And of course, no Xbox 360 game review would be complete without mentioning the Xbox Live game play. All game types and stunts are available for maximum online bang for buck, not to mention obligatory leaderboards for each race course. Online play is quick to start, easy to navigate, lag free and really, REALLY good fun. There’s nothing quite like side swiping a human player and hearing him sigh with disappointment as he drops from first to last place while his car tumbles into the void.
Overall, there’s nothing in this game that I can fault. It does what it was designed to do, and it does it well. Even if you owned Flatout 2, there’s enough extra content in this package to make it worth the entry fee. Flatout: Ultimate Carnage deserves to be in everyone’s collection, not just the racing aficionados. It’s pure adrenaline fueled fun with a destructible twist that’s impossible not to love.
Flatout: Ultimate Carnage is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB for Mild Lyrics and Violence, and 12+ by the PEGI because the game contains depictions of violence.
