Hell, if there was more scenery or background animations going on it wouldn’t be too bad, but there isn’t. As soon as you take off from the starting line you are pushed and shoved and thrown off the road quicker than you can say a few nasty syllables and then you need to reset with the click of a button and respawn on the track, now the cars are already miles ahead and your left trying to catch up for three entire boring laps. I was up against another 11 vehicles all ranging from small cars to huge courier trucks. My first race was in a farmland area with machinery and barns to pile-drive through and later we are given an Industrial area with machinery and huts to pile-drive into, it’s not the only unimaginative design flaws on show here. My Buggyįinally, after I did get into some career mode racing I chose a cheap and nasty Derby Beetle, as it was one of only two options you’re given to start with. If you get any points they’re not earned they appear after accidentally tripping over a flawed mechanic. I had to gain some points so I could get myself to the main menu and start a bloody race. This sounds like fun, right? (it took me back for a few second to the brilliant PAIN game for the PlayStation 3), but after trying the same hill and the same stunt more than six times, the fact I couldn’t even land my character on a single target was infuriating.
FLATOUT 4 REVIEWS DRIVER
For example in the aforementioned forced mini games you have to drive your vehicle from the summit of a hill straight down and hit the brake followed by another button which then throws the driver out the window all while trying to aim for a bunch of beer pong cups for the character to land in.
FLATOUT 4 REVIEWS FULL
But here, it not only feels cheap and dated for a full priced retail release, it just doesn’t work. It even felt like a good party gag to mess around with on a night in with your mates. It may have worked in the past few titles (besides the mediocre FlatOut 3). The objective for these games is the ability to crash your car and have the driver fly out the front of the windscreen with the over-the-top ragdoll physics to hit specific targets for points. I understand its intention of showing you modes you may not even think about getting into at a later date, but don’t force it upon someone. This threw me off straight away because I was ready to get into some real crazy racing. From what I could see, you don’t even have a choice in the matter either, you play them or you don’t get access to the main menu. Oh Look Another Ball Breakerįrom the start of FlatOut 4 however, unlike most of the racing genre titles where you are taken to the main menu and given a variety of career, multiplayer or co-op, FO4 starts by throwing you straight into six random mini games from its ‘FlatOut Mode’. It has always been the little sister and hasn’t had the steadiest past, but it’s always been a strong alternative to the major racing releases.
FLATOUT 4 REVIEWS SERIES
FlatOut 4 is an arcade style racing game occasionally reminding us all of the awesome Burnout series from the past generation of consoles. Maybe I am jumping the gun a little? Let us start from the beginning. Who doesn’t love a crash-centric arcade racer? Throw in every physics-based toy you can think of, from ragdolls to realistic vehicle damage, with a difficulty curve that could generously be described as “mean-spirited” and you’ve got the recipe for FlatOut 4.
