![]() This does put a bit of a damper on strategy when trying to place first overall. The games features sort of put it in an awkward position because most of the perks you receive, such as nitrous, are more quickly earned when hitting other vehicles. I will mention that, funnily enough, the game became most entertaining for me when I wasn’t winning. Basically, the core of FlatOut 4 is that you’re here for the destruction, to smash cars and see pieces of debris flying around the course as you realise that fence you just ran through wasn’t going to stop you, so now here comes Mr. This is presumably to vent any form of frustration that is accumulated by racers trying to eliminate you as well. Don’t get me wrong, you still have to win the race, but while racing you can also eliminate other drivers and destroy large portions of the environment as well. ![]() With that being said, the game does differentiate just enough of the gameplay to not have it fall into an endless rut of “win the race, go to next series”. In terms of actually racing though, FlatOut 4 is more of the same niches that racing titles offer overall. Stunts and other modes are unlocked by gaining points in the aforementioned challenges which, thus, leads to crazier and hectic-er modes… yes, hectic-er. Both of these are achieved by launching yourself out of your car at high speeds which, in a very cathartic way, really never stops being humorous. Especially considering that the types of stunts available include car beer pong and a variation on the high jump. The stunts that the player is presented with are, not only entertaining, but weirdly engaging. Modes such as arena battle, career mode, time trial, destruct-a-thons, and my personal favourite, stunts. The amount of content in-game is absolutely nuts, with a large selection of modes and vehicles to choose and use. Fans of the FlatOut series will not be disappointed with the latest installment and the features that it offers. So where does FlatOut 4 fall on the spectrum of high octane? Quite high I’m happy to say. Racers such as Burnout Paradise, Need for Speed and, of course, FlatOut. One such formula are the high octane, action racers that have been a standard of the genre for quite some time. However, when one departs from the classic race to the finish first formula, there’s an incredibly wide variety of different titles to choose from. You have the usual suspects of Forza, Gran Truismo and, to a lesser degree, the Nascar series. The world of racing games is an interesting one to say the least. Everything is easier in free mode: choose one of the open cars or yours, on which you will conquer a career and compete on the selected map.// Reviews // 3rd Apr 2017 - 6 years ago // By Ethan Butterfield FlatOut 4: Total Insanity Review It’s your job to be the first in the race, but the game will handle the repair somehow. Held for amateurs and simple races with atypical destruction of the entire structure. The game accounts for everything, albeit at a high difficulty level. For example, earlier in the third part you could go back to the garage and see that it doesn’t take much money to fix it Now, in order to race again, you need to spend money to repair the engine, bumper, left fender and seat. The basis of the changes for the fourth part is the physics of cars and damage. In the garage you can change your car or buy a new one. We are offered the standard: engine, wheels, tires, gearbox, braking system and nitromethane accelerator. It is better to immediately pump your car to the maximum so that later you do not look for reasons for losing. The reward for the races is standard – money and open parts for the car. The latter, by the way, reminds the player of the origins: where it actually came from FlatOut 4: Total madness. In the game you will find four modes for racing: Career, Freeride, Multiplayer and FlatOut. In the last, fourth project of the series, the developers added several new cars, an improved pumping system for your car, and a network mode without lags and errors. Arcade racing simulator with updated graphics and slightly improved gameplay from the third part.
