    Ive been playing it for a while and noticed no one talks about it for some reason on NBR :confused:

    It doesnt have the greatest graphics/handling but runs pretty darn smooth and has great detail for even medium settings. And racing mixed with bashing cars = :cool: and great fun.

    Anyways. I have been trying to change settings around and looking for a way to change settings with various high low and med vs just low just high or just medium.

    I'm playing it as well and I'm loving it. :D Not much people know about it when compared GRID or NFS series but I think it's a pretty entertaining game. I find it more enjoyable than GRID.

    It's basically a better version of Flatout 2 (4 more cars, better driver AI imo, the handling is slightly better than Flatout 2 imo, same tracks but with better graphics and more objects to hit.. ;) ) but hey even though I played through Flatout 2 two times already I still find this very fun... :p

    Runs great on my notebook too on max settings at 1680x1050 no AA with about 40-50fps.

    :D finally someone else who plays this game. I was thinking of buying a xbox 360 controller just for this game as it runs VERY well for a 360 port ( i believe its a port)

    Yea it is a port and I agree it's a good one. I'm quite happy with the keyboard controls. :) I've always been using keyboard controls for all my racing games even though I do have a controller... For some reason I just seem to play better with my keyboard... :rolleyes:

    It's just slightly updated version of Flatout 2.
    Though I still completed it. Carnage mode was fun, too bad there was no LAN option in the game..
    8600M GT run with all maxed out @ 1280x800 with solid 60fps.
