Devil May Cry 4 takes place between the events from the first and the second game in the series, and is in my opinion at the peak of the action genre, getting really close to an actual RPG complexity in many ways: a deep story arch, multi-faceted characters and the numerous skill upgrades and items that can be purchased throughout the game.
That said, it's not a RPG yet, so hack and slash fans will be pleased to know they can still fight thousand of mindless Scarecrow Demons per game scene. In fact, you get marks for killing them, starting from D, to C, B, A and S being the highest. You are graded on your combat style, based on how varied and cool looking your combos are (if you get touched, it's back to D for you); you receive a grade for how fast you can complete a mission, on how many red orbs you have collected, and an overall grade. |

Flat Out Ultimate Carnage is the third installment in the FlatOut demolition racing series and is actually a remake of the 2006 FlatOut 2. First it came out for the XBOX 360 console in July 2007 and it was an obvious release from the financial point of view. But why in the name of God would have BugBear released it for the PC? Ultimate Carnage is nothing else but an upgraded FlatOut 2 with some new gameplay modes, vehicles and next-gen graphics. Definitely a proper FlatOut sequel would have been the best solution for continuing the series, but as long as they don't intend to do this, let's see what minor changes brings this new version.
Cars
Like its predecessor, Ultimate Carnage is based more on the racing/import tuner vehicles and its arcade touch is much more obvious than on the first FlatOut. By changing the tire grip coefficient, the developers gave the players much more control of their car. Now you don't have to worry about skidding in tight turns, the simulation touch being extremely reduced. From this point of view, there is an obvious similarity with Burnout series, where the physics system is stripped to the bone and concentrated more on the visual aspect on crashing and burning the opposition. There are three car classes present in the game: derby, race and street. Every car features ratings in categories such as speed, acceleration, strength, weight, nitro. |
