** To Europeans, ''[=FlatOut 2=]'' and to a lesser extent the first game, is considered to be the only game in the series.
* {{Sequelitis}}: ''[=FlatOut 3=]'' is supposed to be a total SerialEscalation, featuring a wealth of new content over the previous games. Thanks to being handled by an incompetent developer, the game handles and controls terribly, not to mention it is unstable and crashes so often.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: *SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Where to begin?
** ''[=FlatOut=] (2004)'' has a great selection of both original and licensed tracks such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UlxDelb8rE the titular song]] by Central Supply Chain (as heard in the menu screen), "Living American" by No Connection, "Beat The Boys" by LAB, "Perfect Goodbyes" by Amplifire, "Anger Management 101" by Deponeye, "Fish Biscuit" by Splatterheads, "No Man's Land" by Full Diesel and, for the sense of finality, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ponrh3bX1C8 The Race]]" by [=SiXeR=] (as featured in the ending).
** ''[=FlatOut 2=]'' has expanded even further by having the best licensed soundtrack in the entire series featuring absolute bangers like "Symphony of Destruction" by Music/{{Megadeth}}, "Demon Speeding" by Music/RobZombie, "Believe It or Not" by Music/{{Nickelback}}, "7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen)" by Music/FallOutBoy, "Lobotomy for Dummies" by Zebrahead and "Breathing" by Yellowcard.
** While being a bit of a step down compared to its predecessor, the UpdatedRerelease ''Ultimate Carnage'' hasn't lost its touch with "The Last Revolution" by No Connection (Returning from the 2004 game), "Waiting" by 32 Leaves, "Wanna Know You" by Manafest, "Union of Nothing" by Point Defiance and "Hang 'Em High" by A Static Lullaby.
** SoOkayItsAverage or not, ''[=FlatOut=] 4: Total Insanity'' has a decent number of tracks including "No Sleep" by Twin Atlantic, "Mr. Policeman" by Trivoltz, "See You in Hell" by The Creepshow and "Invincible" by Twelve Foot Ninja.
