FLASHOUT 2

This game despite being heavily inspired by the wipeout series is nothing but a bland and boring anti-gravity racing games. [b]Pros[/b] -Decently long career mode with amazing character art styles that have voice acting. -Low Minimum Storage Required -A Decent handling -Upgrading Mechanics which is easy and simple to maximize your ships. -Good Visuals -Contains 10 Tracks named after cities -Good amount of weapons selections -Controller Support -Very cheap during sales [b]Cons[/b] -Very boring Gameplay -Overly-Saturated Cutscenes which doesn't fit the game at all. -Untouched port with little to no changes -Despite having a tutorial, the game doesn't tell you or show you any button configs leaving you to figure out on your own -Rubberbanding AIs which are impossible to pass through in some game modes. -Steam Achievements which doesn't get unlocked until you close the game -Confusing menus which took me a while to understand -You have to use specific buttons for each powerups individually which makes it very difficult to memorize which button to use. -Grindy Career mode in which you have to do the previous cups for coins to progress. -Its almost impossible to tell the difference…

4/10 It don't hold up all to well as it should, not as fun as i'd like it to have been.

Surprisingly good sense of speed. Skill is optional - no airbrakes and 99% of the success relies on the upgrades, so get ready to grind. Basically, a very casual retelling of Wipeout with an occasional banger in the soundtrack (big thumbs up for "When We Sleep" and even bigger thumbs down for wiping all the trace of it from the face of the Internet)

Oh dear....what is this? I am just going to flat out say this: even for free, you don't want this. You might get 3 minutes of play out of it...but don't expect anymore than that.

Game is a great upgrade from the first in audio and visual presentation. Though, if you plan on using a controller, I can't recommend as the controller support simply not functioning properly on my end, which is my preferred way to play. The game presents a controller scheme, but a few key inputs don't register which makes switching to mouse and keyboard just to navigate menus or use the boost mechanic a hassle.
