Flatout ultimate carnage gameplay update#

These updated visuals help to accentuate what FlatOut's gameplay is all about. By the end of most races, you will barely be able to avoid the previous laps' shrapnel on the track. The cars aren't the only things in FlatOut that are destructible almost everything in the game can be collided with and turned into a healthy amount of debris.

When impacted, which doesn't take long, the vehicles will show extremely realistic and accurate damage. The lighting effects are also incredibly impressive, especially when reflecting off of the game's beautiful water and many vehicles. All of the game's environments look stunning, almost diverting your focus away from the races. While the same can't be said about Ultimate Carnage on the Xbox 360, it does a great job of improving upon the original's graphics, making them almost seem terrible by comparison. When FlatOut 2 was released for the original Xbox, it had some of the most impressive graphics seen on the system. But unlike numerous previously updated games, there are actually a decent amount of other improvements as well.

As one would expect, the Xbox 360 update has revamped the game's graphics. But instead of this being a true sequel, FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage is basically FlatOut 2.5.

As a long-time fan of the FlatOut series on the last-generation consoles, I was really excited about the release of a current-generation iteration.
