    this game is much better than burnout, I really liked. it is not a revolution in racing games but it is extremely fun and that's the most important thing for me. I do not give it the 10 because at least my umd does not have on line mode. racing game for psp

    I just can't believe how they managed to fit a full blown FlatOut experience on a single UMD disc. Head On is absolutely incredible - actual FlatOut 2 PS2-level game with contents including some of the stuff from Ultimate Carnage, I would say this game is probably the best racer on PSP. Fantastic graphics and physics, a lot cars to drive and cups/things to win, some absolutely mad bonusI just can't believe how they managed to fit a full blown FlatOut experience on a single UMD disc.

    The game could have been a bit better. For me the killer point is frame rate. it is sluggish and jumps up and down. Damaging a car is not as ps2 or pc versions. It is simpified here but still good.

    A really fun game for traveling. While it is largely the same as the other FlatOut games, this is a good on the go game, and it plays pretty much the same as the console games, which is good for a portable game. If you like playing FlatOut, and want to travel with it, then get this game.

    A really fun demolition racer that works particularly well on the PSP. If you like the Destruction Derby games, you'll love this.

    FlatOut is fun and different enough that it manages to stand out.

    It's no racing revolution but this is solid, playable and highly entertaining. [Apr 2008, p.76]

    A rag-doll requiem of destruction, so gratuitous that it defies moral probity. Like all the best shock and awe titles, the vice is polished so sweetly you'll barely notice you've gone to hell. [Apr 2008, p.105]
