A announced a demo for Dead Space 2 is going to hit in the week beginning December 21st on the Xbox 360.
For some reason EA has decided to call the game, which releases on January 28th 2011,"a critically-acclaimed action horror game" and to big up the fact that the demo will be out prior to the game. But that's the nature of marketing, which we suck up.
The demo sees the player acting out the role of, "engineer Isaac Clarke on a terrifying adventure through the Church of Unitology, an expectedly 'safe' place that quickly becomes dangerous and deadly, during the Necromorph outbreak on the Sprawl. Players will also have access to a variety of new tools that Isaac can use to fight Necromorphs, including the new Javelin gun, updated stasis recharge mechanic and enhanced telekinesis ability. Players will also experience the advanced suit, equipped with jets that will allow Isaac full 3600 control in Zero-G space."
The detail, "The Dead Space 2 demo will be available for download December 21 on Xbox LIVE Marketplace Worldwide and the PlayStation Network in North America. The demo will be available December 22 on PlayStationNetwork in Europe.
