The game has three car classes: derby, race, and street.
A notable change is the tire grip players can take more control of their car, worrying less about skidding in tight turns. This game is themed more on the street racing/import tuner scene than its predecessor.
It is the sequel to the 2004 game FlatOut. FlatOut 2 is a racing video game developed by Bugbear Entertainment and published by Empire Interactive.
