As a testament to their greatness, Criterion Games announced today a demo will be released for the upcoming PC version of Burnout Paradise. Unlike the vast majority of PC demos and due to the fact that Paradise is an open-world type racer, said demo will include the full game in all of its entirely.

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!

Additionally, the demo will include all of the updates release thus far, plus the forthcoming Party Pack. Of course, a time limit will be placed on how long you can play, but since the demo is exactly the same as the full game content-wise, players can simply purchase the game while playing to remove any restrictions.
