The Flatout series was one of many arcade racers popular in the early-to-mid 2000s, and I have somewhat fond memories of them. The series was focused more on destruction, like Burnout, than pure racing. The second game's PC port, Ultimate Carnage, got an update on PC making it work better on modern systems, so I decided to revisit.

It's still fun - the bones of going fast and crashing into other cars will always be fun. And for a game originally from 2008, it looks fantastic. It controls well, and the racing and destruction feels good. That said, it's yet another arcade racer. There were tons of these games released in this era, and honestly, Burnout 3 and Paradise do pretty much everything this game does, but better. Not much reason to return to this one if you've got access to those.

Verdict: Uninstall
