Got this from the wonderful shopto.net people today at a bargain 27.99
I've not played FlatOut since the 1st one, totally ignoring the second one i decided to make this my 2nd racer on the 360. First being burnout revenge. ( i dont count PGR3 as I didnt like it)
This game looks great, first off (I'm playing in HD 720p). They really have taken care to ensure that next gen graphics are here, lovely. The car models are nice, the utterly destroyable enviroments are immense and the lighting is nice.
Just played a few single player cups and found the AI to give you right run for your money straight away, no messing. Coming first in the 1st cup and 3rd in the second cup i was pleasently surprised to see that I qualified. Nice sense of treating the player well.
After doing the first level 1 cups, I unlocked a time trial and destruction derby event. Now we're talking. After earning alot of credits, which are earned via winning and earning awards in game ie best wrecker of other cars.. boost master etc. A really nice touch, if you don't win, you're still rewarded with some credits and you don't feel it to be a chore if you do it again with a better tuned up car.
I tweaked my car using the upgrade shop and rolled into D Derby. I got served. It's not just all about Last Man Standing. It's about smashing people up for points. Don't smash anyone? your time runs out and you're eliminated. Great touch.
Gonna keep playing tonight, but so far a great purchase and i've not even touched Xbox Live or the crazy mini games which FlatOut is famous for.
