Activision has released a playable demo of Apache Air Assault on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

The download weighs in at around 800MB.

The demo features three missions - the first a training run, then two live fire missions. Set on realistic it's great fun - the FLIR gun camera is spookily like the footage we're used to seeing on the news. If you're a fan of 16bit era sims then this is something you really should download.
