Some objects such as telephone poles and massive propane tanks can be knocked aside with deceptive ease, while other objects that seem much lighter in appearance, such as certain fences, bring the player to a crashing halt. There are so many ways to gain nitro, yet some track areas are intentionally left bare, leaving the player to wonder, Should I use my nitro, or see what's around the next turn? A cautionary mention should be made to players who think they can simply plow through anything and everything to gain nitro-this is not the case.
FLATOUT ULTIMATE CARNAGE PC IGN DRIVERS
Plow through fences smash through a mall food court, leaving store displays and tables in utter devastation skid through stacks of tires that spill out onto the road, tripping up competing drivers collide with a gas pump and set off a massive explosion. Because of the Xbox 360's better graphics capabilities, more destructible objects are present on all of the game's tracks. Nitro, fuel given to players for performing stunts and hitting debris, is somewhat easier to gain in Ultimate Carnage than it was in FlatOut 2. as are the environments and minute details. This is a high point, because as mentioned, players will have to think more about what they want to do: Use nitro now or wait until I can hit a high jump and get even more nitro? Overtake the guy in front of me, or wait until I can ram him into the building near an upcoming turn and earn money for doing so. Ultimate Carnage tends to rely on longer tracks that, although typically three to four laps in duration, result in racing sessions of close to five or six minutes, which is definitely atypical of the pure arcade genre. Most arcade racers such as Burnout feature tracks that are relatively short in length, emphasizing speed and stunts rather than a back and forth battle that sees players constantly moving up and down in placement rankings. Also in the vein of a simulation racer are the track lengths and types.
FLATOUT ULTIMATE CARNAGE PC IGN UPGRADE
While cars can get smashed up and perform outrageous stunts the likes of which are rarely seen in simulation games, but each car features very tight controls that require players to exercise precision and timing to win cups, which results in more money to upgrade and purchase vehicles. This is due to Ultimate Carnage being more of an arcade/simulation hybrid. FlatOut Mode, in which a player starts racing with scrap cars and eventually moves up to race and street cars, is still a blast to play and features a bit more strategy than most arcade racing games. Everything still moved at a rapid pace, and I certainly wouldn't go back and say that playing Ultimate Carnage rendered FlatOut 2 unplayable, but aesthetically, the old version is almost painful to watch. FlatOut 2's graphics were grainy, distorted, and contained startling amounts of pop-up. In preparation for this review, I loaded the original FallOut 2 for a last-gen-vs-current-gen comparison, and the results were staggering.
Scenery is less jaggy and more defined, cars are smoother and feature more detail, and some of the rural areas-especially farmland tracks-are simply gorgeous, featuring beautiful fall colors and sunsets that almost-almost!-made me want to screech to a halt and stare. Immediately noticeable is the marked improvement of Ultimate Carnage's visuals. Car detail is much improved over the Xbox original.
