    The cars feel like you are actually driving something(prolly because the excellent physics engine). Driving takes some skill (a good thing) and a beginner might feel frustrated at the high speed races. One doesn't always know where the game will end up, when you throw a set of dynamic objects (including the cars) in to a physics engine. That's a plus.. well most of the time. Pc-version

    Amazing! I love this game. So much better then the first one. The graphics are so much better, and far more realistic. The AI has been vastly improved. Overall, I think this game was amazing. I never even liked racing games until I found out about flatout, then I kind of got bored it if and it's dull gameplay. Then I got flatout 2, and its rocking my world. All I can say is: wow! Amazing!

    Enjoying every minute of this game. The challenge of each level increases just enough where you want to play "just one more" before calling it a night. It's gotten to the point where I'm going back and cleaning up the 2nd place finishes to get them to first. What's interesting is that it's actually fun doing it. In most games something like that would be tedious. The Enjoying every minute of this game.

In most games something like that would be tedious. The events were tough (for me) at first but once you get the hang of them they're all doable. Graphics look fine to my eye; purists may find fault but there certainly aren't any distractions like excessive jaggies or anything like that. Runs smooth as silk on my 4400X2, AGP 850Pro, 2GB mem. Overall a great game and priced very fairly imho (bought via Steam).… Expand

    A magnificent game and quite possibly the best arcade racer ever made. If your a fan of intense fender to fender action then you owe it to yourself to pick up this game. Computer AI is believably aggressive and at times very difficult to beat. The city and rural landscapes are stunningly beautiful and almost totally destructible. By the end of a race the track will be thoroughly trashed A magnificent game and quite possibly the best arcade racer ever made.

The city and rural landscapes are stunningly beautiful and almost totally destructible. By the end of a race the track will be thoroughly trashed and your car will be a twisted shadow of its former self. Unlike the NFS games (Underground and Most Wanted) this racer runs smooth as silk on my Athlon64 4000+ with Ati x850xt pcix and 2 gigs of ram. Awesome and highly recommended!… Expand

    I never really played racing games before but I bought the game anyway and I was suprised how fun it was. Anyone can enjoy the fun of smashing cars together and causing 5 car pile ups. The graphics are great, and the sound is too. Haven't found any gliches in the one player mode, but the game does crash sometimes during multiplayer on the internet.

The game isn't overly difficult, but there are tons of maps to race and it will keep you occupied for hours. The stunts are also really fun to play against other peope on the internet. Overall, this is a great game.… Expand

    There's nothing quite like an all out demolition derby that lasts for 3 or 4 laps.

    This game is a classic, it's great fun at LAN parties and a huge amount of fun in Derby, some cars are a bit hard to control, but that kind of boosts the challenge a bit. The graphics are pretty good still, even for today's standards.

    Flatout 2 inovatted the racing games. After play Flatout 2 and Ultimate Carnage, you probably will not play Need For Speed again. The soundtrack is very good and ideal for this game. This is the best racing game franchise in my opinion.

    Это одна и самых замечательных аркадных гонок, когда-либо виденных мною. Игра очень динамичная, весёлая, в меру сложная. За десяток лет до сих пор не надоела. Можно так же отметить приятную детализированную графику, без излишеств, красочную и нетребовательную. В любом случае советую. Конечно, понравится не каждому, но пропускать не стоит.Это одна и самых замечательных аркадных гонок, когда-либо виденных мною. Игра очень динамичная, весёлая, в меру сложная.

    Man this game is the sh1t. I'm not saying this only because of nostalgia but also because still in 2023 it provides a very enjoyable chaotic racing experience. They don't make them anymore as they used to back in the day. I have to admit I like FlatOut Ultimate Carnage more because it is the same game but with slightly better graphics, more racers, more cars and more game modes but it'sMan this game is the sh1t.

    There’s no getting away from the fact that FlatOut 2 is damned good fun, and will bring you back to the days of Destruction Derby and its ilk. However, as much as we appreciate the tweaks – and that’s really all they are – to the first game, there are still a few too many fundamental flaws which bring out a wail of frustration or a tut as you consider how easily certain annoyances could have been avoided.

    Where FlatOut felt like racing in a field, FlatOut 2 feels like racing on a film set. It has been reshaped into the archetype, competent arcade racer. [Aug 2006, p.89]

    The single-player Career won't take all that long to complete, but with a hugely entertaining multiplayer mode both on and offline, there's a good chance you'll continue playing for a while after.
