    It's Flatout, and if you like any of the previous Flatouts, you'll like this. Unfortunately, it is just like the previous version which is great in some ways, but could be seen a missed opportunity. It's still great fun though and one of the best arcade racers out there - especially if you like crashes (and who doesn't?). Would certainly recommend, especially as it will no doubt be inIt's Flatout, and if you like any of the previous Flatouts, you'll like this.

    Very good game. Is better then FlatOut 3. If you love this series of game, then run and buy it.

    P.S. Critics are wrong, Don't listen to them. It's really good game.

    I've never played this game before the 4th installment, but I can say that I haven't had more fun playing a racing game then this game right here. The graphics are great on PS4 pro the sound is awesome and the cars and tracks are cool and creative. I honestly don't understand all the negative reviews... I'm rating this game a 10 to balance out the zeros and low scores...But honestly it's aI've never played this game before the 4th installment, but I can say that I haven't had more fun playing a racing game then this game right here.

    Funny game, do you expect more ?
    I'm a big fan of Flatout 1 & 2 and what can I say ?
    Pro : - New stunts/mode/course - Remember Burnout - Rock music is cool, thus you can use spotify (even free acount) - Runs OK on PS4 (~40FPS) , but it's compatible PS4Pro - Full custom commands - Sensitivity Acceleration/Brake/turns is customisable... Cons : - ...we doubt guys were sure    Funny game, do you expect more ?

    - No Split Screen (but still "hot-seat")
    - Can't move the camera during stunts with make some (Beer Cup) very difficult.

    If you don't like it you can still try Wreckfest

    Look past the scruffy visuals, because Flatout 4's penchant for vehicular violence means it passes its madcap MDT. [May 2017, p.92]

    Flatout’s schtick is its physics-heavy racing, but that engine is antiquated now. Like the nitro it ungenerously ekes out – fun in short bursts only [May 2017, p79]

    As its name implies this is an insane arcade racer that offers a kind of gameplay not so common these days. Flatout 4 is fun, crazy and enjoyable, albeit a bit repetitive in areas.
