This along with Urban Reign and Mashed form the holy trinty of local multiplayer games for the PS2.

8 Player Flatout 2 Minigames on Home Parties a good time. But be prepared to yell the name of the person who's turn it is through the entire house many times. Because nobody will wait 7 turns and just watch. They'll go get drinks or be playing another game in the meantime... it's just a hassle... but thats not the games fault.

There is racing too... doesn't affect me any.
