Square Enix community man Mike Oldman has confirmed to Just Cause fansite Panau Island that a playable demo of Just Cause 2 will be downloadable from Steam for PC, Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network on the 5th of March, New Zealand time.
As to the scale of the demo, Oldman tweeted, "Wondering how big the Just Cause 2 demo is? Try 1.4Gb. Or Manhattan. Or Paris. Or more accurately 35 square miles."
Over that map, players will find a “sandy desert, featuring towns and settlements, military bases, runways (and planes) and plenty more,” says Oldman.
"The demo will give you a pretty good snapshot of what the final game has to offer," he continues.
"So in terms of Rico's abilities and the crazy stunts he can pull off – it's all in there.
"There's also one whole multi-stage faction mission for you to try, a race challenge and ample opportunities to cause chaos at pretty much every turn. There's a good mix of vehicles, everything from tuk tuks to planes, helicopters to jeeps, military and civilian.
"We really want you to play it again and again, to try out as much as you can. If you don't fancy tackling the mission for example, don't. See if we care. You'll easily find something else to keep you occupied."
