The single player game has gotten a bit of a revamp for the sequel. The original simply had you driving through races against unnamed opponents, but for FlatOut 2 BugBear has actually created a number of different characters that will have their own driving styles. Having the single player game focus on trying to beat different characters, from tough babes to cowboy hat wearing guys certainly gives it a lot more variety. There will also be different types of cars to drive this time instead of a fleet of similar looking racers. Demolition derby cars along with street and racing cars will be a part of the mix this time for FlatOut 2 along with some secret rides that we won't mention here. Overall the game will have 34 vehicles compared to just 16 in the original.

It's not just the cars that are getting a makeover for the sequel. While the original concentrated solely on rural tracks, FlatOut 2 adds urban settings to a number of its new tracks. In our GDC demo we took the controls to race around a track with elevated highways, construction sites, and lots of mayhem on the streets. Much like the Burnout series. FlatOut 2 will also have alternate paths to drive around in addition to the normal way to complete a race. While we didn't see this track during our brief GDC demo there will also be a track based on the look of the Los Angeles River sewer system made famous via a number of movies such as Terminator 2. People who enjoyed the rural tracks from the original game need not fret as FlatOut 2 will have a number of off-road tracks as well. At GDC we took the wheel on one such track made to look something like a Virginia farm location.
