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.
