There’s multiple races per cup and your finishing position in a race determines how many points you earn. There’s multiple classes of vehicles and each class has its own set of levels and cups per level. You start buy purchasing a vehicle and off you go. The FlatOut Mode is basically the single player career. There’s also a multiplayer component which I didn’t get the chance to try. There’s multiple game modes to play through like FlatOut Mode, Carnage Mode, and Single Events where you can just jump into any of the events for a quick game. You build up nitro from smashing, crashing, and driving off jumps. You can accelerate, brake, reverse, powerslide, and activate nitro for more speed. Ultimate Carnage feels more like an arcade racer than the first game did and the developers placed a bigger focus on the physics which is really where the fun stems from in this series. Vehicles can be destroyed if they take enough damage.
FLATOUT ULTIMATE CARNAGE REVIEW DRIVER
Vehicles will take damage somewhat realistically and crashes can result in your driver going flying. I’ve often heard FlatOut 2 is the best in the series and after doing some research, I chose Ultimate Carnage since it’s an enhanced version with new gameplay modes, vehicles, better visuals, and more.įlatOut: Ultimate Carnage is a physics-based racing game where you race around tracks, participate in demolition derby matches, and perform stunts that involve you ejecting your driver out of the windshield. I also installed ThirteenAG’s widescreen fix which does require disabling Games for Windows Live.
FLATOUT ULTIMATE CARNAGE REVIEW PC
For this review, I played the PC version of Ultimate Carnage and, unfortunately, it does use Games for Windows Live but I was able to disable it by using a replacement XLive.dll. The enhanced version, FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage was released for Xbox 360 in July, 2007 and PC in August, 2008. Developed by BugBear Entertainment and published by Empire Interactive, FlatOut 2 was released for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 2 in August 2006.

I think it could have placed a bigger emphasis on the physics aspect but it’s still fun. The original FlatOut is a physics-based racing game and it’s pretty fun.
