Both FlatOut games looked good, reviews were fine and many fans raved about them. I don't know why, but I think they are simply not fun and I've tried both on PC and Xbox. FlatOut 2 tried to be the offroad Burnout, but it was not nearly as fun. I really hope they fix this major flaw with the gameplay for the X360 rendition.

I think the main thing the original had lacking was bit of gloss, a bit of a professional finish would have worked wonders. The gameplay was fun (although the handling could be tweaked a bit), and hte idea is still strong and (fairly) unique.

the idea was great and it was a very good live game, but i found the handling just a tad too sensitive.
i do have high hopes for this though |

hmm the handling was a bit too sensitive so it took along time on ice to even finish the races, not instantly as accessible as burnout but a good couple of games.
The minigames were fun and of course mrrick seems to have forgotten that you didn't have to play them at all. A next gen version will definitely be on my list of games to watch :) |

Enjoyed both previous versions - think most of the polish missing is in the lack of voiced over audio. Would have loved Hill-Billy redneck Old timer doing voice over for mud tracks in country - couple of stories about daring moonshine runs an stuff mixed in with commentary on your driving.
"Last time I saw someone jump that far in a pickup was when me an old Billy-Bob..yada yada yada with loads of different ones to avoid repetition" and some Ridge-Racer esque comments on cornering etc - surely decent audio must be the cheapest way to improve a product - certainly Flat Out franchise would benefit massively. |

Prefered the first to the second purely because the scenery and debris were a lot heavier. If you drove over an engine in the first rendition, you felt it.
I loved the handling of the cars in the first! And the lack of 'polish'! It made it feel like a banger-race which is what I thought made it all the more enjoyable...racing around in big old 70's-esque yank-tanks crashing through fences was a great laugh. Just hope they return to their roots a little instead of moving into the already way-over-done 'Need For Speed/Fast and Furious' area...
