Crackdown 2 demo released today [Update]
Update: It’s up.
Original: Ruffian Games and Microsoft are to release the Crackdown 2 demo later today.
The taster allows you to take part in four-player co-op, earn Demo Achievements and also gives accelerated leveling.
Demo Achievements in particular sounds like a great feature, allowing you to unlock rewards before purchasing the full game. We can see other developers copying that feature.
The demo will weigh in at 1.07Gb, and the game ships on July 9.
Thanks, Eurogamer.

Demo Achievements?…. is that just in game rewards, not actual chievos?
Multiplayer demo = ghay. I hate people. to quote Casey Chaos’ piss virus “i fucking hate you, i fucking hate myself” (damn i love that song)

You earn actual Achievements in the demo, but will only unlock when you get the full game.

It’s not just a multiplayer demo, mington – it’s single-player too.
I played it six times through over the weekend. It’s aces!

Yes, until next Monday, unfortunately. Microsoft being tight-fisted bastards and all.
