UEFA Champions League 2004-2005 demo

Chelsea versus Bayern Munich in 165MB.

Electronic Arts has released a PC demo of its UEFA Champions League 2004-2005 title, which is due out on PS2, Xbox, Cube and PC from 14th February. Lovely.

The 165MB demo required DirectX 9.0c to run and offers you "the chances to experience one of the 50 missions, unparalleled depth and all new set pieces". By missions it presumably means... Er...

Well, we know it lets you play as Chelsea against Bayern Munich, which may well be some sort of classic scenario, but our memory of old Champs League/Cup Winners Cup ties is hazy at best.

And this writer's laptop won't run the demo. The PC probably would if the hard disk hadn't died on Wednesday.

Oh just download it and get out of my sight.
