Let the good fun roll...online

I have put about 3 hours into this game including offline and online play. Online play is fun especially gladiator and Cat & Mouse. Destructible environments make the title more "believable." If this game were completely online, this game would be 4-5 stars.
The offline career mode is the only way to unlock the entire set of weapons and vehicles. There are several cheat codes to help you on your way. 5FINGERDISCOUNT and 10E6CUSTOMER are among them.
Now for the reason for the 3/5...You have to unlock the vehicles and weapons in career mode/cheat mode before you can use them online. So when you go online after playing 5 minutes of career mode with your smokescreen and machine guns be prepared to get blown away time and again by the folks (eg. 13 year old kids) with their homing missile and flamethrower.
The long and short of it: This game is a good rental or buy if you have a few friends who also have the game.

It's a Next Gen game, just not a good one.

Full Auto 2 is the sequel to Full Auto which came out on the Xbox 360 on early 2005. NOw it came out on the PS3. Before you start getting exited about this game because it sounds like a Burnout with weapons, let me tell you something. THIS GAME IS NOT LIKE BURNOUT!!!! The physics, cars, environments, and enviromods are hardly related to Burnout. When you turn this game on, your first thoughts may be: It's OK, but i wouldn't buy it. The next time you play it, you may think, maybe i should buy it. It's an addictive game, because the more you play it, the more goodies you unlock. The game runs at 1080p with 7.1 Surround sound, so you can see and hear every crash, missle, bullet shot, and turbo boost in the highest production quality. The game has numerous sports, muscles, and a few exotic cars, as well as numerous SUVs. The game also supports several areas of a city, some with a few tracks, and some with only one. Each one also has at least one battle arena, where the goal is the same as a demolition derby. Weapons are plentyfull. You have a choice of machine guns, mislles,shotguns, smokescreens, a dozer plow, a lazer, a flamethrower, and even grenades. Too bad you can only put on 2 weapons at a time, and some cars, usually the faster ones, cant support all weapons.
The story tries to add a reason behind the game, but you'll only care about it by .01 percent at most.The games is pretty short, and replay value is small. Glitches are not terrible in the game, but occur from time to time. If you, like me, are looking for some PS3 games to last you until the end of the year when the great sequels come out (Mercs 2, Burnout 5, GTA5, Battlefield Bad Company), then this game is OK. Otherwise, save those 60 bucks.

Full Auto 2 is a part racing, part blowing stuff up game. This game puts you behind the wheel of a variety of souped up vehicles equipped with various weapons and offers a number of ways to play, ranging from races (with weapons, of course) to 'Gladiator' mode deathmatches. There's a story driven career mode (the story is pretty weak, however) with events that offer both primary and secondary goals and reward you with unlockable vehicles, weapons, and skins for your vehicles. There are also many ways to play multiplayer, both online and in head to head offline mode.

The good and bad of the game:

THE GOOD:

- Tons of stuff to blow up and break. That's one of the great features of this game. In races you can take out streetlights, vehicles, glass buildings, and lots more, and in the gladiator fights you can wreak havoc by shooting tanker trucks full of oil and knocking over stacks of huge pipes (as well as much, much more). Driving through a building might result in your vehicle breaking through the floor and tumbling to the ground, and hitting certain parts of some structures may cause an entire building to collapse.
- The deathmatches, called Gladiator matches in the game, are a blast, even against the computer AI. With so much destructible stuff lying around the multiplayer maps become an absolute warzone with bullets, missiles, and explosions all over the place. The PS3 handles all the action pretty well too.
- You can create new paths by destroying certain parts of maps.
- Head to head multiplayer is a great option for offline gaming, and something that's lacking in a lot of games these days.
- Tons of unlockables
- Each event in career mode has primary and secondary objectives, so you can pass the event without doing everything perfect and go back and try for the secondaries later when you're up to the challenge.

THE BAD:

- If you want to use better weapons in multiplayer modes you've got to unlock those weapons in career mode first. Putting yourself in a gladiator match right out of the box will have you fending off computer opponents with flame throwers, missiles, lasers--all kinds of stuff--with your machine gun and smokescreen. If it's REALLY necessary to unlock all the weapons the computer opponents in deathmatches shouldn't have them either.
- Vehicle control leaves something to be desired, especially when you're racing. It's not just that it's tough to get used to--most of the vehicles just don't respond all that well to the controls, which is a mild annoyance in a wide open Gladiator match but a serious drawback when you're racing through narrow streets.

This game was a lot of fun overall. Comparisons to the Twisted Metal franchise are not misplaced, but this is a good game in the absence of a TM title on the PS3. While the Career mode leaves something to be desired the multiplayer options more than make up for it. There's nothing groundbreaking in Full Auto 2, but it's still a lot of fun.

Okay, I guess

This game could have been a lot better.

Racing games where you shoot each other isn't exactly a new idea.

Basically this is a boring single player game. You play single player to figure out the abilities of the game and to unlock other cars for multiplayer.

Only one problem. Multiplayer online is horrible.

This was a rushed launch title. It would be best to forget that it ever came out in the first place.

better than you might think

after all the bad reviews you might not give this game a fair chance. I downloaded the demo first and thought it was horrible. I played it for 10-15 minutes and then did not touch it again for a month. Just out of curiosity and boredom I fired the demo up again a month later. I gave it a little more time this time... and I was hooked. I think the graphics are great. The physics are not real-life, but more arcade-like, and I personally think they are appropriate for the game, once you get used to them. Once you get the hang of driving, which isn't that hard, I think you will enjoy the game a lot. I'd much rather play this than Twisted metal (Black or otherwise)... this game is light years ahead of that.

Big Bang for your buck

Full Auto 2 is perfect if you are looking for a game with lots of destruction. The cars explode beautifully, making you want to keep playing. There is nothing like seeing a high-end sports car ripped to shreds by your hood-mounted twin machine guns!

The Good:

- All the vehicles are wonderfully detailed
- The environments are realistically created
- Many buildings on the multiplayer maps are completely destructible, nothing like trapping your opponent in a building and sending the whole thing crashing down on top of him!
- All the maps are created with battle in mind. No places to hide.

The Bad:

- This game didn't offer as many vehicle customizations as I thought it would
- Some levels ARE difficult, but if you adjust your tactics, they can be easily beaten

This game is perfect if you just want to have a good time.
