this game for its time is absolutely peak in my humble opinion. the perfect balance of arcade and simulation to have a fun time but the handling still makes sense. giving me hope that bugbear sticks to their roots and makes wreckfest 2 fore like this other than wreckfest 1. and the fact that i can come back to it over 20 years after release and do another play through says enough for me. 5 / 5 stars from me all day!

Still a very fun game with good memories! :D

FlatOut is a one of many gems of 2000's era of gaming. This racing game is quite short, but offers a unique experience of racing derby cars across various locations, while ramming other race cars and other cars ramming you back. The career mode itself is divided into three classes, and in each class you have to beat every race in order to get to the next one. Cars are also divided into three classes by the way, but you can upgrade them instead of buying a new one. Apart from that, there are two handling models, "Normal" and "Professional", which can be chosen when you create a save profile. Also, the soundtrack is quite nice and is a good accessory to the thriling gameplay.
