The main goal of the whole FlatOut franchise is taking out your opponents in the most violent way possible, trashing each others cars till they explode: which makes FlatOut one of the most violent racing series on the market. The most obvious game mode for rewarding, aggressive racing behavior is the old Destruction Derby mode but at Team6, we felt that this aggressive ‘violence factor’ was missing in the old destruction derby game mode from the previous FlatOut: and therefore we thought of new ideas to make this gamemode more fun and violent.

In the new FlatOut, the ‘Battle Arena’ is situated in an immense, interactive battle arena with a dark, post apocalyptic vibe. Inspired by the gladiators in ancient Rome, this is the perfect location to destroy your opponents with fun and ease. In previous FlatOut series some people may have found it frustrating to find an opponent and try to collide with him before he was out of sight: but the new Destruction Derby is one big deathtrap with loads of features to make it easier and more fun to blow your opponents car into tiny pieces!

There’s only one way to repair your car in Battle Arena: you have to pick up a newly introduced ‘Repair Bonus’. The catch is, these repair bonuses are often in a narrow, dangerous alley or nearby a deathtrap, making you an easy and especially fun target for all other contenders.

Since pictures tend to say more than words, try to find the “Flamethrower Street”, “Hole in One: Spike Pit”, “1000 Ton Steel Ball”, “Melting Pit”, “Tesla Death” and the “Tornado Shrapnel Area” in the above screenshot of the new Battle Arena for FlatOut Wii.
