Post your comments for Review: FlatOut 2 here

It would be nice if we could download the demo faster than 20kb/sec. At that rate it will take most of the day. Why is there only 1 download site????????

[Peter Cohen]

Not sure where you're downloading it from, but I believe a demo download is linked in Apple's review. Any better luck with that?

"A fun game is fun, no matter how long it takes to get to the Mac. So if you’re going to start whining about how FlatOut 2 has been around forever, you can shut the hell up right now, because I don’t want to hear it."
You are so right! Don't know how you got that past your editors :-), but it needs to be said. Thanks!

So where do we stand with Racing Wheels. I have been wanting to get one, but it seems like the market is dried up. Use to be a wheel from Logitech, but they do not list Mac as compatible any more? So does this game work with game pads? And how is that experience?

Peter,

Apple has it linked to the same macgamesfiles download. I guess IMG wants people to pay them for the faster download service they provide :-(

Was going to say the same.

As for getting past the editors, it's easy. Just have an accomplice at the other end of the room yell "Free T-Shirts" and sneak it in while they're distracted.

Not so much with our team.

Calls of "free donuts" and "free pizza" work better, depending on the time of day.

For a faster download, try this one:

Found courtesy of flat out 2 mac demo and Google. It's presently downloading for me at 818KB/sec.

Even better news is that VP has announced that they will be shortly releasing Xenos for Mac.
After months of getting their TRS-80 Model III virtual emulation wrapper Virtual Programming will eventually be able to bring to the Mac a plethora of games not available before.
Even though this game was originally released in 1982, VP is confident that the game thirsty Mac ecosystem will lap up anything that is released.

I'd like to know about that, too. How do you play a racing game without a racing wheel? It just doesn't seem like it would be much fun using the arrow keys or even a joystick.

[Peter Cohen]

Actually, it's lots of fun playing it with a keyboard and mouse, which is how I test virtually all my games.

I'll haul out the Logitech MOMO Racing Wheel I have in the closet and see how it runs. I'll report back when I do.

[griffman]

My MOMO works fine in the demo (albeit without force feedback). Does the FF work in the full version, Peter?

I've ALMOST bought several racing games... glad I waited for this one! I just like crashing a lot better than I like driving. (A terrible habit I know.)
