EA has released a demo for its upcoming football/soccer World Cup tie-in 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil.

The demo allows you to play as Mexico, Brazil, USA, England, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, or Ivory Coast in the game's Kick Off mode. It weighs in at 1.7GB on PS3 and a slightly slimmer 1.66GB on Xbox 360, where you'll be to be an Xbox Live Gold subscriber in order to get it.

The full game comes out for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on April 17, far in advance of the actual tournament which kicks off on June 12.

"With gameplay and game mode alterations that only the most hardened of subscribers ever recognise," said GameSpot freelancer John Robertson in his recent preview of the title, "is EA justified in releasing tweaked editions of what is essentially the same game every annum?"
