RE5 Demo out during the week of January 26

Xbox 360 gamers can forget about waiting until March 13 to sink their teeth into Resident Evil 5. Instead owners of Microsoft's system will get a two-level demo exclusively for one week on January 26. The two levels are Assembly Place and Shanty Town and they can be played cooperatively on one system, with AI support, or over Xbox Live with a friend.

Players will encounter the Majini Executioner and the Chainsaw Majini as well as hordes of other infected citizens. The demo also includes the option of using the new "action controls" that are said to be inspired by games like Halo 3. The original Resident Evil control scheme is available as well.

Fans can also look forward to the trailer that was previously only shown at the Tokyo Game Show last year. The video will hit Xbox Live on January 16 with the demo following ten days later on January 26.

Great, the first day of college semester the demo comes out :| ... :(

I'm looking forward to it. Although I was hoping they'd release it a little sooner.
