"Criterion Games is going all-out with its upcoming demo version of Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box for the PC. The game is scheduled to release on PC in February 2009, and around that time, the demo trial version will be made available. Instead of only showcasing a small portion of the game's content, PC gamers will be given a time limited experience which will allow them to play with three cars across the entire full city. Additionally, the Cagney Pack update, the Bikes Pack update and the upcoming Party Pack will all be included.

When the full game's released in Feb '09, we want all our PC players to be sure it runs perfectly on their system, before they commit to buying it. We also love the game and feel confident that if you try it, you'll want to sign up for more!

And it wouldn't be Burnout Paradise without your friends enjoying the game right there with you, so the demo includes our freeform, seamless online play – Freeburn. Join up with friends and work together to beat challenges for up to 8-players.

Obviously, there's a limit to just how much you can do and for how long, but we hope you'll agree that there's plenty there to give you glimpse of what the full game has to offer.

In Feb '09, the demo will be available from www.criteriongames.com and www.ea.com, but we'll also be distributing millions of disks. Once you've installed the demo, you don't need the disk to play, so you're free to share it around. To get the most out of the demo, try out Burnout Paradise online with your friends. We'll bring you more info on where to obtain your FREE trial in the run up to the release in February.

Criterion has received praise from media outlets regarding its continued commitment to providing free DLC packs for the console versions of Burnout Paradise. The Ultimate Box represents the very first Burnout game to be ported to the PC platform."
