FlatOut 2 Image
  • Summary: Featuring an enhanced version of the original's physics engine with even faster driving track designs, FlatOut 2 also boasts numerous improvements, enhancements and additions to make the title the definitive FlatOut experience. Twice as many vehicles, a more sophisticated career mode, additional race environments, double the number of tracks, twice as many mini-games along with brand new and much requested online multiplayer modes are just some of the exhaustive features that are included in FlatOut 2. With more than 5,000 fully destructible objects on every track as well as 40 deformable parts on each vehicle, physical interaction in a racing game is taken to unprecedented heights. With a greater emphasis placed on causing destruction on the track by offering greater rewards, game play will be even more frantic than ever. Drivers will need to tear into competitors' cars, trash the local scenery, litter the track with obstacles, while at the same time trying to concentrate on their own race in a bid to cross the line first. The ever-popular Ragdoll mini-games from the original FlatOut game make a welcome return and are better than ever with 12 Ragdoll events, a Ragdoll Championship and full online support. New Ragdoll events include basketball, baseball and royal flush cards. [Empire Interactive] Expand

  1. Good choice of rock music in the playlist.
  2. An outrageous orgy of twisted metal and flying debris. The races are fast and furious. Too bad the AI drivers cheat to keep the races exciting. [Aug 2006, p.28]
  3. FlatOut 2 seems a little too slick for its own good in spots, but it still manages to provide plenty of destructive racing fun.

    A magnificent game and quite possibly the best arcade racer ever made. If your a fan of intense fender to fender action then you owe it to yourself to pick up this game. Computer AI is believably aggressive and at times very difficult to beat. The city and rural landscapes are stunningly beautiful and almost totally destructible. By the end of a race the track will be thoroughly trashed and your car will be a twisted shadow of its former self. Unlike the NFS games (Underground and Most Wanted) this racer runs smooth as silk on my Athlon64 4000+ with Ati x850xt pcix and 2 gigs of ram. Awesome and highly recommended! Expand

    If you loved the first flatout, you'll have fun with this sequel. Is fondamental the same game with more tracks, more cars, and speed improvement... I'd call it Flatout 1.5 more than Flatout 2. For all people who don't know the game... Well, it's a fast arcade racing game. Good job with the graphic engine (the game run smoothly also with older pc..), good physic (it's powered by Havok), decent A.I., and good multiplayer. The fact is that Flatout 2 want to be the Burnout for the PC... And, honestly, the Criterion Game for the consoles remains the KING of the racing arcade games! Expand

    After Playing Flatout 2, I was actually quite appauled at what the series had evolved in to.. The Racing stages are much the ssame - although now there is a 'Streetracing' Section to the game... Very Original and the Stunt Events have been made well - Unplayable in my opinion - replacing your car with a 'High Powered Rocket Car' and adding obsticles not only on the track - but in th air; no longer in highjump will it record the highest peak of your jump - but the height in which you hit the net.. The Game has gone downill... And I for one - don't like it. Expand
