One of the worst games I have played

The sequel - FlatOut 2 - is BRILLIANT. But this game... The first FlatOut is one of the worst games I have ever played. Nothing works here. The models and tracks are really ugly. The cars are close to undrivable if you don't have a good controller - you can forget about keyboard. The impression of speed - nonexistent; you feel as though you were driving a block of concrete, no matter what the speedometer says. Horrible experience. FlatOut fails in every way. Skip it. Buy FlatOut 2 - it's incredibly fun. :-) There couldn't be a sequel more different than that.

1 and 2 are similar but different games

2 is a fast and lightweight arcade racing game that is easier to play with automatic transmission than manual transmission. 1 has a deeper enjoyment than 2. It's like the old Destruction Derby game, and it's more fun to play with a manual transmission. In short 1 and 2 are similar but different games. I'm Japanese, but Japanese street cars don't need to Flatout.

Skip it

This is another of those early 2000s shovelware drivers where handling is close to zero regardless of the settings and input device. The races are mostly held at dusk so the lighting is low and directional to mask the mediocre graphics and make steering all the more difficult. No widescreen except for mods, and no race line. Until GOG gets some Need for Speed, at least we have two solid titles in Formula Legends and JDM worth spending money on.

Good physics, sloppy driving

Flatout is better than most racing titles, but demands a lot of grinding. There's some unique side content, no rubber-banding (sorry, Need for Speed & Burnout fans), and the graphics hold up for an ancient AA game. Destruction, soft-body/axle damage, and physics are stellar, even by modern standards. Hell, Forza Horizon 5 and Grid 2 play like Brazilian asset flips in comparison. On the downside, it has a lot of conflicting mechanics and irritating AI tendencies. The nitro system requires you to swap paint with rivals. That's an awful idea as other racers will crash themselves trying to drive you off the road or do a PIT maneuver anytime you are near, so you should always avoid them. You'll need to restart half the races as you will be spun out or T-boned on the first turn almost every single time. Combine the lunatic AI with with cars that oversteer, spin out, or flip no matter your tires when it touches a pebble, and you will become well-acquainted with the "retry race" button. The reset feature places you so far back, takes so long to activate, and often in the direct path of oncoming cars, that it is completely worthless. The optimum strategy is to grind to get the fastest car in your current level as soon as possible and skip all the middling cars that get shoved around like go-karts with bald tires.

Holds up well!

Good fun arcade racer!!! Holds up suprisingly well for it's age, engaging circuits, decent AI, the damage model is better than lots of newer games which was a suprise considering this is from 2005 and has a solid arcade look to the graphics. Works with controller, just need to bind the keys. Also there is a more challenging professional mode for those looking for a grittier racing experience. And if you like early 2000's rock you will have a blast with this, it's a vibe.
