Burnout has some competition........

Speaking of games, racing games. What can statisfy your racing needs? Just hitting the pedal to the metal and just drive the track? Somewhat... Or driving in a big muscle car with a roaring engine? Almost... Having tons of breakable objects on the track, ready to run over? Nearly... Having eleven pissed off dudes in big ass rides driving alongside you, knowing that in the corner 500 yards ahead, a helluva' crash will occur?

Three words: Hell. ****ing. Yes.

This morning I got my copy of Flatout Ultimate Carnage. I got my copy from a guy who lives in Cleveland, OH. He imports games from Europe and Asia. For 49 dollar, I bought a brand new region-free copy of Flatout Ultimate Carnage. I'm probally one of a small group of Americans who has this game. As, the official NTSC release is September 4th.

I'm fairly new to the series, as I've been a complete BurnoutTM junkie. People say that it's a graphically enhanced Fallout 2, but a must-have for newbies to the series. So, therefor the purchase. I remember I bought Demolition Derby, a PS1 game which got released in 1996. I never found a game that was even alike to it. Just the old-fashioned "a group enters, a single one leaves" game. Flatout Ultimate Carnage has the Burnout-alike racing; Races, Series and a 12-in-1-out series-race. Flatout adds Demo Derbies, Ragdoll Minigames and revolutionairy graphics.

Even tough, the manual and boxart is in French, the game is English... Thank god. I don't speak a single damn word French...

This is the game I've been waiting for, litterally years have been gone past since a real next-gen, and I do mean next gen as the graphics easily rank up to DiRT level. Anyway, it's been eleven years since Demolition Derby was released... And, far-out-of-the-family Empire Interactive has finally reincarnated it.

Aside from it having a great, lenghty and durable solo-campaign, it also has 32 challenges which have these modes where you gotta create as much havoc as you can. Aside from these two, it has the best car-to-car-combat online expirience I have ever been in. A twelve-player Demolition Derby on aWall-Mart parkinglot? 'Hail the ****ing awesomeness damnit! The online is completely lag free, and doesn't seem to lower in framerate when alot of physics are activated. There's alot of cars to choose from, and all are completely destructable 'till there's no breakable object on it.

This is the best racing game I've had in years... I already see Forza Motorsport, PGR and others go back in the dusty cabinet...
