FlatOut is about to join those ranks, perhaps not with the same bang as a Half-Life 2, but with a definite and satisfying crunch of twisted metal.īased loosely on the world of amateur stock-car racing, FlatOut is a straightforward racer with the one advantage of having fantastic physics.

All the most exciting games of the moment -Half-Life 2 on PC, Burnout 3 and Psi-Ops on console - are those that apply physics in interesting ways, creating worlds full of exaggerated kinesis and explosive cause-and-effect. They've taken their sweet time about it, but games developers are finally waking up to the potential of physics engines in games.
