So, it has been a great yet hard and unfun experience. Let's say this game focuses more on physics over gameplay.... So the rating is: 9/10 physics, 5/10 playability 7/10 replayability 10/10 graphics (for it's initial release date), Why is playability rated only at 5 and replayability is at 7? Well... The point is that game isn't beginner friendly, because of it's none-arcade gameplay. But as soon as you start to understand this game more, you'll find it more fun that you thought it was at the start. Though i spent only 8 hours at the game i've really got into it and been able to beat full career. Probably will be replaying this game again on manual mode. So... The question is: could i recommend this game? Yeah, definitely.

Runs great, even 20 years after release, feeling nostalgic over this game =)

Ram through pile-ups and smash through your windshield as you push racing to the edge! FlatOut™ delivers more heart-stopping thrills than any sane driver can handle!

There's quite a bit that I enjoy but I'm wondering when my car will stop constantly stalling? Nearly every race coming nearly to a complete stop sometimes 7 or 8 times in 1 lap. I have the 148 hp engine upgrade, port and polish, engine balancing, 2nd clutch, 1st exhaust, exhaust manifold, max suspension, max tires, and body upgrade. I have raced dozens of races most of which I did not medal because of the stalling. I will lead for most of the race, stall out real bad then get spun around by another racer and struggle to pass #8. Several times I came to a COMPLETE STOP within inches of the finish line. I don't know why anyone with a car that runs that poorly would enter a race. It is exceedingly frustrating after 11 upgrades to the vehicle in career mode. EDIT: This behavior is a result of bad default controller bindings which I still have not been able to resolve.

Crash into your opponents until you drive them out of the race, or just simply outrun your opponents, both work.

Typical racing game of early 2000s, nothing special + Car handling is quite enjoyable + Nice OST + No rubber banding or it's unnoticeable + Warming graphics of late ps2 era - Game marked as "steam deck verified", but in default controls left stick is fully mapped to keyboard arrows, so you can accidentally use brakes while trying to turn. Unplayable till you change controls mapping. Easy to fix, but such an effortless move by the devs - Some maps are buggy mess with random collisions and bumps - All cars feels the same - Single game mode, except bonus - Too simplified physics for bots, it's just trains on rails in late game

A really nice arcade racing game from the mid 2000: with a great variety of tracks, wacky extra mode,a great soundtrack with a lot of rock from the era and an impressive (at the time) destruction model for the cars makes the game a classic in a genre lost to time in my opinion, but unfortunately not everything is done well in this game, for example: the handling of the cars was sometimes atrocious and difficult to really control the car how you wanted, the AI was inconsistent, sometimes was impossible to win and sometimes was like I was racing alone and finally...who was the idea for the snow stage? Just asking because was a nice change of scenery but man, they were impossible sometimes to drive in it. In the end the game is really good, like a said a style of racing game lost to time.

Finished for the first time in 2005. At that time this game felt unreal. 20 years later, I play the same game, finish for the second time. Game fully supports 4K resolution, looks so ahead of its time, plays amazingly, soundtrack is outstanding. Its in my top 3 arcade racing games of all time. So worth it
