Anyone try this out? Let me know how it is. Was gonna download the demo last night but forgot. My son loves racing cars and cars in general but even he is totally bored of NFS U2. Looking for something new to keep him going.

This is a cool game. Love the graphics. I'm hoping there is a way to disable the guy flying out of car in normal racing. I'd love if my son could play it but a little afraid the guy flying out of car is freaking him out. When your kid is saying "Dadda boom in car" that kinda tells me something. Hahahaha!! Ya great game, hopefully this is toggleable. But it appears to be somewhat of a feature and damn hilarious. I played this game/demo most of nite last night laughing my butt off when I flew out.

It's an excellent physics engine and the ragdoll driver is 'toggleable' in the full game

There is also a mod out for the demo i think? try searching the flatout forums
This link has mods etc for the game http://www.m4driving.it/files/139,1.html

The only thing i hate about it are the camera and replays are CRAP! Bugbear WONT patch it to support any of the wanted features and the folks have been waiting eons for the SDK, *if* it's going to be released...

If this had the amazing replay suite that Carmageddon had (switch to other drivers cars,amazing slow-mo,save replay and free cam etc,etc) then it would be a success, but it's more a technology demo once you've played it a 100 times like i have! LOL

hilarious i searched their forums and came up with nothing.. Thanks for the info Stumpus. I don't know I love it. Myself I love the game. I haven't checked out the replays, actually just trying to finish a race without killing myself. Maybe I will read up on the forums a bit more and see what's up with the game. From the demo though, I really like it.. The graphics to me are just amazing!

I agree with you XXXX, this game is friggin amazing. Im playing the demo and I am addicted to it. The Highjump thing is the best part, im pretending there is an Extreme Auto Contest, along with commentators voiced by myself.
Ive been able to reach 106 metres, how about you XXXX?

believe it or not, runs well on my radeon 9700 pro. Definitely one of the best looking racing games I seen. The Nascar demo sucks really bad.

I downloaded the new NASCAR demo, and when I installed it, I got an error so I said "screw this, ill download Flatout". Im glad I did.
Now if only I could get Counterstrike to work.
