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.

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.

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.

Car destruction mayhem

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.

Full Auto 2 - Great but not the Best

I like this game a lot; I would have given it 5 stars but you have to play the career mode to unlock more weapons and cars for Aracade and multi-player modes. To me this knocked the game value down since I bought this game for the sole purpose to play against other opponents. So instead of playing each other immediately we are now trying to complete most of career mode to unlock more cars and weapons; to me this is a waste of my time and energy. The game is fun once you have 50% of it unlock and well worth the money; though it would be nice to start off with more than 2 weapons and 3 cars.

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.

A big disappointment due to poor graphics and physics

Full Auto 2 is a huge disappointment, esp. since it's a Sega game and I expected so much more. I had played the original Xbox 360-exclusive Full Auto and it was a total disaster. Full Auto 2, exclusive to the PS3, is a much improved version, but overall it's still a crappy game.

First, the graphics is poor for a PS3 game (and for the price). The cars have no details and the environment inadequately rendered. It really feels like a PS2 game that was just half-heartedly dressed up.

Second, and more devastating, is the laughable car physics. The vehicles just feel weightless and ridiculously unreal. When you are racing you don't feel like you are racing at all. It's almost as if you weren't even controlling your car. The physics here is the worst I've seen in a racer in a long time (only the original Full Auto was worse).

Because you can shoot at your opponents when you're driving, there's so some fun factor to this game, especially for a couple of hours in the beginning. Ultimately, this game falls far short of its potentials (just like the original for the X360). It just sucks.

Don't waste your time

This game is pretty terrible. It's one of 3 games I purchased along with my PS3 and I played it maybe a total of 6 times.

This wasn't due to lack of wanting to play, but because each time I played I'd end up so annoyed and infuriated that I'd put it down for another week.

The graphics ARE nice, but there are slowdowns and it just isn't very control friendly. The races are atrociously hard, usually too hard to be fun, and there's rarely anyone worthwhile to play with online.

To top it off the game save file would get corrupted pretty often (no I did not turn off the console during HDD access). This is the only game this happens on so I think it's just buggy.

Don't waste your money or your time, you won't be able to sell it for more than $20 at your local game store.

Rent before you buy...

This is not your typical racing game. This is not your typical car destruction game. In the middle of these two genres we get a game called Full Auto 2. I made this one of my first PS3 purchases. Thinking that the game would be somewhat decent since the reviews were good. I was in love with the Twisted Metal series and thought this could at least be something to keep me occupied before other new games arrove. Generally my first impressions were good. The visuals are excellent and the mayhem is spectacular. This game is 1080p and it shows. Although it is also a rather new series. I would have to say it still needs some work. The game plays sloppily at times and the destruction seems much harder to achieve than I would like. When you are in the arenas it seems as though many cars attempt to avoid you which in turn takes a lot of fun out of destruction. Then the car physics are less reliable than I would enjoy. What made Twisted Metal so great was that the cars did what you wanted them to do. In this game it seems to easy to get stuck and in a defensless position. Although as you progress you can achieve better vehicles it seems more difficult than what I bargined for. Playing online is about the only thing I enjoyed since it's a little easier to predict how people will respond. The computer A.I. responds terribly which in turn makes this game too difficult which in turn makes this game much less fun. I would be willing to try a sequel if they work on these issues. What they have is an excellent concept that needs to be much improved. I would advise anyone to rent this game first before plopping at least $50 on it.

Do not buy this game

This is very boring. I am glad I rented it. Only played it for about 20 minutes and that was it. I would not accept it if some one gives it to me for free.

REALLY, DO NOT BUY THIS.
