Besides the racing, FlatOut displays the same sick humour as the original in its mini-games. This time around, the twisted minds at Bugbear have come up with an impressive total of 12 mini-games, in which you compete by making your driver exit the car through the windscreen. The games on offer vary from high jump through curling to baseball, and although everyone's bound to have their own favourites, stone skipping's a particularly ingenious example of just what fun can be had when you combine a body and some ragdoll physics.
It's all a bit trickier than last time on this front though, meaning that it'll take some practice before you even have a clue what you're doing, let alone nail down the technique. Although this is no doubt intended to add longevity, not everyone's going to have the patience to get through the initial learning curve.
In short then, despite the inherent fun of the game, the racing starts to lose its appeal after a while; the main reason you'll still be playing this in six months time will be to challenge a group of mates to a driverflinging competition in the excellent party mode. The larger number of tracks, cars and mini-games feel like only relatively minor improvements over the original and the whole thing ends up feeling like more of an expansion than the next evolution.
Hardly a bad thing considering the original's success, but maybe notquite the smash hit that we'd hoped for. If There Was ever a game that evoked the bygone spirit of Destruction Derby , then it's FlatOut 2 - the only game to accurately model real drivers flying through real windscreens with perhaps an ounce of gravitational artistic licence.
With AI far improved on the original's fastidious circuit-makers and what amounts to an extra number of physics items that equals the number of tennis balls memorably driven into and made to bounce around in largely forgotten early-'90s family comedy Problem Child, then we've clearly got something to look forward to.
Here's a picture of some cars crashing. Note how one car has rammed into another, and how it's all been a bit mangled. We're writing about a sodding car game again. How do we do this week in and week out? It's like Chinese feckin' water torture this. Man, how many times can you write about someone getting flung through a windscreen? Sometimes you just feel like ending it all don't you? What would god do in this situation? And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented for five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. You Know Those adverts where it looks like the men are sitting in the pub having a nice pint of lager? And then it turns out, through some twist of metaphor, that they're not in the pub after all - or rather they are, but they just hit a woman who just stepped in front of their table without looking both ways , and now she's dead with her arm pointing the wrong way?
If you saw that advert and thought, 'I wonder how far she'd have gone if that table was going ten times faster', then stop. First, you need to work on your empathy; second, you probably loved the original FlatOut.
Unsurprisingly in FlatOut 2, developer Bugbear has been upping the destruction quotient - where once there were a mere 3, objects to muck up, twat about and smash to bits per level, now there are 5, That means there are 67 per cent more things to drive into - as an important statistic, that belongs up there with 'over half of the last 10 per cent of a can of Coke is your own saliva'.
The AI has been improved, too -now, instead of all the non-player cars following the same standard routes, there'll be seven distinct AI drivers to worry about - and all with different personalities and characteristics. If my experience is anything to go by, this will amount to an aggressive Texan guy who goes fast and laughs, a German who takes corners efficiently, a sassy girl in short shorts who playfully drives into your arse, an Englishman who always loses, and Want more?
