Ubisoft has released a multiplayer demo of Splinter Cell Double Agent for the Xbox 360.

The new multiplayer demo is available now via Xbox Live Marketplace and is just over 700MB in size. This means you can sample some of the game's multiplayer offering before the game arrives in stores on Friday.

Unfortunately you won't be able to access the demo if you're in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore or Taiwan. Splinter Cell Double Agent for Xbox 360 is out on Friday, and should be followed on October 27 by the PC, PS2, Xbox and GameCube versions.
