60 of 171 · most liked firstAbsolute ass game! Words cant explain the pure agony I have experienced while playing this game. Getting all the achievements in this game is the most annoying thing in gaming history! And thats the only reason why I played this game and I also bought it just because Im a huge FlatOut fan. Also did anyone else notice that number 3 is cursed number in videogames? For example: this game, Postal 3, Mafia 3, FNAF 3, Killing Floor 3 and so on....
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Team 6 should be paying ME to play this game with how bad it is. Had I not gotten it from a bundle years ago, I'd have never even considered buying it. Don't waste your money on this trash!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is ♥♥♥♥ a bought it just to help a friend with a multiplayer achievment
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Game is so bad, I had to permanently remove it from my library without a refund. There's no reason for me to say how bad it is, everyone knows already.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →when i looked at the reviews i said it cant be that awful BUT IT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ IS. this game is the equivalent of your legs getting smashed by a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ slegehammer and have your face peeled by a orange peeler and your whole torso being eated by hillbillys
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok, I had seen the reviews. I knew it was gonna be bad but oh well, I have played plenty of bad games so decided to play through this one out of spite. Mistake. There was NO career mode at all, so there was nothing to play through! All the modes are either awful nerfed versions compared to Flatout 2, or some new that are just generic trash. What really get's me are the physics. Flatout 1 & 2 had amazing physics, but this one has basically no physics at all. I went into this expecting bad game,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had a much better experience pressing the play button than playing this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →video game equivalent of getting skinned alive
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i bought flatout 3 and all i got was more suicidal
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i bought the game just so i can lower the review score #ImDoingMyPart
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I paid for a FlatOut game, and what I got was some cheap knockoff that looks like it came straight from the Google Play Store. Highly not recommended. They really should remove this from the bundle so the price can be cheaper.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game have Hentai tag but there is no hentai... So sad :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Psychological Horror tag is right
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best steam game i played i now touch grass everyday
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →did ya know the people that made this game also made low quality mobile games? and all their assets are hidden within this game? do not....ever purchase this game its the postal III of racing games do with that knowledge what you will
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not *quite* as bad as Big Rigs Over The Road Racing, but if there was a tournament for "worst racing game ever", they'd probably both be in the top 10. Flatout 2/Ultimate Carnage are GOATs tho. Play those, not this. Please not this lol 1/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have bought this game because I hate myself and I like torturing myself
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The worst game in this category of games. Don't waste your money! Take Flatout 2 or Ultimate instead!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the reason why mental hospitals exist.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is a mess. horribly made. as bad as people say perhaps? but also. it's REALLY fun. so i almost can recommend it (if you're as autistic as me) also it's on sale atm
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if i had to choose either get my ass absolutely spreaded open or play this game then i would prefer having my ass splitted open
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have over 1,000 games in my library, and this is the worst of them all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I dunno why this trash exists. It's a huge step down from FlatOut 2, or Ultimate Carnage, or even the first game. No music in races. No career mode. No car upgrades (?). Car physics are weird. Opponents have no personality. There is a bunch of game modes without any real description. There are some instructions in loading screens, BUT game loads too fast and the screen disappears so you can't read them. Writing this after losing a monster truck challenge, after which I got an an achievement…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →- it is dangerously easy to noclip through solid objects on certain maps - the in-game sound effects sound extremely compressed, which isn’t what I’d expect from a game released in 2011 with a filesize of over 10 gigabytes - playing destruction derby races on hard difficulty causes every single AI to target the player - the driving physics range from being inconsistent to cars having nearly 0 traction whatsoever Oh, and the brakes don't do anything. The game is so poorly made that it doesn't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FlatOut 3 truly deserves a Steam award Not for racing excellence, but for being a legendary reminder that sequels can go very wrong. Clunky physics, empty fun, and a name that promised much more than it delivered. Unforgettable, but for all the wrong reasons.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Things more fun than playing Flatout 3: - Having someone pour Tabasco sauce directly into your eyes; - Getting a paper cut between your fingers, then using lemon juice as hand sanitizer; - Break dancing in a pool of Lego; - Having to share a bed with Ron Jeremy (I know he's dead... that's beside the point);
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The attempt to play this game has left me scarred and deformed. If you wanna give it to someone you hate, this game's for you!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, I played FlatOut 3. Why? Because a YouTube video told me it was bad. And I'm easily influenced. Plus, the complete pack was cheap. Smart move, right? Wrong. I went straight to the dumpster fire that is FlatOut 3. The graphics look like they were made by a potato. The handling is like trying to steer a runaway shopping cart full of kittens. And the AI? Let's just say they're enthusiastic about sending you into walls. Repeatedly. But here's the thing: it's hilarious. The crashes are epic.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gifting this game is one of the most vile acts in human history.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really, genuinely wish I could come up with something funny or witty to say, but I can't. I just can't. I had to quit out after SIX MINUTES because the physics are so god awful it makes you question why you even got into gaming in the first place. This game is just filler on the steam store. You can't deny that they tried, but come on man. Please, for the love of god do not spend the full £6.99 (or whatever your currency is) on this game, it's best to buy it on sale to have a laugh, play it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is so bad my grandma came back to life to alt f4 this heap of ♥♥♥♥ (10 out of 10 game) i can use my own music to override the games soundtrack
