Eleven other drivers are on the track with you, and each of them seems to have an anger management problem – they’ll always dish out punishment as you give it to them, which makes for action-packed races that can change in an instant. Thankfully, the racing is mostly enjoyable when you’ve at least got a little used to the temperamental controls.
FLATOUT 4 TRACK LIST PC
It’s difficult to control your car at certain points and you’ll be ready to destroy your PC after another race is lost thanks to the games erratic car control rather than your own lack of racing skill. The car seems to respond a second after you’ve pressed a key, with the handling feeling sluggish and loose.

Other commands refer to other buttons on the Xbox joypad rather than the corresponding keyboard buttons. Try using the menus to see what I mean: instead of pressing Enter to go forward and Escape to go back, as you usually do, Ultimate Carnage constantly instructs you to press the A and B buttons. It’s a shame, then, that the PC version of FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage is such a lazy conversion of the Xbox 360 original that was released in the last quarter of 2007.
