Available in Europe for some time now, the FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage demo has finally arrived on the U.S. and Canadian Xbox Live Marketplace. Previously, we were impressed with video footage from the game, so it will be nice to finally give it a test drive. FlatOut, if you don't know (or haven't guessed from the Ultimate Carnage subtitle), is a particularly violent racing game, full of death and destruction. Go fire up the old Xbox and give it a go. If you like what you see, expect the retail version to hit the shelves next month.

FlatOut demo finally hits U.S. and Canada

Video: FlatOut in game footage
InsideGamer got an exclusive first look at in game footage of FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage, and posted it for our viewing pleasure. It runs at 3 minutes and 30 seconds, and shows a semi-off road race through the countryside. The problem is we've been known to make unfair comparisons of random racing games to the Burnout series, but we can't resist ourselves. This looks a lot like Burnout 3: Takedown mixed with some Revenge. It even uses similar fonts in the HUD. Perhaps we're just seeing things because we can't wait to see more of Paradise. Video available beyond the rainbow, or rather, the "Read" link.

Video: FlatOut Ultimate Carnage teaser
Godfree over at Gamertagradio posted up the first teaser trailer for FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage. It shows a very nice street racer, which could be classified as a Toyotsubishi SuprEclipse flying off the gate down the straightaway only to be t-boned by a muscle car, then proceed to get dog piled in a rather larger crash with multiple vehicles. According to the accompanying press release the collisions are all using the in game engine. It ends with a shot of the title screen, and the rag droll driver flying into a pile of his fallen comrades, complete with a cheap laugh to finish it off. So, do you think FlatOut will live up to it's subtitle, or are you going to get your crashing fix from *cough* Burnout?
FlatOut to bring Carnage Ultimately in June.
Fans of the FlatOut racing series are in luck, as in June there will be a new gen installment released for Xbox 360. FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage is currently under development by BugBear Entertainment from scratch to make full use of the 360 hardware. You'll be able to drive recklessly through five single player modes, choosing from a dozen different vehicles, or take your aggression out over Xbox Live's two multiplayer modes. Also confirmed is that there will be downloadable content available through Xbox Live Marketplace after the game's release.
Promised as being the best FlatOut installment yet, and hot off the heels of the successful FlatOut 2, are you looking forward to this? Or do you think it will get lost in the pile of games coming out in June that we mentioned in our podcast?
