Review: FlatOut

Back To Page 3

Icy Driving.

Conclusion

FlatOut is a blast to play, even for a hardcore sim racer like myself. It's a game with personality and a crazy charm that will win you over. It's rock solid and I've not experienced one single problem or crash (PC-wise I mean!) with the game itself. Best advice: get this game now!

Pro's:

  • Huge fun
  • Great graphics
  • Runs silky-smooth
  • Varied challenges and 3 game-modes
  • 16 different cars to drive and tune
  • Great handling (of the relaxed sort)

Con's:

  • No savable replays
  • No in car view (but available through mods)
  • No TCP/IP multiplay (but available through mods)
