Ever played those so-called driving simulators and just had this ridiculous urge to smash your car into your opponents rather than race down the track like you normally would?

This game fulfills that need. That cars feels like they have a lot of weight to them, so handling is a bit on the slower end - don't expect to be doing Ridge Racer/Burnout Paradise-style drifts around hairpin turns. On the flipside, if you can't drift around a turn, you can ram your car into that of your rivals and use them as a source of Boost/Nitro to speed past them!

This is basically a ".5" expansion of FlatOut 2 and a far more complete PC version. You have much higher res textures, better controller support, a more configurable launcher and options menu (windowed mode is in without the need for DxWnd!), more game modes, more cars, more simultaneous AI on the track - basically more of everything. The ONE main thing that is the sore point of this game is GfWL, and knowing that Bugbear and Empire Interactive pretty much split awhile back, this game's days are numbered, but this game really is the best version of FlatOut from someone who just wants the main game experience.

If you like this game, please support Bugbear Entertainment's spiritual successor named "Next Car Game"!
