GameStar
It's quite confusing: Flatout: Ultimate Carnage is the third game of the series, but at the same time it's the PC conversion of the Xbox 360 game, which was a new version of the PC game Flatout 2. Basically Flatout: Ultimate Carnage is a remake with better graphics and more cars. If you already own Flatout 2, there aren't many new things in the game to justify buying Flatout: Ultimate Carnage, but if you don't, go ahead and get it.

More fun than 50 Formula One races, with or without Nazi-themed S&M. [Sept 2008, p.71]

The single-player Career won't take all that long to complete, but with a hugely entertaining multiplayer mode both on and offline, there's a good chance you'll continue playing for a while after.

Not a new game, but certainly looks like one. It's a great ride, but if you've seen it before, you've seen it all before. [Aug 2008, p.104]

[Anonymous] gave it a5:
just a remake of flatout 2.... good game but could a used something different. race tracks are the same , added a few goodies to the durbies like armor buffs but all and all its just flatout 2.

Tony M. gave it a10:
FlatOut 2 on the PC is my favorite racing game because it looks hot and is loads of fun. So naturally, Ultimate Carnage looks to be a great extension of 2 (however minor in gameplay, but better in technology). Plus 12 players over 8 should be a welcome addition to the fun. I just hope the price is right.

Aki R. gave it a10:
Burnout games are nothing compared to original! This just the best, craziest and funniest racing game ever. Physics modelling is fantastic -beats gran turismo arcade-feel anyday.

Sque Ge gave it a10:
It´s simply awesome game!!

Anton Ef gave it a0:
Nothing new except graphics and the remote camera's closer to ground (almost behind the car) than in Flatout 2.

Snatcher J. gave it a10:
The only that grabbed me for hours in a long time!
