Driving for destruction.

FlatOut 2, an entertaining racing game full of dynamic destruction paired with hard-rocking in-game soundtrack featuring such artists as Rob Zombie and Papa Roach, is available for only $9.99 on GOG.com.

Experience the drive of your life as you throw yourself around on and off the track causing fences to shatter, tyre walls explode, water tanks and barrels fly across the track into other cars. And if anyone, including you, gets caught up in a big smash sit back and watch as the driver gets catapulted through the windscreen in spectacular effect. With over 5000 destructible objects on each track and 40 deformable pieces on every car sparks are guaranteed to fly increasing the mayhem with every lap! 



FlatOut 2 features an enhanced version of the original's lauded physics engine and even faster driving track designs. It also boasts a plethora of improvements, enhancements and additions to make this the definitive FlatOut experience. 34 different vehicles to wreck, a complex career mode, additional race environments, and 60 track combinations--all for your extreme driving pleasure. Pair that withmany mini-games along with online multiplayer modes and what you get is one of the most exciting vehicular mayhem games in existance!

Put the pedal to the metal and start that adrenaline pumping in FlatOut 2, for only $9.99, on GOG.com.

Awesome stuff, thank you GOG!
I have retail edition and I can say the game is helluva fun.

jamyskis: Does the GOG German version have the 'censored' crash dummies? It was possibly the only typically German censorship that ended up being the better version! :)
I already own Flatout 2 from an other digital distributor and the german version was not censored. I didn't even know that there is a uncensored german version existing. But I can't say which version the GOG version is.

Jakov: 'censored' crash dummies..what an awesome idea
Yes because crash dummies are usually naked. ^^

A good release but...this isn't the best version of the game available

Flatout: Ultimate Carnage is technically the same game but with improved graphics and extra content, why didn't GOG release that game here instead?

Games for Windows Live is probably the reason.

^This

Literally the only advantage I can see to this version is the soundtrack as it has people you've heard on it as opposed to the (Steam Version of) UC that has some very generic sounding bands I'd never heard of

I think its cheeky enough they sell both versions on Steam let alone potentially do the same here if UC comes as well

On the other hand, I'm not sure I can NOT recommend even a lower-def version of possibly my favourite racing game ever, although you might want to wait to see if UC does turn up unless your ears are more important to you then your eyes!

Oh and this means the last ever Enigmatic hint game finally turned up too - I feel I have closure now!
Goodbye Enigmatic hints *sob*

I'd assumed that the end of GFWL was why these were finally turning up at all actually - so Flatout 2 didn't have it?

(oh and it was purely OPTIONAL for leader boards and achievements in UC before anyone says that its a reason this version is superior!)

No, Flatout 2 never had GFWL but Ultimate Carnage does and since it is a form of DRM I would think that right there excludes it from consideration for GOG. Once GFWL formally shuts down permanently maybe this game too will have it removed but that's being done on a case by case basis by individual publishers/developers so who knows.

Hopefully they are not mutually exclusive. Maybe have both?

I think it makes sense for GOG to have the full series, whenever possible.

Odd question, I should be able to run this game on my OS but I'll have to turn a lot of the settings way down. Some games are so good this doesn't make a difference yet some turn to shit when you don't have all the bells and whistles. Anyone here played this care to comment?

I was able to play it on IGP (Radeon HD 4200) without problems. ;)

I wish i could forget :p

In windows > settings > device manager > display adapters.
I really think that's the issue, i have a semi budget pc too which was around 400-600 euro around 4 years ago i believe.
Had trouble getting alot of stuff to run too, but then i got a (cheap) geforce 430 gt and made a real difference.
Rather then a whole new computer it might just do to replace the card.
Also always have your current graphic card updated to the latest driver offcourse.
