“Hands down the greatest car game in history, next to NFS MW black edition.”
“Flatout 1 - 6/10 Flatout 2 - 10/10 Flatout UC - 8/10 Flatout 3 - 0/10 Flatout 4 - 4/10 If you want the best Flatout experience, i'll recommend you to stick with Flatout 2 which is simply a masterpiece in demolition race.”
“Perfect brawler racing game, the best progression FlatOut series have seen so far. Absolutely recommended for any racing game fan - arcade, simulation, vehicular combat, virtually anyone! What is cool -Outstanding…”

“One of the best arcade racing games EVER. + Great music, if you like 2000's rock + good arcade damage system (the damage is mostly cosmetic until the last ~30%, where you can lose a wheel) + good bots (Benton is a meme…”
“The tracks have become wider, the cars heavier, and because of this, it has become much easier to navigate turns. There is no feeling that any cardboard box will send your car flying into the sky. The music is great, as…”
“Phenomenal racing game. Superb physics, vehicle damage, weighty and satisfying car handling, both dirt & street racing, career mode and absolutely GODLIKE soundtrack. Also you can get this for like 2€ on a sale. 💯…”

“FlatOut 2 makes the original look like a prototype; i.e. this one is better in almost every aspect, except for the Ridiculous Rubber Banding AI — only passable with Leaderboards, but n0pe, nothing encourages the player…”
“The game rests on two pillars: derby and multiplayer. There is no plot. Jack Benton is a jerk; he'll either crash or overtake you if you drive first. I hate racing and street racing.”

“I oddly enough really loved this game. I felt nostalgic for something I never played when I was younger, and I found myself feeling comforted throughout my entire playthrough. I do not recommend playing on mouse and…”

“Imma be honest here it's a miracle that I found this game on steam here, why? because I had this game on CD back then and that CD is corrupted now. But this game right here will be my best childhood game ever that I used to wreck every lobbies. Got me emotional over here 😅 But I…”

Throwback to days long gone when I was playing FlatOut 2 with my childhood friend - total carnage, Megadeth blasting from speakers, yelling something about setting goverment buildings on fire.
