I played the original Flatout and thought it was okay, with the carnage factor of going though the windshield of the car pretty cool. In this latest game, the formula is the same, and some pretty banged up cars and throw them on mostly dirt tracks, litterd witth crap, and try and race while killing each other. In this title though, it seems a lot more polished. The racing seems more fluid and fast paced and the overall feel of the game is greatly improved. The sound and graphics are not of absolute best quality, but the physics of the cars and the bits and peices you throw around is really quite impressive. The whole enviroment changes on each lap to give you an overall sense of anticipation, no matter what place you are in. I recently finished the game and was left wanting more. Thre is a large selection of races in the carrer mode but really, a few more championships and incentives to continue on would be nice. I have gotten 32hrs of gameplay out of it so far. The multiplayer is okay, but really there is no substance to the multiplayer at all. I also played this game with my MOMO force wheel. i would highly reccomend that you use a analog controller for this game as the keyboard seems like it could be really gay.
Overall I thought that this title was a great one. I enjoyed the crazy stunt mini games that would make you laugh when the guy bounces off the concrete floor about 50m. I just felt that the game lacked overall substance in length. maybe a few more cars to unlock and tracks to see with a few more challenges to increase longevity. A more meaty multiplayer would be nice too.
