Better than NFS Payback (other than drifting physics). Map design was really great. Driving Physics was really fine for a need for speed game. Car variation is good. Why wings are so big?!

Finally played it in 2024, after 18. Never had an Xbox to play it. Now i played it on Emulator, there are some graphical glitches, but completely playable.
The game is super fun, the only thing that i don't like, you have to get respect by doing side activities to play story missions, and side activities are fun at first, but they get repetitive.

Nothing (other than graphics) improved since true masterpiece Flatout 2, actually gameplay got worse and it's less fun.

2016

There are better games in this genre, But this game is unique and fun, 100% worth playing.

Not as great as GTA IV Main Story.

Nothing Special, but it was fun.

I give it a solid 5 stars.

Pros:

1- Great story.
2- Great gameplay.
3- Great mission design.
4- Great map design.
5- Great character design.
6- Great music.

Cons:
1- Sometimes texture doesn't load instantly and it takes time to load, even on a high speed SSD, good GPU and CPU.
2- Bugs that made the game crash 4 times during gameplay. One of those crashes was a hard crash in which there was no way other than to restart the PC.
3- Weak Anti-Aliasing Options. It seems the game needs more AA while I set all options at max.
4- Maybe 30 FPS Cap? But that was not a problem for me, since the game is not a hardcore shooter or fastpace, etc...
5- I wish the game was more atmospheric and stylized.
6- Game quality gets worse at higher resolution than 1080p, which i never seen in any other game! Weird! I have a 1920 x 1200 monitor, but the picture quality was best at 1680 x 1050!
6- Driving physics is very bad!

* Played On AMD Ryzen R5 5500 + AMD RX 590 + 16GB 3200MHz DDR4 Ram, Max Settings.

A bug didn't let me finish the game. :(
If you like sonic type games, you will like it.

Simply NFS Underground 3. NFS Carbon is a better game, but this game is fun in its own way.

2001

Very good for a 2001 game.

This game is great. Great Boss Fights, not too hard, not too easy, perfectly challenging. Every mission is different from anothers that makes game realy fun from firs second to last.
Surely on my top 3 games from Rockstar Games, along GTA IV and Bully.

Very bad game from Rockstar that everyone says it's underrated. Very boring. Level design is really bad. Boss Fights are not fun. All the enemies are the same, no special moves or something that make an small change in what you should do, anything other than pressing X multiple times. Graffiti drawing is really annoying when the game asks you to do it more than 5 times of same mini game in single missions.

The Story is good and is based on 1979 movie, but it is not the same story, it starts before the movie story. The story has time paradox, but it's not that bad.

100% Arcade Style, No Skill Required!
Graphics are very good for a 2017 game.
Wish the game was more challenging.
The tuning is stupid, nfs undercover style tuning was very better. Body parts are not diverse enough and unlocking them are on a very slow pace.

Demon's Soul is a better game in comparison, sure. But we are not here to compare games, we are here to enjoy them, so this game is a game you should play, but if you played one of other similar games (demon's soul, other DS Games, elden ring,...), make sure you have longer time gap between them than me, play some other games, because if you don't you gonna hate it, you gonna burn out and leave it uncompleted.
