Did not like:
- The soundtrack is weaker than in the original game
- Wrong "weight" of objects on the road
- Lack of photo mode
- Lack of rewind "back" in the replay of the race
- A lot of soap in the main menu
- An unupdated Microsoft live client that makes it impossible to start the game
Conclusion:
A worthy remake of FlatOut 2, in which many tracks have been recreated up to the exact location of the stones on the road. Plays pretty well. And even though the game is already 14 years old, the graphics still look decent!
In addition to adding new tracks, the pool of opponents has been expanded in the game. And if earlier Tyler pissed you off, now Ley and Jill will be your constant opponents - that professionally and ideally pass the tracks on any of the cars available to them. What's nice is that the AI of opponents has also improved, now they can try to knock you off the track, deliberately slow down in front of your car, and also group up several opponents to slow you down.
From the sad, the soundtrack of the game was changed. And although it still includes interesting tracks - but the former fuse from Rob Zombie has already disappeared.
There is also a small oversight in which the game does not start the installation of Microsoft Life. And accordingly does not allow players to run the purchased game. But if the player guesses to independently go to the game directory and install the required program, then everything will work. And there will be achievements...
I recommend this game to arcade racing fans who want to have a nice evening with the memories of "that time"
