It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 96 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage Collector's Edition ($19.99, scores 72) and FlatOut 2 ($9.99, scores 95) both outscore it.

What players say
I think the sentence that would describe the acquisition of this 'game' best is that you didn't buy a game, you got yourself a day job. Somehow a game that's supposed to offer dumb hight speed derby fun gives you the exact opposite. The devs of this thing must have a doctorate in removal of fun. The tracks are treacherous and unforgiving, the cars are boring. Fun is punished, you have to drive cleanly and precisely...
The mechanics are absolutely awful, the car randomly flies off of the track, and it often fails to steer or brake. Also, there is not that much diversity in the tracks you're racing on. Too bad, the graphics are quite nice though.
Flat2vr chose THIS flatout game to convert? this game feels like I am driving an rc car. The physics only works sometimes ramdomly flipping you on a blade of grass. The graphics at MAX are terrible. the damage system might as well not show anything. because all you get is a slightly bent and squished car/texture. why couldn't flat2vr do flatout 2? ITS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS PIECE OF TRASH!
