Arcade Racing At It's Finest

FlatOut is without a doubt one of the best arcade racing game ever made with it's fully destructible environments, impressive physics engine, amazing graphics and goofy bonus minigames. The game is so much fun, it's a real pleasure to race and see other cars smashing into each other with the pieces flying everywhere on the screen. The driving feels so satisfying (especially in the mud), the arcady handling of the cars is just perfect. If you're a fan of old school racing game, this one is a must !

Good ideas very badly executed

Triple roll over in the air because of slightly touching a curbside at mid speed? Sure! Flying 30m out of the windshield because of slightly hitting your door/side at a rail? Of course! The graphics are nice, the music is good, the execution is a mess. Of course it's different from FlatOut 2, the physics seem more realistic at first and make the game harder, why not? Seems legit, you simply use the brakes a little more and don't push the pedal too hard. After a while I constantly got situations like mentioned above and thanks to the weird collision query that surrounds a thin lamp post with a thick invisible tree which you still hit when you aren't rouching the post at all, things like this happen a lot. The controls are the next problem. It is not possible to use the right analog stick for acceleration and brakes, so you have to rely on buttons for this which practically results in feet of lead always instantaniously kicking through the irons when pressed. I usually don't quit games before I finished them, but after buying a very expensive car, upgrading it a lot and being halfway through the gold cup I deleted the game because the problems with controls and physics. The AI...the distance between the first few places and the rest is usually huge. Use nitro for preventing far slides out of corners, if you use it for more speed you'll end up crashing and flying very far because of the many hills placed right before MANY tight corners in the tracks...

Almost unplayable

The cars are very hard to control, skidding all the time. On top of that the computer-controlled cars will not hesitate to crash into your car while you are already struggling to follow the road, making things worse. The ragdoll "feature" when you crash into a tree is infuriating. Get Flatout 2 instead, it’s much better!

A little barebones but fun

Flatout is a rally game on closed circuits but instead of racing a BMW you’re competing against a bunch of no-name junkyard scrap with one of your own. Races are frantic and chaotic thanks to a great combination of narrow roads, physics and fast opponents. And the physics engine is not just for show. Passing through barriers or build boards will slow you down--a lot or a little--depending on your angle and speed. However impressive crashes give you a lot of nitro boost, knocking down a traffic cone a bored audience and little boost. Every bit of it counts though when you’re trying to catch up to your opponents, who don’t make as many mistakes as you’d like. Speed is an important factor when passing through the environment because hitting a wall fast enough will catapult your driver out of the windshield with a nice display of ragdoll physics. The head-through-glass technique is used in the ragdoll arena where you accelerate and dump your driver forward trying to reach height, hit bowling pins, or play darts, as well as various other mini games. Even though you’re given over thirty races in five different environments, the tracks are quite similar. It was all just left and right turns, none truly being unique or having features to remember them by. However, pacing and layout are perfect, with enough variation in structure to provide lap after lap of excitement. Each race has plenty of shortcuts, bumps and jumps to provide a constant challenge. As a tribute to Destruction Derby we’re given the very fun Demolition Arena, enclosed circular tracks of destruction. To complete the tribute BugBear has decided to give us the same depth of customization that Destruction Derby offered – none. Track parameters such as laps or time of day cannot be changed. You can’t personalize your driver. Worst of all, though, Flatout has horrible instant-replay controls: Flatout features fun to watch car crashes and yet they cannot be saved or rewound and the camera cannot be moved.

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.
