An Xbox 360 demo for Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days should be available today in North America and the UK -- though access requires a code. Previously presented as a UK and Ireland promotion, there are apparently ways to obtain demo codes even if you live on the other side of the pond.

Options include:

• Visiting KaneandLynch.com
• Checking the Xbox Live Dashboard "soon" for a chance to get an unlock code.
• Sending a message to the 1UP "KaneLynch2" profile

Up-to-the-minute info is available at the "Exclusive Demo Forum" on the Kane & Lynch 2 site. Does this whole thing seem a bit chaotic to you, too? It's Kane and Lynch -- nothing ever seems to go according to the plan.
