I enjoyed FlatOut 2 mainly for those stunts. Those were so fun to play. It even had co-op.
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

I liked Flatout 1 and 2 but the horrid rubber banding AI really pissed me off. The AI would go out of their way to target the player car and ignore others
This game is not by bugbear, and is medicore at best. You have mobile games at this quality now. There is just NOTHING special about it. Its kinda like the last games, just without any soul and barely better gfx. Might remember wrong, but I actually think the two last flaout games had better physics than this one. Won a derby cup, and its easy being in front... but not any fun. You would think crashing into the other cars was fun, but its not, they seem to team up against you and have 2T heavier cars than you.
The game is better than the abysmal "Flatout" 3 (then again that was one of the worst racing games ever created so it isn't exactly a big achievement), but it's still noticeably inferior to the classic Flatouts in terms of...pretty much everything, while also sharing the same problems (AI).
It tries to be somewhere in-between a ghetto Burnout and Gas Guzzlers, minus all the fun, the graphics are simply awful with muddy/brownish palette and physics/collisions are massively gimped offering inferior technology to the first Flatout, a game released in 2004: another display of our "next gen" era in all its downgrade-based splendor. (@Deelix: indeed, it's not just your impression, the physics are definitely reduced simplistic almost visual-only effects).
After the flabby WRC games, the Kylotonn men have missed the mark once again, and with Bugbear stuck with their early access labyrint, we're all fucking then when it comes to the sub-genre. There's the upcoming Gravel as well, but..it's Milestone so hopes aren't exactly high.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
