Honestly, I played the Demo for Flatout 1 and I wasn't too trilled with the "ragdoll" games. I mean they were fun and all, but not the reason I'd get the game. I never got the first one, but I am considering purchasing the second, perhaps when it's down to $20.
Actually, I think one of my Room mates just got the game, so perhaps I can see how I like it on his Xbox...
