Violent, agressive racing will take place in various locations and themes, such as the financial district, the industrial port and a dusty and an old but atmospheric town somewhere in southern-europe. Gamemode also available in splitscreen mode.
– “Trash” : An addictive, violent, Wii-targeted game mode for what’s the whole Flatout franchise about: Breaking stuff!
