Bugbear's racer/crasher may have been in the shops for almost a month now, but a demo was not available until now. From today you should be able to download a three level demo of Flatout Ultimate Carnage now if you fancy it, most reviewers do.

"As well as the trademark destruction and mayhem in FlatOut Career mode, we've purposely focused on the new game modes in the playable demo" said Rob Noble, European Marketing Manager at Empire "The introduction of Deathmatch Derby in particular, is sure to be an instant hit with all action racing fans. The launch of the demo is an important element in our effort to bring the game to the broadest possible base of Xbox 360 gamers. We believe it will help build on FlatOut Ultimate Carnage’s excellent initial consumer sales launch,"
