Lost Planet reaches 1 million downloads

Capcom has revealed that demos for Lost Planet: Extreme Condition have been downloaded over one million times over Xbox Live.

The figure includes both single and multiplayer demos, and is a vote of confidence in the title, due for release early next year.

The publisher claims the multiplayer demo has clocked up over 300,000 hours of play time online since release last month.

The single-player demo was released on the Xbox Live Marketplace back in May as part of Microsoft's synchronised E3 showing, which also included playable demos for Test Drive Unlimited and Moto GP.

"Since we made the multiplayer demo available through Xbox Live Marketplace, there have been hundreds of thousands of hours spent playing the game, which is a great testament to the quality of Lost Planet," said Hiroshi Tobisawa, president of Capcom Europe.

"This latest demo has completely energized the Xbox community, giving them something to look forward to in the New Year, when the next big hit Xbox 360 title hits retail."
