Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball Max'd Requires Mod: To enable LAN play some games either require a modded console (aka CFW) or a modified version of the game. Same Version: Some games only work if everyone has the same game update/version/DLC packages. Most online enabled games with additional system-link / LAN support will support a headset in system-link play, but not always. Headset: This refers to a voice chat headset and whether you can use it in the system-link section of the game. Low = 64 to 128kbps upload bandwidth recommended on a broadband connection. High = 128 to 256kbps upload bandwidth recommended on a broadband connection. For example, don't expect to host a 16 player game of Halo for the Xbox on a 128kbps upload connection. This means that connections between players need to be faster, response times (pings) need to be lower and upload bandwidth needs to be as high as possible for whoever hosts the game. There is nothing that XLink Kai can do to overcome this, as it lies with the developers of the game to allow cross-region compatibility.īandwidth: Some games (usually First Person Shooters) send out a lot of network traffic in large chunks. Some games cannot be played between PAL and NTSC users, thus reducing PAL users to play PAL users and NTSC users to play NTSC users. PAL - NTSC: Around the world, there are 2 main video regions referred to as PAL and NTSC. 4.1 Xbox Series X - Original Xbox backwards compatibility.3.1 Xbox One - Original Xbox backwards compatibility.2.1 Xbox 360 - Original Xbox backwards compatibility.Graphics: 9.5 Sound: 9 Gameplay: 10 Creativity: 9 Replay Value/Game Length: 9 Final: 9. The game is long in the first place, but still would have a great replay value. It would be great to play again, because I can always just knock up the difficulty. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the game and it definitely gave me some laughs and fun times. Even better, it doesn’t end the race just hit the reset button to keep going! Another thing I adored about the game was the ability to smash up almost anything on the tracks, and isn’t that what we all want to do really? Hit an obstacle too fast and your driver will fly out the windscreen. The game has lots of new ideas for driving games that are all great additions. Or there are always 6 destruction bowls and dirt tracks if you just fancy letting out some anger. These include long jump and high jump, where the car is accelerated and stopped so that the ‘rag-doll’ driver flies out of the windscreen. Don’t worry if you don’t know much about cars as everything is explained.Īs well as the 36 main tracks, there are also 6 mini games. Whether it’s a new exhaust or drive train. At the end of each race, you can tune your car just how you like it. You start with 4, if you come between 1st and 3rd, then another is unlocked, and so on. So it’s all about balance.Īll tracks are un-lockable. But you get more cash for destroying things. Cars will ‘degrade’ as they are hit and as a result steering will become harder and acceleration won’t be as fast. The game has 36 different tracks – and almost any piece of scenery on the track can be destroyed. It all helps get the adrenaline going and the action pumping. However, even though I don’t tend to generally listen to those genres, it definitely suited the game and I was quite happy to listen to it whilst racing. Most are rock/metal, so obviously not everyone will like it. The games’ sound is made up of many songs. It’s a very pleasing game to look at and I didn’t come across any errors in the graphics. The cars as well as the surroundings are detailed and have clearly had lots of time spent on them. They don’t slow the game down, and everything animates excellently. They are very crisp and everything is clear. 3.2.1.and I was off! What I got was way more than what I expected. I chose my car and went to the first race. I created my profile so that all of my additions and tuning to the car could be saved to me (obviously there is room for many profiles – up to 7). I installed FlatOut and got myself revved up and ready to play. Although the game is not 100% original, it combines lots of elements from past and present games and brings them into one well presented game. Of course, I’m British, so for a change to get a game before Americans is always a pleasant feeling. I was lucky enough to receive a copy of FlatOut for review before it’s released in the US.
