NO ONLINE MULTIPLAYER. Disregard my thumbs down if that doesn't matter to you and change it into thumbs up. For me, easily one of the most fun arcade racing games ever. + gameplay + soundtrack + damage and destruction model + minigames and derbies - predictable AI BUT, there is one huge but. The online multiplayer for this game is disfunctioned (at least officially). And with multiplayer being the main trait of the racing games like this for me, I cannot recommend it.Show moreShow less
Better than CS:GOShow moreShow less
While the first game was hard, FlatOut 2 is beyond easy & hard. It is arbitrary, luck decides if you win or not and you as the player have little influence on that. There are two main issues The engine/the car behaviour You cannot predict how your car will react during a jump or hitting an obstacle. Sometimes it runs smoothly, sometimes you will lose your position or advantage. Therefore there is little space in getting better or master the game, because you don't get proper feedback which action benefits you and which one will be punished. You will find at the bottom a video I've done about two stunts. The only thing I do is pressing throttle without pausing it, so there is no room for variation. I do this in both stunts. Two exact same actions from the player result in different outcomings. The AI/your opponents Some of them are trolls, not interested in winning the race just ramming other cars and putting themselves at the tail end while giving you a hard time. The other extreme are the flawless ones, usually using one of the higher level cars which you have to unlock first. Catching up with them happens rarely. They usually drive clean and boost forwards if you are getting close. Starting at the last position puts you in huge disadvantage against those. The other thing is that the AI adapts to you. Are you driving faster or have you upgraded your car? They get better as well, so the difficulty seems to stay stable. At least to a certain point. Buying a new car with much better values makes the races easier, but not as much as I expected. Some small annoyances -The starting position varies, but most times I got the last place or something near that. -Later in the game you may have to repeat races a couple times to collect the amount of money to buy a car you've just unlocked. Winning all level 1 races doesn't guarantee you having enough money for a Level 2 car. -Strangely a Level 1 car isn't necessary good enough to compete in Level 1 races. I once had to grind for a better one and repeated the races. -NPCs get fixed cars from the start of a class and some of them get ones from a higher tier. It would be fairer if everyone would use a car from the same level. All in all: Driving good doesn't get rewarded, you need a certain amount of luck. Both, losses and victories, felt cheap and latter one never satisfied me. I was just relieved to be done with the current race. Now the most important point: Does this all make the game unenjoyable? It depends. Are you looking for a serious racing game? Is anything but 1st place not an option to you? Then skip this one. It started pretty easy and was fun, but the further I got into the game the more the races turned into bitter and teeth-gnashing hours of retries which felt more like playing roulette and waiting until the ball hits your number. If you don't care about the mentioned issues, because just beating the game is enough for you or you just want to have a bit random wacky car physics fun, you might want to try it. At least it won't hurt as long as you don't take it too seriously and bite your teeth into it. Video: https://youtu.be/y9nAsEfCIX8Show moreShow less
No way we got flatout 2 update before gta 6Show moreShow less
Nostalgia can backfire I remembered this to be a fun game, but now when I played it again for the first time in several years I was quickly reminded of its shortcomings. Flatout 2 is the only car game I know of where you are punished if you drive fast and have consistent lap times. Because by doing so you make the AI opponents drive even faster. For example. You are flat out 200 km/h with nitro boost, then out of nowhere an AI car comes flying past you... So to win in the later stages you have to convert the races to destruction derbies. In multiplayer its not possible to add AI opponents. The driving itself is fun so if this game is on sale, go forth and buy it, but otherwise, let this game die as you remembered it.Show moreShow less
FlatOut 2 is quite an experience. I used to have this years ago on my PS2, and after getting it here on Steam, it's exactly as I remember. There is plenty of crashing and destruction to go around, and I wouldn't expect any less from this series. It's better than FlatOut 1 in the fact that there are better/more cars to choose from, and the same with tracks, but not with free roam. In the first FlatOut, you were able to go backwards on tracks and drive around the area. You sadly can't on this game, but the racing is still fun nonetheless. As for the demolition derbies, they are also plenty of fun. It's nice when a game isn't too easy, so I do like the fact that there is a contact timer of about 44 seconds, meaning you have to smash into someone at some point. The AI is also certainly smarter than the first FlatOut, thus adding to the difficulty of derbies and races. It only has 3 more derby arenas than the first one, for a total of 6, so there certainly could have been a few more arenas. Lastly, you have the minigames. There are oddities such as Royal Flush, Baseball, Bowling, and a few others where you have to fling yourself out of the car. These are pretty entertaining with friends, but you will likely get bored by yourself quickly. All in all, this is still a lot of fun for a game released in 2006.Show moreShow less
