The modes are so basic for a racing game that if FlatOut was anymore bare Jack Thompson would be trying to change the rating. Online- Unfortunantly I couldn’t get online with the game due to ISP problems I’m having, but it’s there and looks like it supposrts all of the games races/modes including the Hotseat games. Hotseat- Play the driver toss mini-games with one controller that you pass back and forth. Lots of fun to cause a friend to go through their windshield, but what happened to the other drivers? Splitscreen- Race against one other person in any track you unlock. There are also 3 different destruction derbies where you have to be the last man standing to win, and a couple of other gimmick races that feel almost tacked on. Plus the directions you are given before playing them are frustratingly unclear. The long and high jump just old once you figure out the best ways of doing them. Pretty quickly actually and I like that sort of thing. ![]() You’d think throwing the ragdoll driver through the window and watching him land in ways that no contortionist could bend wouldn’t get old. Darts, Clown, and Bullseye you launch your driver trying to hit different targets. Bowling you throw your driver far and try to knock down as many pins as you can. There’s also Darts, Bowling, Clown, and Bullseye, which are pretty much different variations of high and long jump. Think about baseball and you can make that third lap last awhile.īonus- Not only does the game include the ability to launch your driver through the window, but they included mini-games that revolve around this ability! These include Long and High ‘Jump’ where you send the driver out the window as far or as high as you can. Time Trial- Do three laps around a track and try to get your best time. Quick Race- Race once through whatever tracks you’ve unlocked. The mode is servicable for a racing game, but then so is sitting on your hand then giving yourself a ‘stranger’, just because it’s servicable doesn’t mean it’s good. You play a track, beat it, unlock the next, move on. It’s like the Attack of the Basic Career mode for a racing game. ![]() More cars will be unlocked to buy along the way and you can also use money from winning races to buy parts for your car. Lather, rinse, repeat to the Gold medals. Once you beat all of the Bronze tracks the Silver racetracks become available and more Bonus games are unlocked. There are 9 tracks that you have to race through and must place within the top three in order to unlock the next track. After that you can race for the Broze medal or in one of the Bonus races. It’s a racing game, what story? So let’s check out the modes:Ĭareer- This mode starts you out with $4,000 and you can select a car to buy. Let’s break it down and see how it holds uo up. FlatOut is the latest smash-em-up racer to hit the market, with the added thrill of being able to launch your driver out of the window. The video game industry recognizes those of us who like to smash other cars every now and then, while Gran Turismo and Project Gotham Racing might satisfy the racing needs for some, we need games like Eve of Destruction and Burnout 3 to feed out destructive appetites. Not everyone will admit to enjoying a good car crash but there are some of us who not only enjoy it but have developed crashing cars into one of the highest forms of redneck art, the Demolition Derby, otherwise known as competitive bumper cars for adults. ![]() People love car crashes, it’s why we slow down traffic to gawk at some unlucky guy whose car is laying in pieces by the side of the road and why our action movies are full of cars running into each other. Let’s face it, even if racing purists don’t want to admit it there is one defining reason to watch Nascar: Someone might crash.
