iPhone drivers go mad for Fast & Furious YouTube connectivity
Almost 700 videos uploaded in opening weekend
Despite my best efforts to run the Fast & Furious films through the mud, Vin’s new petrolhead, meat-brain flick has gone down a storm at the box office, though it’s nowhere near as interesting as the reaction iPhone players have had to the licensed game.
Firemint built a rather unique form of online connectivity into the Silver Award-winning Fast & Furious: The Game, allowing players to create a free Cloudcell account from within the game, then upload replays of their finest rubber-burning moments direct to YouTube.
All the replays are stored in publisher I-play’s dedicated Fast & Furious YouTube channel, and almost 700 have been uploaded during the game’s opening weekend, with more than 3,000 hot-wheeled drivers registering for the service.
Head on over to the Fast & Furious YouTube channel and check out some of the mad driving skills, and feel free to give us links to your own replays in the comments section below.
