Fun racer/ brawler
This is as fun as the original but a few things are worth noting. Online no longer works. Load times are so much faster now you will have a tough time reading the bios and the hints. It's every bit as fun as the original.

Enjoyable.
FlatOut 2 is a game that's showing it's age a bit but is nevertheless still good fun. It's primary gimmick now is not so much the destructibility of the environments or the damage model of the cars, both are done better elsewhere, but the way that the debris sticks around and can be collided with on subsequent laps. The destructible items are a little patchy, for example on one map you can take out a steel support column at the corner of a two story building while on another a small 10-20 ton truck is completely fixed in place and will bring your car to a dead halt. Overall it works well though. The game also benefits from the old but enjoyable idea that you can win by maneuvering your opponents so they run into a brick wall at high speed. In fact it positively encourages it as you get higher rewards for smashing everyone repeatedly than winning the race. Which does make it hard to understand the car selection. It's dominated by big US vehicles but the developers chose to include lightweight vehicles from the other side of the pond for some reason. So instead of Range Rovers, Rollers and big Jags you've got a 205 Turbo, Subaru Impreza and similar sporty models which tend to get tossed about. The tracks are well designed though and it's fun for a few days until you get to the end.

Still enjoyable in 2021
I used to play the game with a friend when I was little and I can say that the game lives up to my memories and expectations. The crash derbies are a ton of fun and a good option to spend a couple of minutes when you re not in the mood to invest yourself in a complex or story-driven game. Just get in, demolish some cars and enjoy yourself. The career is fun too. Don't expect a simulation-like handling tho, its much more arcade-y but still good enough and causing no problems when playing on a keyboard. In my opinion, Flatout 2 is better than the previous game in all relevant aspects: graphics, handling, progression & game modes.

Survival Street racing with TON of fun
My god I love this game. If you like Split Second, BurnOut Paradise - you MUST try this one too. It mostly encourages aggressive driving style, but totally fine with clean perfect driving. It has unique AI with their own in-game patterns, physics and incredible damage model that suits perfectly for a casual racing game (e.g. without Colin MacRay details). It also includes ragdoll-type minigames, where you shoot your driver to the purpose (and to the victory xD). The only problem - is that in the official game you have no multiplayer (with is ultimate fun), only LAN or hotseat for minigames (because gameSpy servers were shut down), BUT there are mods that can add this functionality too. IMO its a top5 of all racing games I ever played (25+ years, started from first NFS:Hot pursuit - e.g. before 1st Undergroud)

Better then FO:UC
Basically the same as FlatOut:Ultimate Carnage. FO:UC has a few more tracks & cars, but requires "Games for Windows" for mutliplayer a service which is going to be discontinued by Micro$oft. FlatOut 2 has LAN mutliplayer which will work with Hamachi (& other similar programs) for continued online multiplayer (or LAN if your lucky enough to have a few friends who are willing to bring around their PCs, although this game should run well even on an older laptop).
