The idea itself is ok. Actually, that would be my favourite type of racing game, but everything that could go wrong, does.
The controls and physics, the most important things in a racing game, are just horrible. It's not about them being unrealistic, they didn't have to, nor did I wanted them to be realistic; I just wanted to actually being able to control my car.
The car just flies across the screen, spinning uncontrollably, hitting every obstacle in the way and literally flying in all directions. There's no weight in it, and also, the game isn't really punishing you for hitting walls or even mines set by the other racers, so all you have to, and can do, is just float forward at full speed, and hope for the best.
The tracks, other very important thing in racing game, are boring and unimaginative, to the point that you can't really distinguish one part of the level from another (besides one part of the caves... too bad, the rest of it is just one long corridor with nothing in it.)
Not to mention they even reusing the tracks in the campaign (to prolong it I assume,) which you have to complete, in order to unlock anything else. Normally I wouldn't mind unlocking stuff by playing the game, but when the game is that tedious, it's just bothersome.
Even if it would be for free, I wouldn't recommend playing this game.
To think that after creating this, they somehow acquired right to make FlatOut sequel... It just baffles me.… Expand
