Movement is terrible, like being on ice, even when not running, and the first thing the tutorial makes you do is platforming. Absurd. The motorbike handles terribly, but that could be excused as tradition in "DOS trash" games. However, the enemies constantly shouting over each other "found you - Found you -Found you", even behind walls, should give an idea how how bad this mod is.
The description says "DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play." That is a LIE. The original had LAN multiplayer. This one does not. It requires a GOG Galaxy account and an online connection to play multiplayer. The original did not need any of that. If you are too young to know, that means you could host a local server and play multiplayer at your home without the Internet and without any account. They removed that functionality.
No multiplayer and no map editor. An inferior version compared to Steam. Thanks a lot, GOG.
The simplicity of this game is still unrivaled. Even people that never played it can get behind the keyboard and start competing in a matter of minutes. If you have a friend that says "I suck at computer games", he can still have fun playing this. That's why still the game of choice for my lan parties. The successors, Flatout: Ultimate Carnage, and Flatout 3 have some stupid account requirements to play online, that make it insanely hard to do a quick setup and just play with friends. I guess there aren't many games that fill such need for mindless car destruction. Plenty of people were still playing multiplayer when the GameSpy servers were taken off less than one year ago! BTW You can still play multiplayer online, just use GameRanger to create a room and start it. You'll find people to play with you too ;)
