FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage

Ultimate Carnage makes excellent use of what the Xbox 360 has to offer including fantastic online play and superb graphics. If you like console racers and destroying cars and scenery, this title is worth a look. The fact that this game was released as a $50 bargain title, and has strong replay value, makes it a no-brainer.

For those who missed out on FlatOut 2 for the original Xbox, FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage for the Xbox 360 is a wonderful upgraded port that not only looks great but handles beautifully as well.

It's fun as hell. looks great, and might have the most visceral destruction-derby gameplay since those old "Destruction Derby" PS1 games from Reflections. [Nov 2007, p.111]

With a bit more refinemente this could have been superb. Instead, it's very good. [Sept 2007, p.68]

While this is one of the best last-generation updates yet on the Xbox 360, I can't help but feel a little cheated. With all of the upgrades in graphics, gameplay, and play modes, I don't understand why the core of this game remained FlatOut 2.

All in all then, it's almost there, but not quite: a good game, a good edition to the genre and a sound purchase - especially for driving game fans, but not an essential one quite yet.

Undeniably fun. It’s also incredibly derivative and still, after three tries, flawed.

My favorite racer and I've played a lot. If you like fun, non-anal racers a lot like burnout with amazing graphics and great offline mp this is for you. Single player is massive with lots of game modes. My son loves the party mode of flying the driver out of the window. Will be interested to see how Dirt showdown compares.

This game is good, I'll give it that. It's basically an expansion pack for FlatOut 2. The only reason why this game can't have a 9/10, is because LAN mode, for some reason, doesn't work properly.

Absolutely crappy remake. It's more demake, than re-. - Broken physics - 12 racers (instead of 8 in FO2) => more chaos and less fun - Color palette get cold (instead of warm color in FO2) - AI still loves cheating - Tracks have loss lot of details that can be interacted with

Un jeu développé avec deux balles et un Mars, tout est médiocre ou nul hormis le mode Destruction Derby, mode cependant en net retrait de ce bon vieux Destruction Derby ou même du pathétique Dirt Showdown, c'est dire l'étendue de la médiocrité qui se dresse devant nos yeux. Assez vilain le jeu (mais on a vu pire ?) y compris au niveau des menus et de la présentation générale, débile également avec des modes de jeu affligeants (le bowling avec des bagnoles par exemple...). Rien à sauver, même pas la musique (un rock d'ados golios) ni les effets sonores, pas folichons, ni la pseudo-conduite qui n'offre aucune sensation du tout. Putain la poubelle a faim !

If you've played FO2, you don't need FO2:UC. And why Bugbear go with Games for Window? Better play FlatOut1, FlatOut2, or FlatOut3. Or FlatOut Wii. Or FlatOut PSP. But not FlatOut2: Ultimate Carnage!
