Flatout 2 is a great game for driving mindlessly into anything that can be destroyed. Fences, poles,shop windows, junk lying around the streets. It can be fun to race the 7 other drivers that will run you off the road any chance they have. You can attempt records by firing your poor unexpecting driver out of the car into the air and landing face first in a pile of dirt. There are several driving modes where you'll need to buy addons to your car to keep up or make it stronger. There's just plain driving crashing where your soul objective is to finish and cause destruction. There's a derby mode so you can spend your whole time maming the other drivers. A challenge mode which has jet powered cars that propelle you off the end of a ramp into space and attempt to break as many of the driver's bones as possible. All good clean fun. Oh yes, you can have headon and your poor hapless driver will disappear thru the front window, once again coming to grief is some poor unfortunate way.
Definately one for the drivers, and probably ONLY for the drivers, because once you've driven around the circuits for awhile, it gets repetitive and dull. Just much harder and frustrating when you've got a 10 second lead, then magically the computer driver will disappear down a hidden pass and beat you to the finish line.
The graphics are gorgeous and will look great on any of the better graphics cards, the sound and music go hand in hand with the crashes, the controls, well break out your steering wheels for this one and finally lastability ??? Well I suppose your could play it again and again if only to beat your lap times. Me well a few hours (about 30) of driving and its back in the cupboard for safe keeping.
