StarCraft II Demo Now Available

StarCraft II Demo Now Available

If you haven’t yet experienced the intense strategic combat of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, you can get into the action today with the newly released demo edition. Featuring full access to the first three missions of the single-player campaign, as well as unlimited access to skirmish mode as the terrans versus an A.I. opponent, the free demo gives you an introduction to the cinematic storytelling and fast-paced gameplay of StarCraft II.

Begin your demo experience here. You don’t need a Battle.net account or Internet connection to play once you’ve downloaded the demo, but you will need both if you are ready to upgrade to the full version of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. For more information on the demo, read the FAQ.

A free demo with unlimited playtime sounds very nice. I already have SC2 since one day after release, but I'm sure this will get more people to find interest in the game (and eventually buy the full version to play Protoss, Zerg, and the full campaign). Could have been made sooner though (why was it months earlier in the US?)

Good move.. now people that always delay buying the game can play the demo first to get a general idea and then get the game later.

@Sandok: There are just "few" more language here in Europe. Everyone must have the chance to play the demo in each Starcraft's supported language. ;)

What? Seriously? What is happening? Is the end really coming?
What's the point in releasing DEMO that long after release? In old Good Days you could try demo of game BEFORE BUYING IT. But yes "You had beta! and a lot of videos in youtube!" Trust me - demos are needed to let players decide if they want game before release. After release players can just go and get "demo" from TPB or elsewhere. Please blizzard atleast you stop doing nonsense. I'll be waiting for DIABLO 3 demo BEFORE RELEASE.
