The first game to exhibit ragdoll physics was the Jurassic Park licensed game Jurassic Park: Trespasser, which received very polar opinions, most were negative. The game had a large number of bugs but was remembered for being a pioneer in video-game physics engines.

Just because people fly back when hit with a shotgun doesn't make it ragdoll.

i remember the first dave mirra freestyle bmx had ragdolls, and that came out a long time ago. Tresspasser beats it by a few years though.

Valve has a little game called Ragdoll Kung-Fu. But I'm sure that this wasn't the first ragdoll physics game.

I thought it was Max Payne 2. The interaction with the environment in the game was really good. I could be wrong though.

I doubt Tresspasser had ragdoll physics. The first game I remember playing w/ true ragdoll was Max Payne 2 in '03. I think the UT that came out at that time also had it.

That game DID have static physics, but as far as ragdoll physics go, I don't think it had those. Not all games with physics technology exploit ragdoll physics. Example being Call of Duty 1. It's got some Havok for grenade throwing and what not, but no ragdoll whatsoever.

PG. 8

PLUS, the ragdoll engine has been shown in 1997. So therefore, Jurassic Park STILL is the first ever game to use ragdoll physics.

How about the first game ever to use ragdoll physics realistically instead of characters really looking like actual paperlight scarecrows from the wizard of oz?
