You earn every trophy with blood, sweat, tears, and blisters. There is no rubber band AI or throwaway victories in FlatOut 4: Total Insanity.
You’ll quickly learn to know when it’s better to hit Restart than to waste your time trying to finish.
FLATOUT 4 TOTAL INSANITY XBOX ONE X TRIAL
Speaking of trial and error, about halfway through the Derby series you’ll reach a difficulty wall that will have you racing every race anywhere from 10-40 times before you secure that first-place finish. In this game you’ll be racing for your life and if you’re lucky win by a fraction of a second on your 23 rd attempt. In most racing games you reach that point where you zoom out to an early lead and never see the competition. Perhaps the most annoying observation was that even with a fully maxed out car, every other AI racer was always faster than me.

After the first three or four gold cups you will have earned enough cash to fully upgrade your starter car, so there is nothing left to aspire to except to earn enough money for a new car. The big issue I had with FlatOut 4: Total Insanity is that the career mode quickly turned into a grind. Games like Destruction really showcase the game’s fantastic physics engine, and all of these mini-games are super-addictive whether you are playing in competitive couch mode or just trying to climb the leaderboards.

Of course the big party favorite is Stunt mode where you launch your rocket car for a short distance then launch your driver through the windshield as you attempt to steer his flailing body into assorted mini-game targets. Randomly appearing power-ups help with this giving you all sorts of scoring and destruction perks as you try to be the last car running and hit the top of the scoreboard. The Arena is also great fun, relying on your ability to hit the other cars while avoiding getting hit yourself. Time Trial is racing at its purist, and with nitro disabled it is all about knowing the track, its shortcuts, and having a properly upgraded car to hit that gold cup time. Not only is Assault mode unnecessary, it nearly ruins the game. You’ll spend a good portion of these combat races dying in slow motion then dropping into last place while you wait for your car to reset on the track.

For those thinking, “I’ll just use my nitro to boost into first place” that just means you have seven other drivers all gunning for you in races that have not been this unfair since Mario Kart. You have four weapons bomb, shockwave, bollards, wrecking ball, and using any of them consumes a portion of nitro. It is “total insanity” and not in the good way the title may have you hoping for. While this may sound fun believe me it is not. It took nearly another ten hours before I could sample the Classic mode.īreaking it down even further, the Classic mode consists of 16 events including Derby, Time Trial, and Arena (survival) modes, and occasionally the regular racing mode may turn into Assault mode and toss in weapons. To put that in perspective at the 12hr point I had earned a total of $24k and spent half that to fully upgrade my starter car. Your starting cash allows you access to the Derby and you’ll need to earn at least $30k to enter Classic, and $57k for All-Star. There is so much to do from the opening menu it might be hard to settle in for the 60+ hour career mode that starts with three options Derby, Classic, and All-Star modes, each requiring a certain class of car. Stunt is the party game mode where you launch your driver in crazy games of Cup Pong, High Jump, and Destruction a big hit with Angry Birds fans.
These events include Deathmatch, Beat the Bomb, Carnage, and Stunt. FlatOut is an extensive mode consisting of 42 events all locked with a point gate system, so you have to earn points in earlier events to unlock later ones. Quick Race offers racing, arena, and stunt options. From the opening menu you are given several options including the massive career mode, FlatOut mode, Quick Race, and Multiplayer which can be either online or local hot seat. Let’s start with content…oh so much content, but sadly most of it is locked through progression gates so unless you are super-patient and diligent you likely won’t experience it all. The good news is that all of that is back in FlatOut 4: Total Insanity, but somehow this just isn’t as fun as I remembered. Past FlatOut games offered all that redneck racing action along with demolition derby arenas and everyone’s guilty pleasure the Stunt mode, where you would launch your ragdoll driver in a series of addictive mini-games. I love racing games and I love spectacular crashes, so it’s no surprise that Burnout and FlatOut are two of my favorite franchises, and I was tremendously excited when I heard a new FlatOut game was coming.
