New PDZ Demo, Downloads

Despite the title being available at launch, otherwise uninitiated 360 owners can now download a demo of Perfect Dark Zero from the Xbox Live Marketplace.

The demo lets players blaze through “the Outpost” level solo, split screen co-op or co-op over Xbox Live with one additional player. A brand new multiplayer map will also be in the demo, Plaza, and playable with online buddies or AI bots.

For early adopters, Rare and Microsoft will make several updates and new premiums available via purchase at the marketplace. Free auto-updates include 8 new bot personalities (skins and difficulty routines). Bots like BullyBots always head for the weakest of the pack, whereas Venge bots favor killing the last player that killed them.

Finally, for a modest Microsoft Points fee, 4 new multiplayer maps can be downloaded.
