Mass Effect 3 demo is now live on XBL | Games | Forum | Forum

The demo offers two single player missions and early access to the sequel’s controversial multiplayer mode – if you’re an owner of the Battlefield 3′s online pass, that is.

It’s a 1.76GB download and those who don’t own the Battlefield online pass get their multiplayer access on February 17.

The blurb reads: “the demo begins in dramatic fashion with the spectacular attack on Earth, followed by a mid-game section showcasing the groundbreaking interactive storytelling, adrenaline-pumping action, ruthless and intelligent enemies, and deep customization that make Mass Effect 3 the must-have title of 2012.”

If you simply can’t wait to get home and start downloading, check out 50 minutes worth of Mass Effect 3 demo footage.
