  FlatOut 2, while not a major improvement over the first game, is still a quality demolition racer. The addition of more content in each and every mode is certainly a plus, and the driving still has a satisfyingly destructive vibe to it. It's just too bad that it doesn't have the same quirky, filthy vibe as the first game. Fortunately, there are still plenty of lovable qualities to be found in FlatOut 2, especially if all you want is the same basic racing gameplay as in the first FlatOut, but with a lot more of it.

  That said, don’t be turned off by the difficult controls right away. Once you get used to the steering and can take the corners, FlatOut 2 is an awesome racer with enough destruction and mayhem to last you awhile. And if you do get frustrated, the game provides plenty of ways to relieve stress - like launching your helpless driver into really hard objects.

  FlatOut 2 is one hell of a fun racing game. Sure, many of its elements feel a tad generic, like the track and character design, but what it really comes down to is the racing itself and Bugbear has done a great job at drawing a line between control and complete chaos. Definitely give this one a try if you're into racing games whatsoever.

  FlatOut 2 is one of the most chaotic racing games ever made. Whether you’re playing on or offline, you’ll be lucky if you can last two minutes on the track without eating twisted metal. But at the same time, half the fun is restarting each race without a clue as to what the course is going to throw at you, literally. If you like your racing games simulation-heavy, there isn’t enough customization here to keep you busy. But if you like to get dirt rubbed in your face, and then return the favor, we’ll see you at the starting line

  There's not exactly a flood of quality racing titles being released at the moment, so FlatOut 2's quality is really appreciated. The single-player Career won't take all that long to complete, but with a hugely entertaining multiplayer mode both on and offline, there's a good chance you'll continue playing for a while after. It's bound to get old eventually, but FlatOut 2 should offer a few good months of fun, to all but the most die-hard racing simulation lovers.

  Flat Out 2 n'est pas une révolution ni la référence des jeux de courses. Pourtant, si l'on accroche au style, on trouve en lui un très bon titre, plein d'humour et de variété. Que ce soit pour faire des courses, pour s'affronter dans des arènes ou pour faire joujou avec le corps du pilote, on s'amuse forcément, seul ou à plusieurs. Mission accomplie.
