Unlike its predecessors
FlatOut 3 was universally panned by video-game critics. It is only the
second game in the 18 year history of
Edge to receive a score of one out of ten (
Kabuki Warriors was the first.).
Eurogamer also gave it a one out of ten score and criticised all aspects of the game; especially the controls and the AI. It also lamented the fall from grace of the Flatout series as a whole and summed up the review by saying
"You could go mad trying to rationalise Flatout 3. It is not bad in the way that a game like Boiling Point is bad, where things coalesce into a kind of awful greatness. This is a tacky and technically incompetent production with no redeeming features whatsoever, devoid of fun and an insult to the name it bears. Flatout once burned bright, but now is gone - and if there is a driving hell, this is surely it."Gamesmaster also rated the game as one out of ten and said "Some games are so bad they're good (for a laugh, at least).
FlatOut 3 is just plain bad."
Gamespot gave the game its highest score by rating it as five out of ten, praising the Demolition mode and the wide range of game modes, but like in other reviews the AI, controls and the bad
collision detection were criticised.
