A great arcade racing experience. The minigames and destruction are gratifying.
The game boast over 39 tracks, but it is 6 environments with somewhat different tracks. The ramming and crashing into other cars is fun, and more flushed out compared to the Burnout games. There is slam, power hit, and blast-out. At blast-out, the driver flies out of the car. That is very fun and enjoyable. It's a shame drivers don't fling out of their windshields when they get go front first in a brick wall. FlatOut Ultimate Carnage copies the Burnout 3 Takedown mechanic of causing damage/skills/tricks for boost, which just about every arcade racing game since September of 2004 has done.
The single player consists of two modes. FlatOut and Carnage. Carnage mode has a lot of fun minigames such as stunts and carnage racing which is causing as much damage as possible. The stunts consists of building up speed and launching your driver to hit targets. Which is a fun and creative minigame. The developers BUGBEAR Entertainment had a lot of creative ideas, and they were implemented well.
For racing, driving into objects actually lowers speed. Unlike most games when you run into breakable telephone poles, the car loses like 5 to 10 mph, but it FlatOut Ultimate Carnage the car loses 15 to 20 mph. For some of the races you cannot hug the rails, and nitro to the end. For some of the tracks there is the one rock, that if you hit it, the car rolls and flips.
For online, no one plays online.
Overall it's a good arcade racing game that can hold its own against Burnout Paradise.
