Looking to try out Assassin's Creed II before buying it? Well, most of you are going to be out of luck.

A Ubisoft spokesperson told ConnectedConsoles that there will be no public demo released through Xbox Live or PSN. You can still play it at exhibitions, though. ConnectedConsoles, for example, was trying the game out at Eurogamer Expo when Ubisoft gave them that piece of information.

No shocker. Open-world games tend not to get demos. The limits of a demo undermines the "go anywhere, do anything" nature of titles like AC2. The first Assassin's Creed didn't get a demo, either.
