FlatOut: Head On follows the same basic formula as the rest of the series, but the PlayStation Portable version is the current definitive package.

It's hard not to love a title that piles on all the game modes (including multiplayer) and makes the racing element actually fun.

The PSP iteration of the franchise has issues with texture resolution, frame rate and, most importantly, the physics fidelity (which affects handling), but none of these issues keep the game from ultimately being a fun ride.
