Kane & Lynch 2 Demo Hits Xbox 360, Requires Code

A demo for IO Interactive's Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is now available on the Xbox 360... for some. See, this demo is so "exclusive" that it requires a code to access.

Codes can potentially be snagged in a variety of ways, as collected by Joystiq.

Register at KaneandLynch.com
Watch the Xbox 360 Dashboard on your console, you might get a chance "soon"
Check 1UP for a chance at 1 of 1,000 codes.

The demo includes some singleplayer from mission #4, which takes place in and around a restaurant in Shanghai along with some multiplayer action. I got a chance to play a bit of this mission at E3 along with learning about the game's multiplayer modes. Then, I wrote a preview. Read that preview!

Dear Eidos/Square Enix,

If you want to know the wrong way to release a demo, you have done it. Exclusivity is already to people with Xbox Live Gold accounts and now you are making it more exclusive to peddle shit and require them to sign up on websites to give out their information. How about you act in good faith and make sure the game is good, then spread it to people?

XoXO,
Not a customer because of this

Haha this is just awesome!

It's bad enough as a game already with the horrible camera, and the graphical corruption of the lighting is just plain ugly. The single player mode is nothing new and the multiplayer is just plain gross! Always the same 4 minute levels that just invite people to be assholes and fuck others over will piss pretty much everyone off sooner or later. Add plenty of rediculous bugs to that and the mess is complete.

No wonder you need a code for this demo, else there is nobody left that will actually buy it =P

If the first game was any good then they could maybe get away with something like this but they need to be getting this demo into as many consoles as possible to show that it doesn't suck like the first one.

Is this intended to drive up interest, like a scavenger hunt kind of thing? I can see beta keys being required for a beta so that you know what you are getting into but why a demo? It seems like it is going to turn more people away from it. I love me some co-op gaming (Army of Two, Army of Two: TFD etc.) but this reduces my desire to try it out.

Brilliant, a demo is available for a game that I have very little interest in playing but might give a demo a whirl in the event that a demo of said game might change my mind (which has happened on an occasion - Splinter Cell for one example).

Oh wait... I need to search for an exclusive code. Feck that! I'll go back to what I was doing....
