The fun part of it all is definitely the included mini-games inside Stunt Mode. The Destruction Derby game mode is all about wrecking your opponents and not letting it happen to you. Also those hard earned credits can also be put towards upgrades for your beast, which include everything from turbo kits to roll cages. Earn yourself enough credits and you can upgrade your current car, or purchase a new one in a better class, which will allow you to compete in other events. Each race and Cup won earns you credits which are used to buy new cars and upgrades. In the Cup you will be up against 11 other racers in a series of lapped courses. These events are either single races or a Cup. In FlatOut mode each class is split up into levels, with each level consisting of about six events. Regardless of class, all are equipped with Nitro which will be offered as a reward during races for either crashing into your opponents or course objects, or catching air time off jumps. Racing class cars are a bit more powerful, while Street class cars are the quickest of all (but are also the weakest).

You start off with the Derby class, which is the toughest of the bunch, but not the quickest. The FlatOut career mode sees players having to complete a series of events in three different car classes. Game modes include lapped races, the usual time-trial against the clock, and annihilating your opponents in a classic destruction derby. The cars in FlatOut handle fairly smoothly and don't become hard to control when you are off the track (you're also not spinning out when smashing through the littered roadside objects). You really get to experience what Ultimate Carnage is all about.įlatOut: Ultimate Carnage is more of an arcade racer, one which does not focus too much on realism but on the fun side of racing.
