The original Flat Out remains one of my favourite racing games, (I also race GTR2 and rFactor competitively). For me though, Flat Out 2 was a big let down. They completely ruined the actual driving experience. The physics should be the most important thing in a racing game. FO2 felt like the tyres and the road had nothing to do with each other.
I can't help feel that this next FO will just be more of the same experience. I will certainly check it out though, on the strength of some of their developers postings on their forums, in which they state that they weren't happy with the dumbing down of the game. I only hope that it is those people who are listened to this time around.
It does look nice enough, but without the gameplay I'd shelved FO2 within a few days. I won't be making the mistake of buying this version (if it's coming to PC - don't have a console) until I've tried it.
