Flatout: Ultimate Carnage - PC

I am forced to give it at least one star.It deserved, none waited almost 2 weeks before this game.And this is what I got when I try to install the game if I want to send it back, I would have to go a mile from my home for this one game Just for refund not work beware

My family loves this game. We all play together, taking turns driving. The game is simply VERY fun. It may not be the best sim, the hottest cars, the most glamorous settings etc but all together, the sence of humor, action, and mood make it one of the best games I have ever played. I use a logitech g25, and a 101 inch projection screen and this really makes the fast paced action come alive. Runs great in Win 7, and controllers work perfectly. I highy recomend it. I wish they would make a deathtrack like version with guns etc. I think they would do a good job.

You'd never think of driving your car into another car in real life, but in this game, you get _points_ for doing that. And nitro. Bonus! So, you get used to looking for other cars which are vulnerable to a big hit, and you go after them. It's quite satisfying to "blast out" another driver (knock him/her through their windshield). And the more damage you do in the hit, the more points and nitro you get. Sounds violent, but this is about escape. I have a lot of stress in my life right now, and it's a great way to blow off some steam. Game Modes: Flatout Mode and Carnage Mode. Flatout Mode: This is a sequence of increasingly difficult races. Each set of races comprises a "cup". You must win or place highly in multiple races to win the cup and move on. You must win 3rd or better (Bronze) to advance. Each cup you win opens a bonus race--either a Carnage Race (points for winning, passing checkpoints, and damage to other cars), a Demolition Derby (usually a deathmatch--survive as long as you can, and get bonus points for the damage you cause), or Time Trial (reach a time goal on a track--no nitro). When you've passed enough cup levels, you get some big bonus cash and unlock cars. There are three Flatout levels: Derby, Race, and Street. There's also a bonus level which uses all cars. Each level uses faster cars and gets increasingly harder. Nice thing: you don't have to finish a given level to start the next level (e.g., you don't have to finish Derby 100% to start Race, etc.). You have to manage your cash in Flatout Mode to get the best car for your driving style and trick it out to be the fastest and strongest it can be. The mid-level bonus cash coincides with unlocked cars, so it's a nice time to upgrade. You might have to buy a car in order to figure out if it's right for you. It's a bummer that you only get 50% back from the investment if you decide to sell, but at least you can sell it if you need to. Keep in mind that you can do cups and bonus events as many times as you wish in order to build up cash. Carnage Mode: This is more of an arcade mode. You might be familiar with "get this many points and unlock this next event" kinds of games, and this is one of those. You start out with a Carnage Race, a Stunt (using the driver as the projectile!), a Demolition Derby (do as much damage as you can with four lives), and a Beat the Bomb run (go as far as you can and pass as many checkpoints as you can before your car explodes). For each event, you get points. At certain point levels, you open up new events. You then do those, get more points, open other events, etc. This is a nice mode to be in if you only have a few minutes to play (which frequently happens in my house). There are probably (I'm guessing) about 40 or so events. In Carnage Mode, the cars for each event are chosen for you, and so you get a lot of variety. This can be a good thing, but it also means that for each event, you have to learn the quirks of the particular car. They all drive differently. The stunts are really fun and interesting. Many are quite hard, and require some practice to get right. The carnage races are fun, the Beat the Bomb runs are my least favorite (I just do them for the points), and the Demo Derbies are great fun. Stunts are done in a stadium atmosphere with some very European-sounding, incomprehensible blather coming from a PA announcer. Meh. The Demo Derbies at the end get quite hard--the last one is with the smallest, weakest Derby car, which makes scoring points way hard. In addition to the Flatout and Carnage modes, there's also a Single Event mode in which you can pick any event to do. I hate the music and I have it turned off. All in all, a fantastic game that cost me about six clams. I plan to continue playing this one for a long while.

Won't work on modern computers and no support as the company is out of business. Returned for a refund.

This is a decent game for the crash and burn fanatics !! It's fun to play, but it doesn't compare with Split Second, in my opinion. Which I was hoping for a fair comparison between the two. It's still a OK game. After playing this game for a while now, I want to update my review..........This game is fun OK play, but they ruined the game play with way to much debris being thrown into the track, and then the game will crash you, no matter what you do with the controls. So they took a lot of the human control out of the game play. On a 1 to 10 scale, 10 being the best, I now rate this game at a 3. Fun yes, to much effort put into all the debris around the track, which should have been applied to the realism of the game, or better, more realistic car control. After having played this game to the end, I find it to be a complete disappointment. The game is set up so you loose control of the cars for no reason, and it forces you to wreck. There is no human control over the game the farther you get into it. You are playing against a computer game, that is intentionally set up, to keep you from being able to finish the game. I am completely let down by this game..... I now, do not recommend this game.....

So so. The action is fun but the game is hard to navigate & still can't figure out how to load more than 1 profile without going online.

I am receiving an error message when I attempt to run this on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit machine: "Conflict with Emulation Software detected. Please have a look at [...] for further, more detailed information." Anyone else seen this error?

WoW I love this game! If you like car bashing, fast driving fun, and have a decent system...Then buy this now! My 9800 gt/i5 didn't break a sweat on ultimate settings.

Really appreciate a good game.thanks.

Ce jeux est ok

fun game
