Flatout ultimate carnage xbox 360 review
So is this a game that will worry burnout or is it just a terrible racer well read on and find out.
Single player
Ok now im going to give you my honest opinion and if you disagree its ok. This game has some serious problems and come close to ruining the whole experience one of these problems is the amount of objects on the tracks they may be impressive but not only do they distract you they slow you down and every track is full useless crap and it just was not needed.
Next is the cars now they go quickly but they handle poorly because if you turn into a corner at 150km you will go right off and wonder why they call it flatout because this is unacceptable for a game about speed and carnage and it ruins the sense of speed because once you get up to high speed prepare to brake and feel like your playing forza its just not impressive at all.
Flatout does have good points though and one is the graphics they look fantasitc especially the water its stunning and the team have used a fair amount of the 360s power to give you polished impressive visuals.
The track races are poor but flatout succeeds when you play the derbys this is not only entertaining but actually has you nervous especially online and its a laugh most of the time.
The party games like shooting your driver out your window is amusing and challenging and if you get your friends over a good laugh but its not easy so be warned.
closing comments
Flatout has impressive visuals fun party games but as a racer it just does not click the races are frustrating and the cars handling is just not good enough and the amount of objects on the road is more like a technical excercise rather than essential for the actual game but if you like the look of it rent it and you never know it may be good enough for a buy.
Pros
derbys are tense
excellent visuals
party mode is quite funny
cons
Car handling honestly ruins most of the game
objects on track are just not essential
frustratingly hard later on in the game
gets repetatiive after a long while
