A demo for Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 will be released for PlayStation Network and Xbox Live this week, Ubisoft has announced.

The Xbox 360 version will be out today, 16th August, and the PS3 version will follow tomorrow, 17th August, in the States. (Update: The European PSN version will of course be out on Wednesday 18th August. Sorry - ironically that oversight was down to jetlag.)

The demo consists of two single-player missions, Interception Course and Seek And Destroy.

In Interception Course, you play a Russian pilot trying to intercept stolen aircraft above the Caucasus Mountains.

In Seek And Destroy, you smash it up as the Yanks, taking off from a carrier under cover of darkness and blowing up smuggling targets in Africa using laser-guided smart bombs. Boom.

Check out our Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 hands-on preview for more on the game, which is on 3rd September for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
