PS2 Burnout 3 to feature Need for Speed Underground 2 demo
Electronic Arts will piggyback a sample of its flagship street racer with its new asphalt daredevil game--and vice versa.
Figuring one fiery car crash deserves another, Electronic Arts announced it will include a demo of Need for Speed Underground 2 with Burnout 3: Takedown. The latter game, which was acquired earlier this year by EA, will ship September 8 for the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox.
In addition to this synergistic cross-pollination, EA will include a Burnout 3 demo with Need for Speed Underground 2 when it ships in November. Both the Xbox and PlayStation 2 versions of NFSU2--which is the sequel to one of the best-selling games of all time--will include the demo. The PC, GameCube, and Game Boy Advance editions will not have the demo.
