Rule #1 of Making a Successful Gaming Franchise: DON'T SELL IT TO A STUDIO KNOWN FOR PUMPING OUT SHOVELWARE.

Świetna gra, szczerze lepszej nie grałem w zyciu. Powinna wygrac Game Of All Time Awards. 10/10 totalny peak branzy gier wideo

FlatOut 3 Succeeds in nothing. Not in the visuals, not in the driving physics and mechanics, not in the soundtracks, nothing. I strongly advise you to stay away from this game.

this game is so horrible that i don't have enough words to describe it. dont buy this game, save your sanity and your money while you still can! =)

This is how developers downgraded Flatout series. Remember legendary Flatout 1, Flatout 2, Flatout: Head On (PSP port of Flatout 2) During the development of Flatout 3, they got rid of multi-platform, they made it PC-exclusive. Graphics are a bit outdated, gameplay is so buggy... It holds the title of "The Worst Racing Game of 2011"

potentially the worst game i have played outside of **** games. bad AI, bad physics, bad in general. Kind of funny because of how bad it is though so i'm not mad about it

Eto ebanyy pizdec

Absolute pile of ****. Playing it makes you cry. **** graphics, bad physics, horrible soundtracks and even more.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Not Bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ne heyecanla almıştım oyunun cdsini sonra yüjkledim 30 dk dayanamayıp sildim amina.

This game does not represent the saga. Bad Physics, controls and the rest is history...

the description of this game has to be like and really is Jsjsjajaksndixsdjxjsjdbhxxhshsusjsksosbdo

Everyone says this game is ass, and they are all right. It crashes more than every game I have on steam right now. And for 10 Gb, It looks ugly. And keep in Mind, I have not played the other Flatout games. So even people who haven't played the other games can still hate this game like me

Impossible to play, in this game everything was done wrong! The graphics are worse than in the first part, there is no physics

Игра просто хуже во всем прошлой части, графика стала просто ужасной для 2011 года тогда к примеру вышел Mortal Kombat. Гонки отвратительные добавили монстр -траки управляя которыми надо взрывать бочки! Дерби также плохое оно стало очень долгим.

Погана гра. Жахлива фізика, графіка, впринципі гра дуже погана в усіх аспектах. Музика ще так собі... Слухабельна. А от на картинку неприємно дивитися. Купив її поприколу)

Horrid physics and controls, laughably bad character and car designs, awful graphics, no windowed mode, and AI that is f**king stupid. This almost sounds like that it was an unfinished **** according to someone that managed to contact Team 6, this was actually an unfinished version of the game, and they accidentally released the unfinished version out by accident. By the time they realized, it was too late. They couldn't get the final product out because of Strategy First. Do I believe this? I do not know, how can you mess up a FlatOut game THIS BAD?! 1/10 The only thing not giving this a 0 is I cannot hear the awfulness that is FlatOut 3 because of Intel's incompetence of fixing Intel UHD 630 drivers. After hearing how awful the soundtrack and audio is in general, maybe this was for my own good...

As An Insult To The Flatout Series! One of My Favorite Game Series, And This Game Is Far Under Game 2 and 1.

A bad game, which have the Name Flatout but isn't good! It's a Punch in the Face for every Flatout-Fan. Horrible Gameplay, physics of the Cars, Graphics and lots more!!!

Просто скучно... Единственное, что забавляет это стычки, но и это быстро надоедает...

I'd give this game a lower rating, but there's a lot of charm in it, and also can get some ironic fun from its awfulness.

By far the best installment in the series. It even has a target FPS of 15! INCREDIBLE!

Drivable handling, enough maps, and electrifying soundtracks is a need on a racing game. This game have each one of them. With Flatout's iconic ragdoll cannonball windshields, this is the worst flatout game ever made but at least it's a great single player game rather than playing solitaire or mobile racing games.

Одна из НАИХУДШИХ игр в которые я играл! Эта игра не только недостойна называться "FlatOut",но и существовать тоже. Графика ужасная,хуже чем в прошлой части,как это возможно? Музыка в меню отстой,а в игре вообще нету .Во втором FlatOut музыка была идеальна подобрана,абсолютно весь саундтрек теперь в моём трек-листе. Геймплей убогий,появились новые режимы,но с такой отвратительной физикой,убогими картами невозможно просто играть,врезались во врага на скорости 100 км/ч, 3% повреждений.... Опять же,во второй части была крутая физика,крутые красочные трассы,когда ты ехал,а тебе в лицо светило солнце... Играйте во FlatOut 2,не играйте во "FlatOut" 3

This is **** game. Please not buy this **** My parents were in a psychiatric hospital when playing this game, and said that it is good. The first part is a hundred times more abruptly this ****

malisimo , que paso con flat out , llos autos no se rompen , solo explotan cuando chocan y explotan muy feo , parecen autos de juguete la fisica es asquerosa parece twisted metal de ps1 con graficos buenos pero infantiles , nada mejor que flat ot ultimate carnage , esto pasa cuando bugbear deja este juegazo en manos de otros desarrolladores ,como en este caso team6

I'm a fan of FlatOut since the beginning so I had to play this one too. Oh well... Probably the worst video game ever - this is just PAINFULL to see and play. Don't even try... 0/1000000

A complete insult to both Bugbear, the players, the publisher and the entire world! Team 6 has spent absolutely 0 effort to even let 'players' drive a car. No effort, no logic, no respect.

