    Unlike its predecessors, FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction was met with very negative reception upon release, with GameRankings giving it a score of 26.90%,[1] while Metacritic gave it 23 out of 100 based on the reviews of 22 critics.[2]

    FlatOut 3 is one of the two games Edge has ever given a score of one out of ten to in its history (the other being Kabuki Warriors).[3] 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."[4] GamesMaster also gave the game 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."[5] GameSpot gave the game its highest score by giving it 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.[6]
