Blending high-speed races and dynamic crashes along
with a cinematic story line, FlatOut comes to the PC with a number of features
designed to set it apart from previous racing titles. Players can leave their
car before entering a race to check out the competition at the pit areas, glean
some information at the local bar, perform tune-ups, and embark on brief missions
to further the story. The heart of the game is the racing competition, where
players hit the pedal to the metal on a variety of outdoor venues. The environment
is also interactive, to the point where cars can smash through wooden barriers,
send piles of stacked tires bouncing along the road, and knock orange cones flying
into the distance. A number of jumps are also available, to catch some air.
Real-time damage modeling is another highlight in FlatOut, with details such as
engines, transmissions, and the driver viewable after smashing, crashing, and
bashing into rival vehicles. Each part is designed to dent, crumple, crack, or
fly off, and parts hurtling through the air can damage other vehicles as well.
A total of 16 cars are available to drive, each with varied handling and
characteristics based on their real-life counterparts. Up to eight vehicles can
compete simultaneously on one of 45 courses, and players have the option to either
repair or purchase new cars in between each race. Multiplayer options support
split-screen and linked play as well as Internet competition.
