Game Review : Flatout 2

I thought the first Flatout game was alot better than alot of reviewers did. I mean yeah you had to mod the hell out of it to get it to play good over the internet. Flatout 1 didn't even come with online play included. Some genius homegrown programmers came up with a little utility that would allow you to play online. Then a bunch of guys came up a bunch of mods that allowed you to race tracks different directions, use new cars, and play demolition derby online in any track we wanted. Imagine a huge ice rink with 8 cars running around and slamming into each other at 100mph. Great fun! The game makers would have gotten alot more kudos if they had included all of this stuff in the game themselves. They saw what people did with the original game and how much better it was after people modified it. They took this all into account and put it all in Flatout 2. You have online multiplayer gaming. You can even do the stunt mode online with your friends. You have racing on all of a bunch of great tracks. You have dirt tracks, city tracks, race tracks, woodland tracks...some other tracks. You have tons of cars you can choose from to drive. You can take a school bus or a semi truck into a demolition derby arena and crunch the hell out of other cars. Check out this video. I recorded it in fraps. I'm in a shoving match with a guy in an SUV then suddenly someone comes full bore from the left and takes him out. hahaha!
Demolition Derby is by far my favorite part of this game. The hits are great. The damage models in this game kick ass. Plus, I usually win. That's what makes it fun...hehe
