FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage Collector's Edition

Flatout UC is just Flatout 2 remastered. Before getting into this franchise, i thought its a "new" game. This confusion would've been easily avoided by calling the game "Flatout 2 UC". I would cautiously say that this game is the best one, but it has a few caveats. I could praise the improvements over Flatout 2, which mostly consist of graphical improvements, some additions like cars and quality of life updates. Most of the stuff underneath is nearly identical to Flatout 2 since its more or less the same game. So, instead of praising the game, ill point out the flaws which make the game rage-inducing at times. Only the last issue is UC exclusive though, 1 and 2 apply to Flatout 2 as well. 1. Rubberbanding. This remaster, Flatout 1 and 2 have crazy AI rubberbanding. You can crash out one of the 2-3 fastest enemies every 15 seconds and they will shoot at mach f*ck from the back of the pack past you or into you and crash you out. Its worse than in old Need for Speed games. 2. This game has a lot of jumps which are fun and give you boost, but the physics often cant handle them well. The car just likes to do whatever - it twitches after landing or crashes and flips in the most hurrendous ways - not in a realistic way, instead in a buggy, annoying way. I had to avoid certain jumps on some maps, because i was pretty much guaranteed to crash out on them. 3. There are so too many physics objects. They slow you down, nudge the car or even crash you out at the worst possible moments. Its incredibly frustrating. The non remastered Flatout 2 had less physics objects, which made the game less chaotic, but more playible. This is the only complaint exclusive to UC. Despite sounding very negative, its a great game and i would highly recommend it. Besides Wreckfest, the modern reincarnation of Flatout and the delisted Dirt Showdown, i cant think of any worthwhile derby racing game.
