    Anyone who's ever laughed with glee at taking down a rival racer in a game of Burnout should be all over it.

    It's a game with a huge sense of fun, it knows what gamers want and isn't ashamed to deliver it in spades. Its unforgiving elastic band AI and relatively steep learning curve may put some people off but they'll be missing out on one of the most enjoyable racers around and should be taunted accordingly.

    Ultimate Carnage is a generous package that can be highly entertaining. But it's a pity that it fails to apply a comprehensive design overhaul to FlatOut's robust engine. [Aug 2007, p.91]

    An underrated classic. Good graphics, great physics. The party games are insanely addictive and the core racing is solid too. An exceptional addition to the racing genre.… Expand

    I was not impressed at all. I think the game was flat-out boring. Rent it first before wasting your money.

    If you've played FO2, you don't need FO2:UC. And why Bugbear go with Games for Window? Better play FlatOut1, FlatOut2, or FlatOut3. Or FlatOut Wii. Or FlatOut PSP. But not FlatOut2: Ultimate Carnage!… Expand
