Pure skill thrill

On normal handling, there is nothing special about this game. On professional this is an incredible racer. Great physics which see fences, signs, barrels and tires scattering around and under your car; excellent car deformation; and realistic handling. Flatout provides an exhilarating and fun challenge, and on professional handling, it IS a challenge. It's the sort of racing game where you'll instinctively be micro-adjusting your acceleration, braking and turning on every single turn; pressing and releasing multiple buttons many times in the space of a second. That's how you know you've got a quality physics system to work with. The effort isn't wasted on your playthrough either. There are five different types of race (track, town, sandpit, woodland and ice) and while the tracks do recycle and reverse a lot of areas and turns, they're immaculately put together. Combined with the physics and handling; where you'll have to be planning your driving for the next turn or chicane ahead of time, you'll find every new race a new challenge in having to calculate the best line as you try to powerslide seamlessly to the finish line before your aggressive AI competitors. There are bonus fun challenges for distraction, as well as an upgrades system based on your cash winnings, but it's all secondary to the incredibly weighty and realistic handling which will see you spinning-out, and flying through your windshield until you master it.

Challenging, fun racing game

FlatOut is a pretty challenging racing game which can be both frustrating and fun at the same time. It's frustrating when you hit something invisible and see your driver launched through the wind shield, and it's so much fun when, well, all other times, pretty much. The game doesn't have too many tracks, but the ones it has have been very well designed and look great. The game's soundtrack is great, the graphics are quite good and, overall, the presentation is excellent. One of the game's strong suits in my opinion. Gameplay is good, but there's not too much depth to it. As a whole, it's very well made. If you are interested in a racing game that's NOT geared towards following the perfect line through a corner, or trying to prevent any damage to your car, this might be worth getting. As I write this, the game goes for $1.49, so unless the premise doesn't sound appealing to you at all, this is a steal, and that's a huge understatement. There's almost no excuse for not picking it up!

More racing games for Linux! :)

Not all works out of the box on Gentoo. There is a issue with sound but is ease to fix, simple remove FlatOut/wine_standalone/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib and make sure that app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs if sound deson't works for you out of the box on amd64 architecture. Works like a charm on mobile i5 with integrated HD 4000 GPU (even on FHD). Flatout is not TOCA Race drive, but is DRM free and works without required CD inside your drive all the time when you want play.

Fun

I bought this game around 2005. And boy, what a game it was. I remember seeing the guy flying through windshield at the cover art and was thinking could it actually happen in real life. And will it happen in this game. It did. Then I looked at the back of the disc box where I saw some screenshots and was surprised by the damage model and wondered if it was like that in the game. It was even better. This game came out in 2004, but it offered so much complex graphical options (for its age), like anisotropic texture filtering or even the anti aliasing. It looked beautiful, and most importantly, it was fun. So much fun. You could do whatever the hell you want. Even if you had the slowest car, are the worst driver, if you know how to crash into other people, you could win. And crashing is fun, since the damage model was the best since then, it looked realistic, but is not. And the mini games. Shoot your guy in the air, crash into other cars and be the last surviving... Should be its own game. Get the game if you like mayhem, and don't mind ages.

Almost five stars, broken multiplayer

For single-player users, this game if Fun with a capital F. This game gets the fun of computer racing pitch-perfect! Driving around varied tracks, adjusting for steering and sliding as your car gets knackered, watching your engine burst into flames . . . this game sucks you in and makes you want to play another track! The FOv2 for GOG mod is recommended. The v2 game is still basically stock, but there are some graphical tweaks and bug fixes that are worthwhile. Unfortunately, multiplayer for this game game doesn't work on modern versions of Windows. I have Windows 8.1 64 bit, he has Windows 10 64 bit. For both of us, trying to host or join a multiplayer game just crashes the program completely. We've tried the recommended fixes: fov2 plus FlatOutNet still has exactly the same problem. Since we can't use this game for multiplayer, minus 1 star. However, this game is still highly recommended for single-player use!