It is an utter awfulness and doesn't deserve a Flatout name badge. I have been playing games for years and this redefined the word "bad" in gaming....

I didn't expect that FlatOut will continue after Empire Interactive bankruptcy, but I knew that all Team6 **** immensely long before they ruined my favourite game. That was enough to make me scared of FlatOut burial, and I was totally right. This... "game" not only shows true identity of Team6, it also breaks hearts of gamers very hardly. Entire game is like swiss cheese; full of holes. The only thing that game can be praised for is holding a Guinness record for most blur in computer games history. Team6 staff keep defending themselves from getting **** by angered gamers armed with barbed wires, but resistance is futile and these morons will definitely pay sooner or later. Strategy First did noting wrong here; it was set up by Team6.

This is a HUGE disappointment to the FlatOut franchise. I was so happy to hear about a new Flatout game. It is horrible. It is extremely cartoony and boring. The awesome flatout physics are gone and are replaced with physics like Mario cart. All the characters with their own traits are gone two!. Same with the stunt mode which was so fun during parties. Also, Flatout UC had an awesome soundtrack that actually affected the way you drive. Lets say you drove on a track listening to an upbeat song you would take all the ramps and drift round corners. While with a dark song you would drive very seriously and drive on the a pecks. Though in FO 3, it is all the same annoying trash techno music! Overall, this game is NOT focused on the same audience as the previous game and it is focused at 7-year old kids

I thought it was a dream. The worst game of 2011. The FlatOut series is one of these games where vehicular slaughter is a daily entertainment. Unfortunately Empire Interactive has been resolved and rights to publish the game were given for Strategy First that made the worst mistake ever. They gave right to the game development for Team 6. Knowing how good games they make, I was already scared before I started playing their game. Gameplay is presented with great difference from previous titles. And it's difficult to call it an improvement. There's no career and instead we have 9 events that has almost nothing to do with chaos and destruction. Many are copies of each other, for instance destruction derby, that changes only the amount of opponents between events. Other are hybrids, like offroad races, monstertruck challenges or speed races where the only tactic is **** the acceleration key on your keyboard. Amount of cars and tracks is not impressive either. Customization has nothing to do with cars other than changing the colour of our vehicle to more one. Many tracks are mirrored or with changed weather conditions/time of the day. Graphics are failure over failures, even in this gaming generation, and the word "failure" is a very mild statement here. Textures are of a very low quality and they don't resemble even a 1% of reality. Rather everything in this game looks like a vomit combined with excrement. And strength of these ugly graphics is increased by the highest amount of blur I have ever seen in any video game. In normal racing games a hint of that effect is used to give a felling of speed for the player, but here the blur is so intense that is more obstructive than vision through 3 lenses thick glasses. Lighting leaves a lot to discussion. Sound is in some ways can be survived, but it does not save the game. The music is average and not many suit to the climate of racing games. This is very typical to Team 6 as they almost never find any good music. Same thing can be said about FX that is mediocre and cheap. I'm always wondering if these were made with kitchen equipment. Physics Engine is so up that Newton rolls in his grave. Every vehicle handles like a butter-coated paper box on ice. Drifting or taking corners is a challenge and handbrake is a joke. It's hard to get to the finish line without even a single crash. But Flatout is all about crashes right? Well, no. There is no enjoyment from destruction in this game. Damage model and hitbox are rather funny. Wrecking opponents car is more a matter of luck than skill. Stunt Man returns in this game, but it has been completely destroyed. Flight control is difficult and unresponsive and catapulting our driver through the windshield often fails. And now the cherry on top of the cake. Artificial intelligence. Most likely all opponents were born in the cement mixer, because they find a sense of life in randomly driving around and crashing each other until wreckage nothing else. And they can do this even without us. In races they still show the knowledge on the same level as sidewalk. They don't care how they are driving. They are hardly trying to get back on track after crash and their speeding has no relationship with any thinking. The game has pseudo-patch, but the way it changes the game only shows Team6's lack of effort. No music in menu, dissapearing car models, removal of the HUD and worse game performance are a price for extra racing track and even worse AI of opponents. The game is a game, but the behavior of Team 6 is very off-limits. In reply to numerous criticisms onto a game, The Ronnie Nellis made an attempt to shame Rich Stanton on Eurogamers saying to him: “It is clear he copy pasted the review from other reviewers, probably that German guy at Gamestar. If he would have played the game as he said he did, he would have had Update4. No way the game is too fast or has bloom enabled, since this has all be fixed long time ago. I’m calling the Eurogamer guy a liar.” He also critcised players for having cracked copies. This game on Steam costs 30 EURO, this is too much for such a crap. Additionaly, Steam does not provide cash refunds. Flatout fans feel disappointed and fooled. Team 6 thinks that they are good and the rest of the world is bad at making games. Overall, Flatout 3 is a crime against both gamers and fans of series. Everything in it **** and the behavior of the developers leaves a lot to think about. It's like Team6 threw into us gamers and said: "This is your next FlatOut And that why this crap deserves lowest possible scores. R.I.P. FlatOut

