The series has received both critical acclaim and notable negative reception with most notably FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction being considered one of the worst video games of all time and FlatOut 2 being considered the best in the series. It was called a welcome addendum to the derby-racing genre at first but eventually died out due to a lack of critical reception.
