Flatout
built 648 days ago
Flatout is your traditional racing portion of the game. Players start off in various backwoods derbies, eventually working up to big-city street races. Along the way, you’ll earn more money by either smashing the most opponents during a race or finishing in the top three. You will use money to buy newer, faster, stronger cars (note: cars will not cost six million dollars), or you can upgrade your existing vehicles in the aptly named Upgrade Shop. Upgrades are plentiful and diverse, so much so that upgrading vehicles occupies a hefty portion of the game and is an aspect that players will want to exploit in order to prevail in the later races.

Flatout and Burnout are pretty much made for exactly the same audience. If you like one you will like the other. It's not a question about which one to get. If you like one of them, you'll want both. At the same time they are very diffrent in their core mechanics.

Flatout 2 goes with an upgraded version of the original. If it's not broke, right? In Flatout 2 you have more vehicles, more racing environments and tracks, a host of extra mini games, multiplayer enhancements, and a longer and better designed career mode. It's everything you would expect out of a well designed sequel, without adding or taking away too much from what made the original popular. Flatout 2 will please their fan base and probably snag a few others.

In the preview build, Flatout was frustrating and half the time, unplayable. The final code is thrilling and polished. Tracks are littered with movable objects, such as logs, barrels, hoardings and so on, all of which can be smashed around and all of which have real weight. The more you crash into things, the more your nitro builds up (activated with a push of the B button), but this is little consolation when you first pick up the game when you pile into a pack of barrels and suddenly get overtaken by everyone else on the track.

Flatout 2 ultimately remains a fun and addictive game which improves on the original yet remains faithful to what made the original popular. With its destructive, albeit a little unforgiving racing that is fast and of course very furious; players should have a fun time with the game, especially as the focus isn’t on the usual high performance racing cars that don’t take much damage from impacts. Flatout 2 should appeal to casual and hardcore racing fans and with its budget price point is well worth a look.

The guys took some sweet pics and share their thoughts on Crysis BF2142, and Flatout 2. At NVIDIA's booth they checked out Enemy Territory Quake Wars and found this quad SLI rig powering Flight Simulator X.