I tried hard to be objective about this game, due to the bashing reviews. And to be honest, I think I have been. I've never rated a game 0 before, but this game deserves it. The controls, the physics and the flow of this game is just plain awful. If I didn't know better I'd think this was a graphic overhauled knock-off of the real FlatOut games. Sure, there's a lot of game modes, new exiting tracks, arenas and stunt courses, loads of different cars and characters. But everything just loses it's value due to the awful controls, physics and overall flow of the game. I'll advise every possible buyer to stick with FlatOut 2, which is hilarious fun. This game is not even worth playing for free.

A huge disappointment and an eternal stain in the Flatout franchise. Everything is unfinished and just plain bad. You may as well burn your money because that will make you feel better than playing this piece of garbage would.

I had heard that this game couldn't in anyway compare to the previous titles in the series so i didn't expect anything more than an average budget arcade racer that i could play for a few hours. But i didn't expect this game to be so terrible. The cars handle like **** the physics is terrible, its buggy and just everything about the game feels half finished. They have even managed to screw up the stunt and derby mode beyond repair. There seems to be a decent amount of content in the game but that doesnt matter when none of it plays anywhere near ok. Stay the hell away from this one.

This game is absolutely horrible in so many ways. I bought the complete pack on steam about six months ago and enjoyed FlatOut 2 and UC for many many hours. They were magnificent racing games that looked very well on my PC and were a lot of fun to play. I already read the reviews about Flatout 3, so I knew what I was up for, but since this game was in the complete pack I decided to download it and give it a fair chance. It was a complete waste of my time and bandwidth. Apparantly, this game was patched many times, but they still didn't fix the menu's. It looks ridiculous. The graphics look like they are from 10 years ago. Even FlatOut 1 looks better. The gameplay is bad. You have no feeling whatsoever with the cars. And it all just looks so uninspired and boring. It's not even a bad game in a fun way (like Big Rigs). It's just embarrassing. I usually think that everyone should give a game a fair chance. Because if I don't like it, you might, or someone else. Here I make an exception to that rule. I can not imagine anyone liking this game. I don't understand the positive reviews on this site. Seriously. Stay away from this game. Don't buy it. Don't even download it. There are so many better and cheaper games to buy, that will run smoother and have a bigger entertainment value. Forget this game exists. Forget. Forget...

This game totally destroys a franchise! Not only there are a problems with an AI of the opponents but also there are lots of glitches and sometimes even game crashes. But that's not all, there are a patches that were meant to help this game to fix any glitches and made gameplay a little bit better but this idiots from Team6 made this game even worse! There is no music at start, no HUD, no cars in selection screen and the biggest failure in this patches... even DUMBER AI!!! How they can break one of the best racing game for PC? This is a reason why I gave this game a 0/10 but this game even deserve a 0, it deserves -100/10 to destroy a great franchise and piss fans with those ridiculous patches. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME!

The game is, as named in the title, total chaos. But trust me, it's not chaos in a fun way. The tracks are poorly done, and the game is too little about actual driving and racing, and too much about crashing. And perhaps the most important thing they have failed with, is the driving options. I have tried it with both keyboard and Thrustmaster steering wheel. With both those, it just fails to deliver. It has way too long reaction time of what you're actually pushing, and it turns way to rapidly at a certain angle of the steering wheel.

The graphics are hidious, the menu's are VERY buggy and cheap, and the cars are undrivable. It is waste of money. Even Flatout 1 (from 2004!) is better. Do NOT buy!

