This game suprised me alot than the first did. The first was great, it had all these high pace "Burnout" style races and more, with the additon of stunts, made it a good game, but this one adds more to the game which makes it even better. First off there are ALOT of more cars than in last years game. They are divided into three classes, Derby, Race, and Street, with also some bonus cars such as a Flatmobile (Obvious rip-off of the Batmobile :P) and a SCHOOL BUS THAT GOES INSANELY FAST!! The Derby class is like the cars that we had last year, Race is a better class with a mix of muscle and racing cars, but not super, street goes into the nice looking, dirt free as I should say cars that are the best to use in some races, but I must warn you to get a car with GOOD HANDLING, I suggest the Nevada pick up truck as it has got good top speed and Great Handling. If your car has bad handling and a good top speed, expect to drive into walls alot cause it is very hard to control the car. I havent really played the Carrer mode yet but I am sure it will be like last years carrer mode, check the GS review for more details on that, cause I just rented the game and used a cheat to unlock everything. :P I just wanted the cars from the start. The added stunts this year are also fun and pretty good. It is a little harder to do than last years stunts, but after a while you will get the hang of it. Added stunts such as Basketball, Soccor, Field Goal, Stone Skipping, RING OF FIRE!, and more make stunts a bigger mode than in the first game. They added a Nudge button that makes it where if pressed during launch, the driver will move a bit, but it makes drag, which makes it harder to go forward. Also there is a sorta Burnout feature that makes it where you can move your player around so you can try to hit something you want while he is launched, but as well this causes drag. There are much more tracks this year around and all just about are fun to play. I enjoyed most of them such as the Forest tracks and such. There is also some special tracks such as unfinshed race tracks and figure 8 tracks. There is a track called "Crash Alley" which is REALLY FUN! IT is shaped like a bone sorta, you go, turn around at the end, and take the same straightway to get to one end and the other, which makes alot of head on wreaks, which are fun to watch if you are playing around and not serious about winning the race much. There is also Destruction Derby, which is a neat idea, but can be improved on a bit to make it much more fun. It has its moments, but just isnt as fun as you think. Not much to say about that. The soundtrack is good also, with some very good song in the playlist, Rob Zombie, Papa Roach, Nickelback, and more rock artists just to name a few each have at least one or two songs in the game, most with two. I find the soundtrack very enjoyable to listen to while I am playing the game. Well to close out I would first say if you are curious rent it like me to just test it out. I would say for myself though if I had enough money I would want to buy it. It is a very fun and enjoyable game and better than the first one.
So the sequal to my all-time favourite racing game is here - FlatOut 2. After having cleared all three racing classes (Derby, Racing and Street) in the Single Player career mode and played numerous hours of FlatOut 2 Onl... Read Full Review
Flatout is reknowned for it's great looking environments, cars, enjoyable single/multiplayer and reckless driving stunts. The sequal doesn't disappoint. With a large variety of new features, it caters to new and old play... Read Full Review
