FlatOut: Head On is a continuation of the FlatOut universe and includes the same set of drivers as both the original game and its sequel, as well as the same game types.
In the traditional championship mode, players compete in a series of events organized as a tournament, completing races to collect points. After the game, the issues are tallied, and the player can unlock the next event in the series only if they finish in first, second, or third place overall. In addition, there are also several minigames, such as throwing the driver into a game of basketball, bowling, or baseball, to mention a few examples.
In addition, there is a mode called Party Mode, in which up to eight people can compete against one another in a series of stunts to win points and try to outdo one another. In addition, online capabilities use Ad-hoc in a four-person single race.
