FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage Collector's Edition

Yes i would recommend this to you because its one of the best racing games ever made in my opinion

Positive review.

1

One of the best racing games ever! Fun modes, a lot of chaos and detailed destruction. Nice one! Do not buy the thrid or the fourth game - instant buyers remorse!

it's still there in game. iykyk. for that i give 10 out of 10.

Better in every possible way than Flat Out 2
(except the multiplayer sadly)

Very simple. Physics suck, but are pretty classic old-school, so it feels like one of those kind of games. Not to serious, smash em up is fun, the races are hard but random things happen, or you can crash out the leaders. Its another good brainless distraction, and I feel like its gonna get better. Less than 5 bucks, worth it.

I like hitting women with my car. F*ck you Lei Bing, f*cking c*nt!

Solid car game. To those who play it though, beware of random rocks in bushes. And Jack. Watch out for Jack.

8/10

I forgot how much I hate Jack Benton

After the recent patch that removed Live For Windows, added support for Steam achievements and made this game playable on modern devices, including Steam Deck, I have my utmost respect and support for Bugbear Entertainment, who care for their entire library of games, including their legacy library of games that came out over a decade ago. If you love great games, Flatout, Flatout 2, Flatout Ultimate Carnage and Wreckfest are 100% worth the price.

Bugbear's show of support for their legacy content shows that they care for their consumers, hence I bought Wreckfest 2 Early Access.

FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage Collector's Edition is when racing turns into a full-on destruction show! Improved graphics, even more chaos, and that signature insane atmosphere we love about FlatOut. Cars get smashed, drivers go flying, tracks break apart – just the way it should be! If you’re looking for ultimate thrill and adrenaline, this edition is an absolute blast!

For me this is the perfect racing game. The races feel fast, the enviroment feels alive (thanks to many destructable props and different routes you can take), the other drivers have their own names and character models wchich adds so much personality to the game (especially that you and them might get wrecked If received enought damage), and I absolutely love the soundtrack.

i thought this game was great until i got Flatout 2. just get that instead. it's miles better than this

nostalgia

One of the best games of its kind (destruction racers). Basically the OG Flatout 2 with upgraded physics and polished graphics + more destructible objects and 4 new characters to race against. I've played tens if not hundreds of hours of this game when it came out and this is a nice way to experience the sheer joy of full-speed crushing into enemies and watching their cars blow up like fireworks once again after more than a decade.

Honestly the game looks pretty good even today (there are newer games that aged much worse) and driving model, although it is rather simple, is still fun even after years.

I tried Wreckfest couple of years back, because that was supposed to be the spiritual successor of the series after literally one of the worst games ever that was Flatout 3 and still average-at-best Flatout 4, but I didn't find it very fun or interesting even though it looks really good and physics and destruction models are much more advanced. I also tried Trail Out, which looks similar, but ultimately decided to get back to this masterpiece.

For 4e in sale, there is no reason to not buy it. It's still hella fun.

Great, fun game, they don't make games like these anymore.

I miss this era of arcade racing games. I played the PSP version of this exact game growing up, titled "FlatOut: Head On" - If you ever played that, this is quite literally the exact same game. Just good dumb fun, turn your brain off and go for the biggest crashes you can

much fun would recommend if you enjoy aggressive racing & derbys

It's basically FlatOut 2 Directors Cut. Still a fun (also frustrated) racing games to play. Gonna try wreckfest after this.

One of the best derby racers out there, fun and addictive classic

It is superb, in my humble opinion.

Great fun! A classic!

Amazing game. First time I played it back in 2009...on my grandfather's desktop computer...It was and still is so much fun
And it works well on my weak laptop with dual core cpu and a GT720M

There are reasons I have all achievements in this game, that reasons being that this game good, the other one being nostalgia.

