The Demo features a full-impact solo race with a race of 8 Ball in San Francisco and a devastating multiplayer demolition derby event, as well as the beta of new racing service RaceNet.
To mark the launch of the demo, Codemasters released this ‘Demo Derby’ video showcasing the all-action motorised mayhem that players can experience today, get it after the jump:
In the demo, the single player ‘8 Ball’ race, players take part in a chaotic, full-impact race in the shadow of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, using boost to sprint ahead of rivals and speeding through crossover points where drivers can dodge or takedown opponents.
Once players have completed the race, they can challenge a friend online to unlock the ‘Rampage’ multiplayer mode. In ‘Rampage’, eight drivers feed their appetite for destruction in an online demolition derby event, earning points for crashes, smashes and eliminations.
