Flatout Demo Available

Correction. Seems the full PC version in Pro mode still has this
traction control aid active. Lame.

This game has loads of potential as a decent simish racer but the
throttle limiter thing keeps it way on the arcade side. Arg.

(*&! off and don't come back here if you make comments like that.

You had that in some bike sim... back in the days. It was fun. You had to
run back to your bike.

And before you shout "that wasn't a sim"...what other bike game could you
kick your opponents off their machines ?

Road Rash 2?

Eh.

There was this game also, for the PC and Sega Genesis, based on the Road
Rash engine, where you were rollerskating instead and you could kick/punch
your opponents. It was pretty nice for the time, you needed basically to
attach yourself to the rear bumpers of cars.

Yep. It is unlockable, though. But I don't know when one can unlock it.

The driving model that prohibits me from actually driving the car in corners
is so unmotivating that I think one day of the game was enough for me. I'm
happy that I bought it, though. Flatout is a game that one can enjoy in tiny
chunks, and the damage modeling&nitro system sure is fun, untill you
actually do need to try to race the car. And because it is Finnish
