FlatOut is a high-octane racing game developed by Bugbear Entertainment and released in 2004. Known for its intense crashes and realistic physics engine, the game delivers destructive racing action across dirt tracks, city circuits, and stunt arenas. Unlike traditional racers, FlatOut emphasizes vehicular damage and aggressive driving, rewarding players for smashing opponents and surviving chaotic pileups.
The game features a variety of cars ranging from junkyard beaters to powerful muscle vehicles. Its standout element is the advanced ragdoll physics system, which allows drivers to be dramatically ejected from their cars during high-speed crashes. In addition to standard races, players can compete in demolition derby events and stunt mini-games that challenge them to launch their driver for distance or accuracy.
With detailed damage modeling, dynamic tracks, and competitive AI opponents, FlatOut provides an adrenaline-fueled arcade racing experience. Its blend of speed, destruction, and humor made it a fan favorite among early 2000s racing enthusiasts.
