Seeing the reviews you would be forgiven for thinking this will not be a fun ride but I'm happy to say this definitely is.

Flatout 4 does have similarities to Flatout Ultimate Carnage (such a great arcade racer) and while this isn't F.U.C. 2017 it still retains enough of the Flatout flavour many arcade racers, including myself, enjoy.

Career mode, stunts, quick race and multiplayer are all here. Career mode has 3 different competition levels and classes of vehicles to unlock. Racing earns credits to purchase unlockables so plenty to keep you playing.

The vehicles handle pretty well and are fun to drive with only minor annoying moments which mainly revolve around the cars tending to slide on their sides a bit much which also points to the vehicles not being as weighty as in F.,U.C. This lack of weight is a bit of a step back from F.U.C but the racing is still fun but it's something to mention

Game performance is great.
Plays silky smooth in 4k using my GSYNC TV with VSYNC off on a 2080Ti.
Visuals are surprisingly good too. Game really presents very well.

Sounds are decent and serviceable. Not audiophile levels but ok. Music is similar to F.U.C's rock tracks which suit the gameplay. I think that if the audio quality/sound sampling was better it would further elevate the immersion.

Special mention about the nitro which is great both in how it performs and sounds. Nitro'ing out of a corner is both satisfying and a useful gameplay tactic to earn an advantage when you would otherwise crash.
The sense of speed is very well done and employing the nitro has that risk/reward factor which is good.

Track design is solid and visually appealing.Their are multiple choices of which path to choose on most tracks which helps keep it interesting.

AI is good and I can't see any rubberbanding/cheating. If you race clean and fast you will win well ahead which I like.

A new gameplay feature in some races is the addition of weapons (!!) and they are fuuuuun :)

This isn't Forza
This isn't Wreckfest
This is Flatout and it's good :)

An easy recommend.

u cant add bot in multiplayer since 2017, if u wanna play with friend, dont waste ur time on this one.
