FlatOut 2

« It may remind you of Burnout, but this is no wannabe or knock-off. It’s a solid racer with lots of destruction, good physics, and awesome online play. »

« Even the Destruction Derby Arenas and Ragdoll Mini Games are all online playable for you! »

« FlatOut 2 is a blast to play. Apart from some of the AI troubles, there is really nothing wrong with this game. It is a great title that has variety, character, and great graphics and gameplay to go along with it. »

« FlatOut 2 may not do much to improve the formula that the original created, but it refines it, deepens it, and adds so much stuff to do that you won't find yourself nearly as tired of things as soon as the first effort. It's not new, no, but it's a blast. »

« The game features all of the best aspects of all of the best racing games of our youth – all packaged in kick-ass visuals and audio, and with online play to boot. Racing fans rejoice; FlatOut 2 is a total blast, and well worth every penny. »

« One hell of a fun racing game. Sure, many of its elements feel a tad generic, like the track and character design, but what it really comes down to is the racing itself and Bugbear has done a great job at drawing a line between control and complete chaos. »

« A very enjoyable racer. It's not a game you'll still be playing in a few years, but in the meantime its destructible racing at its best. »

« If FlatOut 2 proves anything it's that there's room for more than one type of racer that strongly encourages wreckage at every twist and turn, and it's refreshing to see that despite EA's undeniable might smaller developers are willing to have a go at competing, often showing them a thing or two about game design in the process. »

« “It’s simply a wonderful game for those who want a destructive racing game, with realistic graphics and destruction that makes it one of the best car games for me »

« I had never played FlatOut 2 on Playstation and I accidentally rated the Playstation version of this game, but Metacritic doesn't allow me to delete the review for some reason. So I'll just duplicate a review of mine for the PC version: "Honestly, I do remember no racing game with such unusual gameplay. All the game modes were pretty interesting, especially the mode where you should throw your driver to gain points".points". »

« Amazing game with a lot of content, fun and carnage. I am not a big fan of racing games, not at all, but the only exception for me, is FlatOut 2. The different game modes, the amount of stuff to do, the great variety in cars, it is just perfect. In FlatOut 2, you can choose three modes to play. You can finish traditional races, in which you race for first place, you can choose derby mode (my personal favorite), in which you try to wreck other players or bots in a arena style battle, and lastly, you got a ton of minigames, in which you yeet out your ragdoll driver to make him perform certain tricks, smash him against a target, throw him as far as you can. It is just so much fun. The game is simple, easy to understand and a little silly, but that is the whole charm of it. It plays great, the controls are responsive, and this is the only racing game in which I feel that I am in control. The graphics still look impressive for the time. The detail in the cars, the damage that you took which is reflected on your car and the tire marks all look great. The framerate is smooth as ever and overall, there is nothing to complain about. The sound effects of roaring engines, the crash sounds and the braking, all sounds great. The rocking music when playing derby mode is also amazing. Like mentioned, the controls are fluent. The handling and grip is very good and for once, I felt like I was not driving on ice, but just a dirt road with some traction. The mini games are hilarious. You need to throw your player as close to a certain target as possible for example, so you need to hit a road block in a certain way, with a certain speed to make it happen. The janky animations when your dude flies out of the window is just so silly and stupid, that it made me laugh many times. This game will keep you entertained for many hours and for its price, it offers a lot of content and replay value. FlatOut 2 is one of the games I always play on LAN Parties and it never stops being fun. The derby mode remains my all time favorite and traditionally, we end our play session by letting the game crash when we wrecked each other at the same time in the middle of the arena, with the Batmobile. Definitely recommend this game. »

« One of the coolest car games the PS2 has ever had, it's only towards the end of the circuit racing game that the game doesn't get so cool »

« This is THE worthy spiritual successor to Destruction Derby on PS1: Each track is filled with destructible content like chairs, tables, windows, parking cars, barrels, greenhouses and so on. Sometimes you can take a shortcut though a shop and drive everything from inside on to the streets. The handling is good for you, if you are fed up this exact high-tech racing and sports cars, but want to ride a broad old road cruiser through the cities, swamps, canyons and forests. And the heaps of game modes, from normal races, bowl races (stadium racing tracks where the first cars cross the road of the later ones), destruction mode to the specials, where you try to toss your driver out of the front window as far, high or precise as possible (aim on a dart board, bowling track or similar) is great. The downsides are the high difficulty and the possible frustration that could derive out of that: Luckily you are allowed to repeat the tracks as often as possible even without loading screen punishing you for that. You will have to do it often, because in the beginning you car is slow, the opponents crash each other as often as they crash your car, and when you are first, but hit some broken road sign that you or an opponent put there last round, you might be last pretty fast. The good thing is, if you get used to being not always first, you earn also money by crashing opponents or road obstacles, so you can drive until you tuned your car that well, that you might win some race some day. Anyway, great, full and dirty crash game. Something very different from the, in comparison, rather clean, sleek and empty Burnout series. »

« Excellent!!! I like FlatOut 2 very much. It drags on for a long time. This game is not only for car lovers, many will like it. »
