While there is some potential here, i doubt they will realize it this, or even next year. And considering this is supposed to be a yearly release, definitely don't buy the 22 version with hopes of more. What there is right now, is a pretty good presentation of a race simulation with some nice, unique touches like the real radio messages, and a not too bad car development section. What ISN'T there right now are deep management systems, a functioning economy, interesting races and technical defects, any real challenge past the first couple of races and absolutely not long term (since even the worst team can easily be turned into a title contender by season 2),... And then there are the bugs. Lapped cars suddenly stopping in the middle of the road holding up traffic, cars with broken rear wings driving super slowly around the track for ages, safety cars not following rules, in general some occasionally very weird behaviour by the driver AI, gearbox bug,... None of them game breaking, but all adding more annoyance to an already underwhelming and shallow management game

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
