Flatout is a game with pro and cons, something halfway from a Carmageddon, a rally and Destruction Derby PROs - The graphic is still amazing after years - Physics is great - Amazing head-to-head with other cars while trying to get into first positions CONs - Minimap is unuseful since you can't see where the cars are facing (expecially in the arenas) - The first NASCAR already came out with a paintkit, while the colors of the cars are standardized and poor - The garage settings are sad: often you have no idea of what benefit you're getting buying a certain piece - Difficulty is high when your car's HP are over 250, you can barely understand what's going on, and keeping the car on the track is almost impossible - For comparison, Carmageddon had a wider selection of controls, a better damage table, and more drivable cars - You'll see you forced to run the same races over and over just to get the money you need to tune your car for higher level races Flatout is a nice game if you're thinking to do 3-5 races, after that you *will* need a break.