I took this game thinking it will be some what like Burnout Paradise, but its kind of shit, not enjoying it at all. The AI too, races in a such a way that it makes it pretty obvious that they are not bound to any sort of vehicle speed or movement limits. You can have the fastest car and the ai will brush past you like a breeze with the slowest car, sometimes it will just slow down before the finish line and sometimes just zoom past me at the finish line. Neither do i feel like my vehicle is constrained to any driving style, it can be just flying around, get butt stuck to another car in front of me, all kind of random shit basically. Graphics are fine. But overall, this doesn’t even give me the slightest rush, like Paradise gives me

CTR Sport, Vexter XS, and Bullet GT are my 3 Favorite Cars

its pretty nice game but has problem at some points
- AI somehow gets stuck at some places and dosent respawn
- somehow a enemy from actual game somehow is my best friend at getting records (its the railing around some of the maps and walls because it just pushes you and you can just have one gear and do easy wall run)
- replayability is gone because well you cannot play with other people thro online while the original lets you play thro and well its reason why the game wont die out sooner than this game with dosent have multiplayer online
- i hate the time trials as i could just reverse and make my top speed high soo it just makes it easier and i liked stunts more than the time trials yet i guess its skill issue to those who dont know how to do stunts
- THE CARNAGE MODE IS ANNOYING cause it LOCKS some vehicles and if IF YOU do that first you just unlock the better vehicles and just can finish the sport class with the 4x4 big truck
- and i hate people that complain about the Flatout 2´s graphics
- and some vehicles are broken...
- music... shit... had to use workshop to put on Flatout 2´s music...
- music suddenly fucking turns off
- out of no where lags and when you play some maps for while they suddenly get A MASSIVE decrease in FPS making it UNPLAYABLE
- no special cutscene about you finished the championships
- bugs tons of bugs

+ its cool to have more vehicles and some new opponents
+ maps did got some changes... small changes...

and thats all overall
i think the Flatout 2 is much better than Carnage due to replayability cause if you finish the game really quick you get lefted out with just.... single event... and its all you can do....

The Goat got even better.

OMG, this works perfectly on Steam Deck and brings old memories. I was never being able to play Ultimate Carnage back in the days as it required better PC than FlatOut 2

If this is your first flatout game i recommend it. I dont recomended it if you played flatout 2. It's kinda dissapoiting that this game is basicly 2 but with better graphics, no yellow filter, balance tweaks and the most important cranage mode which is great. For 100% maybe this is easy game to do this but i think the thing that would be a headache is stunts. Some love it, some hate it. Im in the 2 group. Handling in flatout games is very specific. Overall 7/10

FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage Collector's Edition

Amazing game! You won't even really notice it's from 2008 if you don't know the release date. A gem.

A masterpiece of shite

As good as original Flatout: Ultimate Carnage but really missing the online play... In my oppinion it is a very big mistake ruining otherwise great game.
Online should be added for sure even if it was just LAN mode.

Also i appreciate there is afaik no missing diacritique in Czech language unlike in Flatout 2...

A perfect soundtrack, the best racing physics. Driving has never been so fun

best racing game ever made easily

the most fun racer i have ever played ... one of 3 games i come back to play a round since over a decade :D

In my top 5 racing games of all time.

Best Remake of the best racing game for me!

good game

Played it a lot when was young. Thanks for the game.

I played this a lot when i was a kiddo. Now i am playing it again and its still awesome.

doo doo fart

Epic game much recommend

Great childhood game, plays nicely even in 2025.

if i could refund this, i would. but i already sunk enough hours that its illegible for that now. im never fucking buying old games like this again even without the nonexistent nostalgia value. i already tried Need For Speed and that was its own problems.

this game has legit FUCKING BULLSHIT UNFAIR RUBBERBANDING AI that ruins the fun of this game, combined with your car being slower that its actual near impossible to catch up with them after the second lap. not even using nitro to help barely gives enough distance to reach them. the controls are god awful, tight fucking slippery shit it makes you feel you're fighting against the system to perform a drift without hitting a wall and losing momentum. didnt wanna use mods to adjust the difficulty so i played with the vanilla ai, yet even then i cant even stay in 1st without some dickhead rear ending me every 20 seconds and causing me to crash, restarting the race over again.

i spent over 2 hours trying to come 1st on the water canal track on level 2 and could not even place in the top 3 of the first lap. even coming lower than 5th on the last 2 tracks in the grandprix is automatically a fail. fully upgraded my car, BARELY FUCKING HELPED that even getting another car and trying that out didnt work either. i only did it once but afterwards i couldnt replicate it, fucking rng bs.

oh and let me mention the performance issues - framerate is so choppy that after awhile it feels so unpolished. i tried to enjoy this game, i really did try to. but hours im sick of this crap.

yeah, fun for the first 2 hours then legit becomes an unenjoyable experience that just ruins the game.
