The verdict
A darker, prettier remaster of FlatOut 2 with chaotic destruction and Carnage mode, but with no multiplayer, a weaker soundtrack and erratic physics. Skip it if you want multiplayer or already own FlatOut 2.
Great for
Arcade-racing and FlatOut fans who want single-player destruction and nostalgia, and don't mind modding the music
Main risk
Random debris physics, rubberbanding AI and crashes, plus no multiplayer and little new over FlatOut 2
What players love
Fun, chaotic arcade destruction
Mentioned in ~1 in 4 positive reviews
“The aggressive AI, insane crashes, detailed vehicle damage, and ridiculously fun races make this game something special.”
