The main goal of the whole FlatOut franchise is taking out your opponents in the most violent way possible, trashing each others cars till they explode: which makes FlatOut one of the most violent racing series on the market. The most obvious gamemode for rewarding, agressive racing behaviour is the old Destruction Derby mode but at Team6, we felt that this agressive 'violence factor' was missing in the old destruction derby gamemode from the previous FlatOut: and therefore we thought of new ideas to make this gamemode more fun and violent!
In the new FlatOut, the 'Battle Arena' is situated in an immense, interactive battle arena with a dark, post apocalyptic vibe. Inspired by the gladiators in ancient Rome, this is the perfect location to destroy your opponents with fun and ease. In previous FlatOut series some people may have found it frustrating to find an opponent and try to collide with him before he was out of sight: but the new Destruction Derby is one big deathtrap with loads of features to make it easier and more fun to blow your opponents car into tiny pieces!
There's only one way to repair your car in Battle Arena: you have to pick up a newly introduced 'Repair Bonus'. The catch is, these repair bonusses are often in a narrow, dangerous alley or nearby a deathtrap, making you an easy and especially fun target for all other contenders.
Details on four game modes:
"Racing": The standard FlatOut concept: Race, destroy and either finish first, or make sure you're the last one standing (or: driving). Violent, agressive racing will take place in various locations and themes, such as the financial district, the industrial port and a dusty and an old but atmospheric town somewhere in southern-europe. Gamemode also available in splitscreen mode.
"Trash" : An addictive, violent, Wii-targeted game mode for what's the whole Flatout franchise about: Breaking stuff!
Use a weapon of choice (baseball bat, crowbar, lead pipe, amongst others) to totally trash the car of your opponent. Once trashed, he doesn't want this car anymore and it's all yours! New vehicle unlocked!
By controlling the Wii-mote you can do as much damage as you like, until the time runs out. The more damage you do, the more score you earn: you can't believe how much fun this is!
"Arena": Taking 'destruction derby' to a whole new level! Forgot those simple, circle shaped, muddy circuits where cars smash each other till they explode: This new Arena is a true deathtrap! This arena, fully made of steel, concrete and asphalt, is equipped with amazing ramps, loopings and countless violent boobytraps in the floor- and wall panels. Prepare to meet traps like "Flamethrower Street", "Hole in One: Spike Pit", "1000 Ton Steel Ball", "Melting Pit" and "the 1000 Volt Fence" ! Gamemode also available in Splitscreen mode: Try to lure your friends in every each trap possible!
"Stuntman" : The best mode of the classic FlatOut, now revived and more fresh than ever! Accelerate till you can't go faster, and once arrived in the Zone: automatically enter slow-motion mode and use the very intuitive Wii controls to take the best angle for using the ramps with your car. Once airborne, Eject the driver through the windshield at exactly the right time, resulting in (hopefully) the best score ! The more bones you break, the more score you'll earn!
