Eventually however, I buckled down and got to work and boy did I not realize what I was missing! When I first try a game I like to watch the entire introduction video before pushing start because I feel an intro should get you excited to play and show you what kind of game it is. Flatout did this fantastically as I watched cars crashing left and right and brilliantly detailed explosions occur, granted these were not the in-game graphics, but boy howdy how it got me excited!"
FlatOut's inaugural run on the PSP is just as much of an action-packed, feature-rich event as you'd expect. The fun throw-the-driver-from-the-car minigames are all here, and the developer has kept a lot of the unpredictable crashes and trash-strewn environments.
The graphics are impressive for the handheld console and the pick up and play elements combined with the carnage and mayhem that ensues from the tournament levels is enough to keep you entertained for more than a weekend.
Flatout: Head On is a great pick up and play car game that will have you oh-ing and ah-ing as you crash into yet another obstacle or take out another race competitor.
