Perhaps the biggest reason why I was so interested in this game, at first, were the mini-games. The mini-games have you launching your car driver out the front windshield, and aiming his flying body at some sort of object. They’re just as fun to play, as they are to watch.
The mini-games range from sports such as Baseball, Soccer, and Bowling, to other games such as Stone-Skipping, High Jump, and Ring of Fire. Words cannot describe how insanely ridiculous these games look. The mini-games are what really make this title a solid party game.
The soundtrack isn’t for me…I’m not exactly sure how many times someone can listen to Rob Zombie and Alkaline Trio without getting sick. The track list lacks variety. To me, it all sounds the same. It’s all licensed hard rock and emo music, which I’m not too fond of. The soundtrack only has 26 tracks on it, and most of the artists of the track list have more than one song featured. The soundtrack for me wasn’t notable at all.
FlatOut 2 is just plain fun. Although there are a few A.I. and driving problems, the game manages to be fun and addicting enough that you can easily forget all about these issues. The amount of graphical detail put into FlatOut 2 are superb, the mini-games are insane, and the overall grip that this game will give you is enough to make you busy for a long while. I guarantee that most everyone will have fun playing this game.
FlatOut 2 is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB for Mild Lyrics, Violence. This game can also be found on: PS2, PC.
