Aztaro Reviews Flatout Ultimate Carnage

Title: Flatout Ultimate Carnage
Platform: Playstation Portable, Xbox 360, PC
Genre: Racing, Demolition Derby
Online Interactions: Download, multiplayer race, leader boards and rankings

You're a new racer who thinks they have what it takes to be the best. The person who thinks they can take on some of the best like Jack Benton, Frank Malcov and others. But it isn't that easy, you must work your way up from the smoldering heap of car parts and destructible environment. It starts with a choice, Light and fast, heavy and slow or the medium.

If you like racing or anything about destruction and HAVEN'T heard about Flatout, you been living under a rock of sadness. This game is one that made HUGE memories in my childhood, a racing game with realistic damage AND interactive [mostly destroyable] environments? That's something that sticks with you for quite some time. This game when I saw it on sale, only brought back memories of 1 and 2, I spent HOURS playing this game, wasted a lot of weekends just to get the fastest car and then having friends over. We didn't even race half the time, we would start out racing then see who can fly the farthest or even do the most rolls. Getting back on track, this game has from tuners to muscle cars and trucks to SUV's so you can find your racing style. You can either be fast and win the races or you can imply the "rubbing is racing" rule with a 3 ton SUV going about 100 miles and hour to the face of an opponent. Or if you like, mix both styles! This game has races, demolition derbys, time trials and a bunch of mini games ranging from human windshield bowling to race the check points before your vehicle explodes! Even if you aren't a racing fan, this is a game to play with friends, it's fun, it's pretty and overall can make some lasting memories.

Rating: 95/100

Reason: Fun, fast, destructive and addicting. But I still have to be fair and review the game, everything in the game is basically flawless from menu navigation to racing but there's really no story, it's not like it's a problem but there's no story. It's just a character bio during loading screens that you cannot read without a camera or screenshot, other than that, great game, GET IT!
