It doesn’t ascend to the stunning level of Race Driver: GRID, but it’s excellent nonetheless: the tracks are packed with detail – as well as cars – and there’s nary a hint of slowdown as you bring down hundreds of obstacles around you. Graphically, FlatOut is a great looking game. The game also keeps the AI drivers bunched vaguely together, so a few bad crashes won’t end your race – there’s always a chance for redemption. Whacking other drivers – different types of hit earns different amounts of boost and varying sums of cash – as well as bringing down scenery gives you nitro, so it’s easy enough to make up for lost group. There’s also a fair amount of boost available as you hurtle around the circuits, and almost everything you do earns it. Most of the track decoration that liberally litters the varied and interesting circuits is also destructible, which makes for thrilling racing as you barrel through villages and buildings, bringing them down around you. Eleven other drivers are on the track with you, and each of them seems to have an anger management problem – they’ll always dish out punishment as you give it to them, which makes for action-packed races that can change in an instant. Thankfully, the racing is mostly enjoyable when you’ve at least got a little used to the temperamental controls. It’s difficult to control your car at certain points and you’ll be ready to destroy your PC after another race is lost thanks to the games erratic car control rather than your own lack of racing skill. The car seems to respond a second after you’ve pressed a key, with the handling feeling sluggish and loose. While it’s crucial to maintain control of your car as you’re rampaging across the circuits, it’s often very difficult to do this. The racing itself is decent, but suffers from the same problems that previous incarnations of FlatOut – and even the PSP version – have been afflicted by. While they’re undoubtedly fun, their appeal is pretty limited, and you’ll be glad that they’re short diversions and nothing more. The minigames themselves appear both in this mode and as extra events in FlatOut mode and provide a (mostly) welcome distraction from the racing, as they generally tend to involve flinging your driver through your windscreen at a diverse range of targets.
