Summary
Get ready to race one of 16 upgradeable cars on 45 challenging tracks. Each environment in FlatOut is fully destructible, so you'll see all the damage you cause in broken fences, free-rolling trees, and mangled car parts; not to mention your own vehicle. A championship mode lets you battle through a wide variety of races, minigames, and destruction arenas. The game also features online and multiplayer modes, which let you challenge your close friends or the best racers in the world.

Critic Reviews39
Mixing the party-friendly mini-games with Xbox Live and offline multiplayer may be enough to warrant a purchase, provided you're able to temper your single-player expectations.

Despite the flaws, and perhaps the slight over reliance on the "extreme physics" in order to gain a few more sales, Flatout is a quite solid, if never spectacular racing title. If you can work your way through the slow start, once the faster, more powerful cars become available to you, you'll be a very happy man (or woman).

Despite its flaws, and perhaps a slight over-reliance on gravitational nuance in order to bolster sales, Flat Out is not entirely a 'flat' racing experience; it's always entertaining, and never less than appealing.
