FlatOut 2

Yes

The track music is less generic but the gameplay is plain awesome, even moreso than the original.

Every second screen colmes up with"GIVE US A REVIEW" DO so you are losing two stars for being so vain trhat you need validation so much....NO ONE CARES!!!

I'm playing the game because I like the handling model, but this is a preference so narrow and the game's negatives are so strong, that I can't recommend this game even to an enemy. Some idiots say that this is a derby game. It isn't. The only way to progress in the game is by winning races. And you don't win races by crashing. However, crashing is nearly inavoidable. Janky physics can send you flying in a random direction at any point. The opponents prioritize hurting you over their own results. There are no clean drivers in this game. Everyone is trying to kill you. Most also seem to try to kill themselves. And there's heavy rubberbanding, so they always catch up to you. The cars are heavy and sluggish, so it is often difficult to dodge a hazard in time. And the grip is limited, so if you ask too much from the car, you crash. With all the bumps and trash and obstacles on the tracks, the car is almost never stable. It is always just one small push away from spinning, flipping or barrelling into a wall. And more often than not, the game is happy to provide such a push. Winning races therefore, and progressing in the game, unavoidably requires luck. And you'll have to restart races over and over until the game finally let's you finish in peace and in a good position.

The game is great fun. Very divers cars and tracks and the 'rag-doll' minigames. It is a shame they missed the opportunity to implement Force-Feedback properly. The only feedback you get is on collisions. But no grip of tires, the type of street, bumps in the street and so on. That would have been awesome especially in this game.
