Resident Evil 5 demo now on Xbox Live

Resident Evil 5 is a game that takes some risks with the series: the controls have been updated, but you have many choices in how to control your character.

The game now has a very strong focus on co-op play, and at CES 2009 Capcom told us straight out that playing with a friend is the "recommended" way to experience the title. Gamers can find out for themselves today if these are worthwhile changes to the game, as the demo has been released on Xbox Live.

While PS3 gamers will have to wait until February 2 to play the game, 360 owners can play three levels, single player or co-op, either online or split-screen, and explore the changes made to the game. The demo is a lightweight 472MB, so you shouldn't have to wait long to get your taste.

You can be sure we'll be playing more than once, in single player and online, to give you our full thoughts tomorrow.
