Flatout: Ultimate Carnage Review (Xbox 360)
July 24th, 2007
There’s definitely no shortage of arcade racing games available these days, and with everyone still reeling from E3 information overload, and a refreshed appetite for a number of hugely anticipated blockbusters, we’d forgive you for not having noticed Flatout: Ultimate Carnage - the official underdog of the Xbox 360’s 2007 line-up.
It’s an unfortunately timed release - the European release hit stores just a week after the much-anticipated Forza Motorsport 2, and the upcoming North American release on October 2 puts the title in competition with Halo 3 and GTA IV among others. Australia gets their taste a little earlier on August 1, but they’ll almost certainly be too busy trading Pokemon to notice, or care.
We’ve had our hands on a final build for a few weeks now, and can safely say if you’re looking for an arcade racer that doesn’t feel as fake as Ridge Racer and Colin McRae: DiRT, Flatout: Ultimate Carnage could be your thing. Full review after the jump.