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played it for literally 5 minutes and uninstalled it right after. I don't know what i have played, but definitely NOT Flatout game. 0/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I could have my 30 minutes back.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →love it, best game ever (although rating it as psychological horror is kinda dumb since the zombies arent that scary) RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH sex
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very good for torture, thanks.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The idea is good, many different tracks, many cars, game modes and game characters. I hope the developers will release updates more often. :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2 bucks and one mental stability gone just like that.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction, developed by Team 6 Studios and published by Strategy First, was meant to carry forward the legacy of one of gaming’s most chaotic and beloved demolition racing series. The FlatOut franchise had built its reputation on exhilarating crashes, dynamic physics, and a perfect balance between destruction and high-speed competition. However, this third numbered entry stands as one of the most infamous examples of how a franchise can stumble when its core identity is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →By no means it's a good game, it's 3 stars out of 10 at best in its current state. BUT! (and thus my thumbs up to have your attention :) It's UNDONE. It's ALPHA, in fact. It was half-baked and released out of financial pit. I'd say it doesn't deserve its absolute hate that it received at the release. There are many signs of a larger and better game as it was actually planned to be. Unfortunately, due to troubles with publishers, the development was stopped at a random point, everything was…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best moment of my life, i now want to kill myself with a remington 870
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My expectations couldn't have been lower yet this "game" was somehow worse than my terrible expectations. Cars will either turn like a fridge or a boat on ice and the gravity is heavier than the pain you go through playing this abomination The graphics are an eyesore, especially for 2013 it somehow looks worse than FlatOut 2 from 2006. Content wise the game tries to offer a lot, but it's generally just reskins of other gamemodes, and they all somehow suck anyways I only have this game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would rather get caught playing a ZORN game than this, would be less embarrassing… The ‘Psychological Horror’ tag is accurate.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →you know.. if i had to pick between this and almost every shovelware mobile game out there, i might have to go with this unfortunately.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not even Linux can save this game from its sudden crashing at random. A lost cause of a game. Its $2 for a reason.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What is this piece of sh*t? How could this be called 'FlatOut'? Please stop ruining the name of this game series. Don't even think about making a sequel looking like this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is like a horrible cocktail you take a sip of to remind yourself that you're alive. It's not the worst cocktail you've ever tasted, but it's definitely the worst one you've ever gotten through more than a few swallows' worth. It's not even that funny with how bad it is- sure there's some comedic moments, but overall it's just kind of a floaty drag with no impact or satisfaction to be found. If you can get this for 2 or 3 bucks in a bundle or on sale, it's an interesting look at how…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →you can honk the horn in this one
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game flopped harder than the 1987 market crash..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Flat out 3. Now this is what I am talking about. This game is legendary. I love how there is no wasd and the quality when you first play is the lowest that it can be. Cool math games quality is better than loading into this. But apart from that it was really good. GOTY 100% 10/10!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not the premise that works against Flatout 3 being a good game, it's the implementation. Terribly weak AI and amorphous car control distract from what could have been an enjoyable vehicular riot.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I guess this is what happen when you lay off one of the best studio out there and give the right to the worst studio ever... Don't know what the strategy was there... At the very least its a great way to torture someone else... (I might need a psy...)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I purchased the complete pack, and found that this was the first I outright hated playing. The first one is starting to get dated but is otherwise fine. FO2 was the reason I'm even playing this in the first place, it was one of my favourite racing games ever. But this feels like a game that was designed to be played on an arcade machine, the handling feels like I'm on ice, the character selection and car selection screens are cumbersome, and the areas in my case for the singleplayer race mode…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game has showed me how it feels to drive drunk, while on ice! what an experience don't ******* play this. it's bad.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is sooooo bad... If someone said to me that this early prototype of FlatOut 2 i'd understood bad quality of it but as separate game this is such a joke...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you really don't value your time a lot and hate yourself this game would be perfect for you. 1/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looks awful, to the point where I do not know what it is anymore.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is fantastic
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When Dutch jokes went too far.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't remember this game being WW2 related...
