Mass Effect 3 Demo Now Available

Itching to take the fight to the Reapers for one final time as Commander Shepard?

Today you can get a taste of what Mass Effect 3 will have to offer with the official demo now launched for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

From the official Bioware blog:

The demo begins in dramatic fashion with the spectacular opening attack on Earth, after which you’re thrust headlong into a mid-game section showcasing the groundbreaking interactive storytelling, adrenaline-pumping action, ruthless and intelligent enemies, and deep customization that make Mass Effect 3 the must-have title of 2012. Once you’ve finished the single-player section, jump into four player co-op missions with your friends – battle the enemies of Earth in two maps from the full game and earn a wide variety of perks and upgrades for your characters.

And while you’re waiting for the demo to finish downloading, why not check out the first official ‘FemShep’ trailer released earlier this week, the first trailer to showcase the ability to play the entire series as a female Commander Shepard.
We feel that it adds a whole extra level of class to the game, which Shepard do you play as?

We previously reported on Mass Effect 3′s purported DLC and its’ iPad-shooter tie in, not to mention that the game has been certified GOLD – meaning it’s finished and is ready for packaging/shipping.

Not long to wait now as Mass Effect 3 launches March 9th.

Download the demo from the Xbox Live Marketplace here and keep an eye on the PlayStation Network Store where the demo is set to go live later today.
