From The Press Release:
EXTENSIVE DEMO ANNOUNCED FOR DARKSIDERSTM


AGOURA HILLS, Calif. February 16, 2010 – Gamers will be able to get to grips with Darksiders™’ true essence in the upcoming release of a 90-minute game demo for Xbox 360® and PlayStation®3 based on THQ Inc.’s critically acclaimed action-adventure game.

The demo contains the entire first dungeon encounter from the game, the sprawling Twilight Cathedral. This engaging and challenging level contains dozens of puzzles for players to solve, new pieces of equipment to discover and epic boss battles against the monstrous demon Jailer and the savage bat-winged Tiamat. Representing a cross section of Darksiders’ key features, the demo will take approximately 90 minutes to complete for the average player. The demo will become available to download from Xbox LIVE® and PlayStation®Network on 25 February.

David Adams, General Manager of Vigil Games commented:
“We are really pumped to be bringing a playable demo for Darksiders to Xbox 360 and PlayStation3. We really wanted to give gamers a true idea of the variety of gameplay that the game offers and so rather than just making a standard 20-minute demo version of the first few levels, we decided to give away this massive level and reveal the true essence of the game.”

Darksiders is now available at retail outlets worldwide for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation 3.

They say 90 minutes for average player, so 25 minutes for most in reality.

The 360 version is like $40 on Amazon. If this demo is good i'll pick it up. I'm glad to see they've got faith in the game and are releasing a demo designed to give you an accurate impression of the gameplay rather than some 10 minute clip. You can make anything seem pretty awesome if it's only 10 minutes of custom picked gameplay.

?? I have never really heard of this being done before, especially after a game is about a month after release.
