FlatOut 2

This game is a racing\destruction derby game, from the PS2 Era. If you can look over the graphics (and honestly, they are not bad...just newer games are better), you will be pleased with purchasing this game. It took me about 25 hrs to complete, and I enjoyed almost every second of it! It plays very well with Keyboard as well. If you enjoyed older Bugbear games like Destruction Derby (or their newer game Wreckfest), then I highly recommend this game. Besides, where else will you find a game for $1.49 (when it is on sale) that will give you 20-40 hours of awesome gameplay? Finally...killer soundtrack! If you came of age in the US (sorry, I can't speak for the rest of the world) in the 90's and like Rock Music, you will love the music (you can also turn off the music if this style of music doesn't float your boat)

God I miss games like this. I never played this game before but I liked the style a lot. It's like a proud patriotic racing game... It's the most american racing game I've played. Driving feels great for the time. The physics reminded me of Max Payne 2, though maybe it's a bit more outdated. The music is great. This game is of my generation. 1 Star less because the rubber banding it's ridiculous and because the campaign is sadly a bit repetitive. I tasted all 3 type of events and played with a friend the minigames but I didn't get to the ultimate tournament because I'm tired of playing this game. Anyway. I loved it while it lasted. Now I will probably play Star wars races... It has been more than 20 years since last time...

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).

This is a track verson of a beat-em-up than a driving game. Cartoon physics, beautiful graphics. Tracks are short, four themes with several variations of each, no race takes more than five minutes, and generally involve 2 laps of smashing everyone and everything in your path and one lap of using the nitro gained from shunts and grabbing air to zoom past the pack. Derbies are fun, though the stunts leave me cold. Like a beat-em-up, there's no depth, but it makes it perfect for parties and one quick race in between serious stuff.

I want to be honest here. I played this game ages ago on my friends PC, ie it wasn't my copy. And I don't remember if I ever finished the game but boy was I entertained, the graphics quality was impressive and the variety of content for me was just something else. I wanted to buy it but for whatever reason I just didn't. I completely forgot about this game until I was alerted that it was on sale. And I promptly bought it without much thought. I felt I owed the developers something. Heck I remember when the demo came out and I played the shit out of that as well. I really enjoyed smashing other vehicles in the derby mode and it was great being the last one standing even when I was missing a wheel. This was and still is a great game. I loved the soundtrack, I love the feeling of smashing my car and just kicking ass and it just felt right. I also love the little touches like how if you get hit really hard by an opponent and the health meter just breaks off a piece of your health as a result.
