The roots of Wreakfest

Solid racer with good physics (still better than a lot of current racers) which paved the way for Wreakfest, which feels closer to Wreakfest than Flatout 2, but only overall bettered by Wreakfest and in someways Faltout 2. It's still somewhat decent looking and plays very smoothly, it features a rock and funk soundtrack from around the time (although I cannot confirm it still has the original soundtrack as I am only playing it now) the game came out. The only issue I have is they did not add proper widescreen support so it will be streached if you use a widescreen resolution, there are widescreen fixes out there if you can find non malware version, I couldn't so I just went with a 4:3 resolution. Got for free but it's worth the asking price, only bettered by Flatout 2 and Wreakfest and in someways the races are better than Flatout 2.

Great Arcade Racer

Fun, but if you want to win you can't really utilize the destruction mechanics. Also can get a bit grindy because you can't really progress without buying new cars and upgrades. Overall though, can reccomend to anyone who enjoys old school arcade racers.

Decent fun with few annoying problems

FlatOut is decently fun racing game that has sadly some annoying elements. The racing itself feels good and maps are generaly speaking allright, some being more fun to play and some being frustraiting than fun. It's also fairly difficult, it's not easy but it's also not super hard. The annoying parts of this game are too sensitive bumping into objects, even at low speed or barely even touching the surface of the object, followed by "out of track" status when your car is like 2m away from the main road while still closely following it, but the game on some maps register you as ridding off the track completely. The worst offender being the reset button that has delay before you can use it when you need it the most. For example, if your character gets pushed out of your car you will have to wait around 3-5 seconds before you can respawn, making this painfully frustraiting. The soundtrack is avarage to below avarage at best for me. It took me only around 5,5 hours to beat but you have the option to play some bonus levels if you wish to. Final score from me is 6/10.
