FlatOut is the most innovative racing game series that has ever appeared on various platforms, and FlatOut 2 is the second game in the series with many dizzying and appealing improvements compared to the previous game. Racing games often have similar gameplay, which is to use the vehicles available in the game to complete the race in the first place. But not for this series, because the player has many goals bigger than reaching the first place. What makes the second game of the series stand out is the ragdoll physics mechanism applied to the driver. Players will not only enjoy a tense atmosphere of the races but will focus on entertainment by hitting the bumps, the environment, and the other riders.
The base gameplay of FlatOut 2 is still an arcade action racing game, and players will participate in bustling races with whatever means they want. The game classifies cars into three categories, namely derby, race, and street, with a variety of features and performance. Players will have more options when choosing vehicles because each track includes a variety of terrain and corner types for players to enjoy. Moreover, compared to its previous game, this time, it had a race track designed in the city environment. Since then, bring many new experiences with attractive features suitable for this environment.
What makes the gameplay of the game stand out is the ragdoll physics element, along with countless mini-games that appear on the track. Players will gain more points if they complete these mini-games, even more than reaching the first place in a short time. The ragdoll physics mechanism will both apply to vehicles and drivers so that players will have more options in colliding with other drivers or the environment. If the player collides with the environment in a direction, the driver will be thrown out of the car, and the camera will automatically follow the driver. Players can control the driver in the air to land on the prescribed position on the track, thereby scoring points thanks to the mini-games. With the advent of the ragdoll mechanism, the gameplay will become more exciting and bustling for players to entertain with friends or other racers on the track.
The innovation in adding the ragdoll feature has made the game change dramatically, making it a complete upgrade compared to its previous game. Players will not only gain access to a large vehicle system but will also enjoy an exciting interactive environment even though it is a racing game itself.
