Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Square Enix has announced that an "unmissable" demo for the upcoming open world action game Just Cause 2 will arrive on Xbox LIVE Marketplace on 4 March.

The demo will feature "a massive 35 square miles of the Lautan Lama Desert, a vast expanse of stunning, sun-scorched scenery," along with a multitude of activities to keep you busy, such as:

Assassinate one of the game's 50 military colonels; devastate military bases, bio fuel chambers, government infrastructure and more; hijack tuk tuks, military 4x4s, armoured vehicles, mopeds, helicopter gunships, light aircraft, mini vans and numerous other military and civilian vehicles; freefall from desert outcrops or from burning planes at 20,000 feet; and unlock one full, multi-stage mission, traversing the mountains to a heavily fortified government radar station and ending in an unforgettable desert car chase.

The demo, which Square Enix say is "easily one of the biggest freeroaming demos of all time," will be available next week Thursday, with the full game arriving in retail stores on 26 March.
