games Of The Generation (So Far)

Everyone who knows their Norris from their Willis understands that Vin Diesel is a massive video game nerd. The first time he brought one of his franchises to the medium, the result was a cult classic, Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher's Bay, which still holds up as one of the best licensed games ever made. So why not give the same treatment to his bigger franchise, Fast & Furious?

Well… this is why.

Crossroads is less a video game and more an awkward tech demo stitched together with duct tape and explosions. Despite being developed by Slightly Mad Studios (best known for Project CARS), the handling is clunky, the action is stiff, and the visuals wouldn’t look out of place on a PS3 launch title. Even the star power of Diesel, Rodriguez, and Tyrese can’t save it-their voice work sounds bored, the facial animations are wooden, and the story is pure Saturday-morning nonsense (but without the charm).

Worse, it barely delivers on the one thing it should’ve nailed: car-based action. Set pieces are uninspired, car combat is laughable, and the entire thing can be finished in under five hours. It feels like a tie-in from a bygone era - rushed, shallow, and completely out of touch with modern standards.

Crossroads was delisted less than two years after launch, and frankly, that's two years too many...
