Spontaneously combusting cars are a more effective inner city traffic solution.
#Flatout ultimate carnage carts drivers#
On the one hand, it's kind of cool that the AI drivers are as malevolent as any human would be, but on the other it's bloody annoying to be suddenly blindsided and effectively out of the race with nothing you could realistically have done about it. Then you'll be hit by someone else while you're trying to get back onto the track. Quite often you'll be tootling along quite happily nudging up towards the podium places, and some bugger behind you will use their nitro boost and come flying up, bumping and spinning you out. It plays merry hell with your insurance for starters (just how many points do you get for driving through a shopping centre?) and the savage AI opposition can prove more than a handful. It's total carnage, and some of the huge pile-ups that occur on a lap-by-lap basis are fabulously chaotic, not to mention lusciously rendered with some excellent damage modelling.Īlthough this maximum wreckage policy does have its drawbacks.
Be prepared for T-boned cars, bonnets and doors flying everywhere, ripped up chain-link fences and smashed shop windows (one track has you driving through the plate glass windows of a shopping mall). This means even on those tighter turns, you can batter your way around on other cars, as the time lost in the bumping and scraping is made up for by the turbo boost you'll bag and use on the next straight.Īs a result, the races in the career mode are pretty wild. Smashing into obstacles and other drivers, as well as catching air off big ramps, fills your nitro boost meter up. If you've not experienced it before, FlatOut is a destruction-based racer. The tracks consist mostly of straights and gentle corners you can fly down, although there are some tighter bends it's necessary to brake for and power-slide around, so the game isn't a complete blundering no-skill affair. It's just floor-the-accelerator and do what you must to win.