This game at its core is fundamentally broken. The physics engine is a complete mess and the driving mechanics are terrible. I wanted to like this but there is very little about this game that was done good. Even the loading bar is broken, yeah it has the most cars and all that but the cars don't work properly and when you crash all that happens is sparks fly off, where is the destruction. I don't care that you can break fences etc if I can't even break bits of my car like in the previous Flatout's, **** from 2005 can why can't this. Luckily I got it in the Steam sale in the Flatout Collection so I didn't waste my money but I deleted pretty soon after playing it. This game is seriously a game you must avoid.

Okay, I'm not sure where to start. I LOVED Flatout 2 And Ultimate Carnage, Was SO hyped for this game, To realise it was THE WORST Ã

The singleplayer modes are all nicely done and the number of content is enough to keep you busy for a long while. I like the graphics, the cars, most of the tracks and cheer towards the diversity and experiments of new game modes. Despite the many critics, i also love the handling of most of the cars, except for the classics and the bus: It feels much more real than any other racing game so hooray for the development team for making at least one person happy: me. Why i don't give it a ten, like most others? FlatOut only gets either ten, or zero? Because only the singleplayer is good, and the multiplay is as bad as the singleplayer is good. The multiplayer mode you can forget: It's poorly programmed by someone who clearly has no idea on how to build a multiplayer game. All functionality or features that you are used to are now removed or planted full of bugs. You want to chat? Does not work. You want to kick someone? Not possible. You want to race? You hit walls you don't see, lag is bad even on lan. Forget multiplay and you have a nice singleplayer game. They should split price in half.

AWFUL! Im shocked at the system requirements. Quad core + HD 6950!. Even maxed out the game looks like a PS2 game!. F**K you ruining such an awesome game series

amazing how almost every positive review was written on Dec 20, 2011 don't get fooled, those ratings are from the devs. FlatOut 3 is a joke. The best thing about it, are the graphics and those are mediocre. The AI is really bad, the tracks are unimaginative, the car physics are a mess (in both settings), the sound makes your ears bleed, and the devs are a bunch of self absorbed smegheads. Oh yes, the developers...know for real classics like "Monster Trucks: ULTRA MEGA EXTREME", "Motorbike Challenge", "Ultimate Monster Trucks", "Downtown Challenge", "Scooter War3z" , "Pizza Dude", "Taxi Raser" and "Copy-Paste (German, French, European, Shanghai) Street Racer". If you know any of those games, you know what you are in for. And don't believe those patch rumors. A: patch #7 will most likely never be released, since the publisher gave up on the game after 1 **** i really can't blame them, because B: you can't patch fun into a game that is broken on so many levels. Trivia: FO3 is made with the same engine as the above mentioned games, a 11 year old in-house engine of a shovelware developer. This is probably one of the reasons, why this game drops

One of the worst racing games I've ever experienced, only to be outdone by the likes of Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing although not by much I'm afraid. I went into the game expecting something like older titles in the series. My standards were too high. The overall look of the game doesn't resemble the older titles at all; there's a very cheap feel to the look and sound of the game that I can't quite describe. It's an odd aura of "Why did I spend money on this?" Starting with the truly awful "menu music," which may well be the only music in the game (not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing), the main menu gives you about 8 different modes to play with. None of them are fun. There are generic races and a variety of "special" races which pose no challenge whatsoever, as there are no penalties for driving off of the track. The tracks themselves are completely uninspired and boring, not to mention downright ugly. The derby events come down to driving around in a circle with wonky physics which occasional make your car flip out of control for no apparent reason, while your cars percentage of health pops up in the top left corner. Demotion derbys are usually kind of fun, but the awful car physics make it dreadfully boring. I truly cannot believe that they're charging $29.99 for this game. What's worse is there are probably people out there that are giving them that money. If you're considering it, please don't. If you see it on sale, don't buy it. I don't care how cheap it is, trust me, it's not worth your money. I truly hope that this is a nail in the coffin for this once-great series.

I have never been this much disappointed bij a sequel. Instead of a fun racing game with an almost rpg buildup (like the other Flatouts are), you get this arcade 'un-controllable superspeed' game that spits in your eyes as soon as it starts up. Bwaark!

whatever i can say about this game,this game is bloody **** AI is like old-fart,the graphics makes me sick,the controller handling is bad,the game is stupidly hard,the trailer is poorly made and burns your $30 **** oh yes,the developer saying us a trolls? Well tell me developer,if you saying us a troll,why don`t you try your game and play it? This game destroys Flatout Series COMPLETELY! Not recommended if you are fans of Flatout,Stay the **** away! Its **** and extremely disgusting.

Flat out 3? What can I say, Iâ

Ok... I have never seen a game this worse to be ever released on whatever platform it even can fit. I have played the FlatOut series from the beginnig and I know perfectly how it all feels, rides and crashes! Bugbear knew what it all was about. Team6 Studios have literally took this game for them and rubbed it in the dirt. It deserves a 1 just because there is a game. I am ashamed, truly.
