Default FlatOut 2

FlatOut 2 is probably the best racing/driving simulator game I've ever played! On the recommendation from a buddy, I downloaded the demo here, and WOW!! Don't know why I didn't find out about this game sooner! Will buy the full game very soon. For people who like driving simulators, this a VERY fun and entertaining game! Download the demo!!

I wouldn't call this a simulation :P

The game is very fun, I have both the PS2 version and PC version of Flatout, and have Flatout 2 on steam as well. Very fun game, I highly recommend it - if you have a joypad ;)

Ya, this is totally arcade. I mentionned it a while ago, the graphics were very nice for the time and it runs great even on mid-range cards. :)

I could run it at max settings at 1280x1024 with about an average of 20 FPS on my old 9600XT :D Now with the 8800GTS :O

Yeah with my BFG 8600GT, gameplay pretty good, but for some reason when ever I go off a jump, frames go down to around 2-3 a second. Other than that.....

Looks pretty decent, but to be completely honest, there's absolutely nothing out there right now that can hold a candle to Forza 2. It's not on PC but my 360 hasn't been happier in a very long time. I actually haven't sat down on the comp to play anything in a week because of it ^^
